=October 10, 2011= This is a screen capture of the Symbaloo page that I created for myself. As of now, I have the following 5 tabs: Resources, Math, Reading, Writing, and Online Books. In these different tabs I have a variety of websites that I can use to help my students.

 * September 13** - What is one thing I am planning to implement in my classroom this year?

I plan on using as many of the SMARTboard lesson plans as possible. I find that many kids learn best with hands on activities and also watching their peers. I am hoping that I will be able to use many of the SMARTboard games on the SMART table I have. Should I get access to a SMARTboard (like in Sandy's room sometimes) I would love to use the cover up and pull down feature that we were shown. I think that a feature like this will force the kids to follow along and not get ahead and hopefully keep them from falling behind as well. I also plan to use the little things - like customized pens. Kids can be writing their spelling words on the board and write them with a pen that is unique to them. When they can be unique, it helps them want to learn because they are having fun.
