Setting up my room.

I'm in the process of setting up my classroom with the help from my "helpers". So many things that have to be done before I can make it owl-ful. :) I really can't wait to get my iPads out, set up and get the kids showing me what they can do. 

Christmas in July

This school year, I went through the application, and interview process to become a Pinnacle Leader in my School as well as district. Today was our first day of training and I found out all of the goodies that I will be using in the classroom.


1) Dell laptop
This tech geek is so excited. My head is swimming with all of the new information. I'm familiar with iOS, so it hasn't been too difficult. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow, but my brain needs rest.

2) MacBook Pro
3) Teacher iPad
4) 5 student iPads with Otter Box covers
5) Charging station
6) $100 to spend on Apps

Owls

All of the Owl things that I found for my classroom. Can't wait to set it up. 

Blogging

I've tried to blog about personal things, family things and school things. I was pretty successful blogging about family things when my kids were infants, but haven't kept up much in the past year. I'm going to give it a shot blogging again, and see how it goes. 

I've spent a bunch of time this summer thinking about next year and how I want my classroom to look and run. I decided on an Owl theme for the room, I won't go crazy, but I want it to look nice. I was able to find some cute owl things from Carson Dellosa and they have coordinating dot pattern. I'm so excited to be able to get back in my room, set up the furniture and get decorating. 

I have Pinnacle training this week Monday through Thursday. I will be learning more about technology with a great group of peers. I can't wait to see what they have planned for us. I'm also looking forward to some adult interactions, I've spent my weekdays with my kidos and ready for some real conversations. :)
