Life got in the way! When we shut down for Covid in March of 2020, I got overwhelmed! I was virtual the whole following year and barely kept my head above water! I am a single mom as you all know and being virtual along with my 12 year old at the time was a little bit unnerving and stressful! </div><div><br></div><div>I converted my basement to a classroom and basically lived there. I wanted to provide my students with the best virtual school experience possible! I did but it came with a cost. Self care was not an option and this was not good.</div><div><br></div><div>I was exhausted! Then I went back face to face the 2021-2022 school year! Not only did we have to get used to being back and teaching with all of the Covid guidelines but we also pilotted a new ELA curriculum. </div><div><br></div><div>I ended this year exhausted but proud because my students made such amazing progress!!</div><div><br></div><div>So here I am looking forward to the school year and I promise I will be more present on my blog!!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you everybody for being amazing educators the past two and a half years!! </div><div><br></div><div>Here’s to a great 2022-2023 school year! </div><div><br></div><div>See you in August when I post about back to school!! </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03009544307876467913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855635972897839845.post-63099716241566472482020-07-13T13:38:00.001-04:002020-07-13T13:38:49.254-04:00Esgi <img id="id_7750_8b46_fbad_f5ea" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qBhKf5Tt0TJ2T7b0JfzEcLLgCghRcx9QQAPAOj-uL8kEIBkw1c26vDz_HRfqkfw" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">"</span><span class="s2" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">July 13th - Bee Ready with ESGI's At-Home or School Progress Monitoring:</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="s3" style="font-style: italic;">Try ESGI At-Home and At-School for accurate, authentic progress monitoring.

First of all do you know what augmented reality is? Have you ever heard of it? Have you ever thought of using it in your classroom?<div><br></div><div>Let’s begin with what augmented reality is! It is simply the combination of the real world and the virtual (computer generated) . If it is done correctly you can not tell the difference. Augmented reality is also known and referred to as AR.</div><div><br></div><div>What is the importance of iAR? AR allows our students to interact with the subject. It enhances their experience by giving them the opportunity to interact with what they are learning about. It makes learning fun! </div><div><br></div><div>Why should we use AR in our classroom? AR enhances their experience! Their interaction with the subject is hands on and it makes the students want to explore and learn. </div><div><br></div><div>One site that I love to use with my firsties is <a href="http://www.quivervision.com/" id="id_5819_cdc_efa0_c79e" target="_blank">quiver</a> just go to their website. This provide coloring sheets that they are able to make come to life with AR. I use this site on Dot Day!

Relationships! I can not talk or write enough about the importance of these! Having a relationship with your kids is vital to their success and to you having a successful school year! <div><br></div><div>How do we do this?

We talked about how it made them feel. Some of their responses were loved and respected! Some said it made them feel special! </div><div><br></div><div>Then we talked about the classroom and what I expected from them. We talked about my expectations academically and socially. </div><div><br></div><div>They then decorated their frame for their pictures to hang on our family wall! </div><div><br></div><div>We used <a href="https://www.thepencilgrip.com/collections/kwik-stix-super-quick-drying-solid-tempera-paint-sticks" id="id_78ec_2c58_a3af_ec39" target="_blank">kwikstix paint sticks</a> to decorate our frames!!!
