Indicator 9

I am totally really in to working on my portfolio! I hope it lasts for 19 more indicators! Here is how I am documenting the use of Bloom's. Now, I do so much more than just this one small visual. But how oh how do I document everything? I needed a starting place and well. This was my first venture. I hope someone will chime in and give my nice friendly blog world criticism. I would rather hear from here first!

So this is the cover for indicator 9

And this is what it looks like when you turn the page :)

The pic doesn't show so I added it for you to see:)

This is just one example of how I use Bloom's questioning techniques in my class. This is for the story The Big Circle in our Reading Street. I know we are all using strategies and questions, but man oh man when it come to proving it! Wow. 'Nuff said! 

Good night all!

Hello everyone!
The Oklahoma Teach & Leader Effectiveness evaluation system does make provisions for teachers! Yay! It is not mandatory, just if you need  want to document how you are reaching the indicators, because you have worked so very hard at what you create in the classroom and are proud of it.

Ok, really. I need to get over it. This is just part of my growing. This is a good thing. Look at what it has inspired me to do. OK, I do feel better. This is going to be positive, even though I am up at 11:30 on fall break working on this. At least it will be done!

I went to wally world and got this cute little binder!
Then I created these cute little performance indicators cover pages (just like in college)

Now, I am adding artifacts and justification statements. Not sure if I need to justify. I am doing this online at oktle.org as well. But, you know us teachers-we are trained to document! If you live in Oklahoma, and are paranoid like me interested. You can get them at My TPT store!
Have a great night!
I also, just figured how to add pics from my camera, give me time I am overworked! LOL!

Cha-Ching!!

I am so excited!! I made my first sale on TPT! Now, this wasn't one of those "I can quit my day job" type things, but man was it uplifting!
So, I have been saying things like-how can I make my store better, and what should I upload tonight, what would they like... yes this kind of celebrity thing  goes right to my head. Ok, my hubby and daughter said, "Why do you keep calling it a store? and how much did you make?" Screech  Pause in happy dance.
Me, proudly: It is my teachers pay teachers store
them: a store is like WalMart
Me: Ok
Them: How much did you make?
Me: I made the item for my classroom and have used it numerous times..
Them: how much?
Me: Like I said I have used it numerous times, and someone thought enough of my work to pay a dollar for it.
Them: ROFL seriously, they were.

They were nice later, but you know what? I am still on cloud nine, because I really make things like that all the time, and am just now starting out. I am not Deanna Jump, even though I do dream about meeting her as we shop in our stores.
I have another thing to be happy about- I have 11 followers!! Yay me! How many people can say that they go to work and are greeted with smiles and hugs, and when they leave at the end of the day are given more hugs? And then come home and sign in to blogger and find a new friend? I am so happy!
Now..
Does anyone out there have advice on adding artifacts to the OK TLE? I feel like I really need to build my portfolio.
Good night everyone!
