Well it seems that I haven’t blogged in awhile. I have
been working to get acclimated to my new school and teaching position. Everyone
at my new school has been very kind and helpful. I am thankful that this
environment makes me feel good. My new position has been a bit more challenging
than I anticipated. That is mostly due to the fact that I have kids at varying
levels with many different goals. So my challenge has been trying to collect
enough resources across 1-4 grade Common Core standards. Just this morning I have
spent 3 hours pinning stuff on Pinterest, downloading stuff
from blogs and Teacherspayteachers and putting stuff on my TPT wishlist. I am having to
learn how to teach some of the upper grade math standards as I am not use to
teaching upper elementary grades. It also seems that math is taught a lot
different than I learn in high school or college.
I have had two IEP meetings and have much to learn about
writing IEPs and PWN’s in the correct
manner. There is so much to learn everywhere.
So I do like a challenge, but I am hoping that by
January I don’t feel like I am still treading water.
The good news is that I am enjoying getting to know my
students.
I have no new items that I have made as I have been too
busy gathering resources that other people have made. Since I have nothing new
to show you I decided to have a sale this weekend in my TPT store. So today
(Sat. Sept. 27th) and tomorrow
(Sunday Sept.28th) all the products in
my store will be 20% off. Here is the link to my store http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Erica-Gower Enjoy!!
