Not to mention it's what this school is known for! Undergrads in the Education Dept. decorate and fill "teacher pots" that are given to Master's Students in the Education program. It is a gift to them for their own classroom with a bunch of goodies to congratulate them on completing their student teaching/masters in education.<br />
<br />
I graduate with my Bachelors in Psychology in <u><span style="font-size: large;">1 month</span></u>!!!!! Then next year around this time I too will be completing my student teaching and graduating with my masters! I can't wait for these new journeys!!<br />
<br />
Here is the pot I created!<br />

<br />
Dr. Seuss's birthday was on Saturday March 2nd - however as much as I LOVE being in the classroom with the kiddos... <strike>Saturdays</strike> the weekend is <i>my</i> time! In my practicum class with Kinders, we celebrated on Friday, starting the day off right with Green Eggs and Ham! All the kids tried it, I was surprised! I made a few things: a reading tote (for my Dr. Seuss books, of course), a Seuss shirt, and center activities!<br />
<br />
<u>~Seuss tote: </u><br />

That about sums it up. I thought it would iron on with transparent background...luckily I learned otherwise on this tote instead of my red tshirt. My roommate suggested the idea to add a ribbon border to the iron on page, and to add some scrunched ruffle to the handles. I thought it ended up looking less of a disaster! <br />

This is one of my favorite quotes! I have seen it on shirts, bags, walls, framed and I am sure many other places. I loved the way this turned out.<br />

I was super busy with school, but thankfully I am in my last semester and it is more relaxed - finally! Here is one of the things I worked on while I was absent from the blogging world, a "teacher organizer" which have been all over <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>! I helped my mom make one for her new 3rd grade classroom back in August, and I saw one in my friend <a href="http://theschoolpotato.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Alex's</a> classroom...so I decided to make myself one!<br />
<br />
I was also inspired by Molly from<a href="http://www.lessonswithlaughter.com/2012/06/colorful-toolbox-organizer.html" target="_blank"> Lessons with Laughter</a> and Tara from <a href="http://4thgradefrolics.blogspot.com/2012/05/organizing-as-im-packing.html" target="_blank">4th Grade Frolics</a>! <br />

Here is mine! It was easy to make, I think it was because of the paint I used...I didn't need a primer! Less steps=better! I need to find cuter scrapbook paper though. Where do you find cute paper? Share in a comment!<br />

This weekend was the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall. What a beautiful weekend it turned out to be, you couldn't have asked for better weather! I had heard about it from one of my education professors and was strongly encouraged to go AND my mom had also heard about it SO we went and made it an adventure. What an experience! It was packed and it was great to see all the {free!} resources they had to share to promote literacy for all ages. The author talks were interesting to hear, especially since one of the author's has two children at the school I work at! If you were lucky you could get autographed copies of children's picture books!! We were bummed when we found out we were missing Patricia Polacco on Sunday, she is one of my mom's favorite authors.<br />

One of my education professors shared this quote with us in class, and then pointed out that he also signs the bottom of each email with it. Of course, I added it to my journal! I decided to make it and share it with ya'll to post on your desk, in your planner, on a bulletin board - anywhere!

"If it's free, it's for me!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love free things - don't you?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the summer I worked at a summer camp where each week there was a new theme. I found a lot of my ideas from Pinterest and great bloggers like you! During space week I create this space journal for the kiddos to fill out everyday when we watched a short, age-level appropriate video. They'd write down important things they heard, and were able to draw their own picture. I'm bummed though - I can't find the picture of students' covers they decorated. They did a FANTASTIC job designing their covers making it look like outerspace. The picture above will have to do for now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As we teach our kiddos, "caring is sharing" - I firmly believe we need to remember to practice what we preach. I would like to share this document with you for your class! (This is my first time linking a picture to what I believe is called a GoogleDoc...hope it's free and accessible!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PS-for some reason when I saved it as a PDF or uploaded the file onto GoogleDocs a small dash (open the document and you will see)...help anyone? :)</div>

I finally made myself a blog! Now I can use Pinterest, and blogs as great procrastination tools! So long homework! (Just kidding..)<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited to join the blogging world! I have been looking at some
teaching blogs for a while and I finally decided to create my own! :) I had a blog once before, for a class in high school -it has been awhile, and let's be honest I wasn't that creative! I am excited to learn all the blogging tricks
and I wouldn't be able to do it without a little help from <a href="http://teacherbloggingbasics.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Teacher Blogging Basics</a>. A friend of mine, Alex, has been blogging for awhile, she is now a 1st year teacher and off to a rockin' start! I have been following <a href="http://theschoolpotato.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a>, and she has GREAT ideas - she is such an inspiration to me!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the
University of Mary Washington, this is my last year (wahoo for being a
senior!) As an undergrad, I am currently taking many education courses
and practicum placements as well as my major
requirements. After graduating, I will immediately go into the Master's Program to start my Master's of
Elementary Education also at the University of Mary Washington. It is a 5
year accelerated program, which I will be very thankful for in the future! I can't wait to start my student teaching year!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to be a part of the blogging world now! If you have any ideas, tips, or suggestions I would greatly appreciate them! I can't wait to
start posting and becoming a blogging expert like many of you all :) </div>
