Show and tell day

Today I am showing my inspiration. I think inspiration is a great tool to use in the classroom. It lets the students become creative in their writing organiztion steps. It is also really easy to use so all grades can use it. In my inspiration I am using it as a demonstration speech, on the steps of doing a prep in cheerelading.

I started cheerleading when I was in the 3rd grade and did it through my freshamn year of college. Right now I am a volunteer for my highschool's competiton team. I have been helping out the team since I graduated from the high school. Tonianne is the coach and she was my coach when I was in highschool. When I graduated she asked me if I wanted to help her out with the team. She called me her "right hand girl". I love being apart of the team and helping these girls. Tonianne really needs my help this year because she is pregnant .. with twins!  Since I am still young I am able to get in the stunts and help the girls with their techniques and show them what they are doing wrong. Cheerleading has been a big part of my life and I love every moment of it.

catch up day

So I finished my Photo story but I didn't put any music on yet. I keep forgetting to put a song on my flashdrive soI will put a song on my flashdrive when I get home TODAY! I put a reminder in my phone (love technology) I will get an alert on my phone at 7:00pm tonight to remind me to put a song on my flashdrive. If I don't set the reminder then I will forget!

So on Thursday its "show and tell day" I will be showing my Inserpration web. I really like insperation becuase since I want to be a english teacher I think that inserpration would be a great organizational tool for the students to use in class and also at home. It is a great way for the students to get their thoughts out and also to be creative. Also, the teacher can use this as a lesson. For example, if th students are reading a short story or a chapter in a book the teacher can break up th students into small groups and they will then make a insperation web to outline what they have read. 

 Lastly, my teachers website. I have to really work on that today, it is my first time making a website and it is a little challenging for me but I will figure it out.

Happy catch up day everyone!
