WBT Super Leader Rules

Happy Wednesday! I love Wednesday's during the summer because that means I am done with my summer job for the week! I work summer care at my school, and as much as I love my littles, it wears. me. OUT!

Well, last night I posted about my first TPT product! I wanted to show you how I decided to display it in my room to give you a better idea of how it could be used. At the beginning of the year, I spend the first few weeks focusing on the class rules, words, and gestures used with WBT. I hope this is a great tool to refer to while teaching my students the rules. I am also working on a few other super hero themed products that I hope to post in the next few weeks!


So, what do you guys think about my first TPT product? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for reading!

My 1st TPT Item!

Hello blogger buddies! This made me laugh! I feel like all I have been doing is blogging, working on TPT documents, Instagramming, and pinning on Pinterest here lately!

And..ahem...speaking of TPT items...I have some EXCITING news!!!

Oh-my-lanta, y'all!!! I am SO excited that I have just uploaded my very first TPT product! Please tell me I am not the only dweeb here!

Are you a Whole Brain Teacher? I discovered WBT about 3 years ago and am IN LOVE with this teaching method! Last year was the first year that I was really comfortable with this style of teaching. My oh MY did I see a difference in my students learning and engagement throughout the year! If you haven't heard of it, google it! I highly recommend researching and learning about it! I started by watching a million few videos on YouTube and went from there. A few videos I recommend are: Miss Freundlich- She is AMAZING! Mrs. Shipley- Kindergarten? Say WHAT?? :) And multiple, multiple more!! Chris Biffle, the WBT originator, even has a channel! YouTube and Pinterest are overflowing with WBT videos and ideas!

The product that I have uploaded is the WBT classroom rules. This year I am doing a super leader theme to go along with the leader in me program that my school is implementing. If you're intrested, hop on over to my TPT store using the link below and feel free to use my FREE product! All I ask is that if you download it, please follow me on TPT! I know I don't have much right now to offer, but in the next few weeks I will have much more super leader themed products to share with you! EEK! I am having a total dork moment. Judge me all you want! ;-)

WBT Super Leader Classroom Rules

Thanks for reading & happy almost Wednesday! 

Sunday Smorgasbord

Is it really Sunday again? Time needs to slow down, for realz!! I am joining up with Michelle at Fabulous in First to share the randomness of my week! 

{ONE}

I was able to work in my classroom 2 days this week! It was a total mess when I got in there! It is still a mess, but slightly more organized! I am really hoping to get more accomplished this week and have some better pictures for you next week.

{TWO}

I started working on what will be my first TPT items! This year I am doing a super leader theme and needed to update my behavior clip chart and other classroom decor! Tune in soon to check out my products on TPT! Exciting! :)

{THREE} 

Two of my best friends from college, Laura Beth & Sam,  visited me in Huntsville this weekend! I'm super sad we didn't get a picture together! WAH! They attended a Kindergarten conference and I was super jealous that they didn't have something for us firsties! It was a short visit, but I loved every second I had with them! There's nothing like Mexican, margaritas, and P.J talk time with the best friends around! By the way, check out Sam's blog & show her some love! She just updated her blog design! :)

On Saturday, I had a much needed friend date with my sweet friend Katelyn! We went to Pepper Place Market & brunch at El Barrio. I love that girl to pieces and don't know what I would do without her! Y'all. Oh my goodness am I a sucker for a good farmers market!! Gorgeous flowers, fruits, veggies, jewelry, etc! I love supporting local farmers & other businesses! We have decided this will be a monthly occurrence for us. Oh and by the way, I have also decided my new favorite flowers are sunflowers!

{FIVE}

Today I dropped my little bro off at a 4 day baseball camp hosted by Auburn University! Can you tell he was excited? I am just hoping his "end of the world" sounding alarm clock we got him actually wakes him up in the mornings! That boy could sleep 'til dinner time if no one bothered to wake him up before. Hopefully this will be a great experience for him and help him become a better baseball player! We are so blessed to have this opportunity for him to attend at no cost thanks to his wonderful counseling program! And this camp isn't cheap, folks! It has been a very tough year & a half for us after losing our daddy unexpectedly. I can't explain how much it joys me to see him smile and be excited, because they have been few and far between lately. I love him with all of my heart and am so happy he has this opportunity!

I want to leave this post with a little reality check for myself. I don't know about you guys, but I am often overwhelmed with the beginning of the year. Decorating, lesson plans, relating information to parents, the list is unending. I have already had a few sleepless nights worrying, planning and brainstorming. As I prepare for the beginning of the year, I am going to keep this quote in my mind because this is what it is all about. Yes, the planning, decorating and communication are important, but sometimes I lose focus during the storm and the most important aspect of my job is lost in the mix. It's all about difference that I make in my students lives. The reality is we are sometimes the only positivity out babies see in their day and I want to do my best to be all that I can for them. Not only their teacher, but their supporter and encourager.
