Teaching in November 2016 - That's a Wrap

1/12/2016

November is officially done and dusted! It has been a manic month what with observations, reports and limited access to sunlight! Here's the monthly round up of my teacher life!

In school:
It's been an intense month to say the least! I've had reports to write (which means endless marking!), observations (being observed and observing others) plus I'm closely supporting my student teacher as they start taking over more classes! â˜º

Sadly, I did get sick this month, not surprising with all the stress I've been under, but at least I decided to stay home and recover instead of pushing through and staying sick for ages, which is what I usually do! â˜¹

On the plus side, I did get an outstanding lesson observation which I was thrilled about - my observer said it couldn't have been any better, wow! It's so great to hear the words out loud and know that you're doing a good job for the kids!
In my store:
Considering life has been so manic, I somehow managed to pump out a lot of goodies for you this month!
A friend requested some religion clip art so I got started on them right away, check out what I've done so far:
Judaism clip art @resourceforce
Islam clip art @resourceforce
Buddhism clip art @resourceforce
Christianity clip art @resourceforce
I'll be adding a few more religion clip art sets soon, so keep an eye out for those!

I also created some new teaching resources as I wanted to do something fun with my Christmas Emoji clip art, and integrate self reflection / well-being in particular. I created 3 different sets of self-reflection exit tickets suitable for any topic: 2 in interactive notebook style and one focusing on Growth Mindset!

​The other resource is a really cute Christmas Emoji dot to dot that covers multiplication and times tables from 1-12 - ideal for extension work for early finishers, homework tasks and general fun for the festive season!

Great ideas for evidencing progress over time @resourceforce
and I added 2 new free resources to the VIP area:
  • Remembrance Day Writing Prompt
  • Interactive Notebook Exit Ticket 

Check them out: it's free to sign up!
On Social Media:
Yup, you guessed it - I am still loving Instagram! I've been particularly enjoying taking photos of the pretty Christmas lights in London this month:

And as you know I am passionate about self reflection and well being, so I post a lot of inspirational quotes with stories of how they are motivating me or how I am applying them in life and teaching.
​These are my most popular ones from November!

I also added some new boards to my Pinterest page that will help you out in a whole range of areas in teaching:
​
  • Classroom Community
  • Behaviour Management
  • Exit Tickets
  • Teacher Well-being
  • Morning Meeting Messages
  • Teacher Time Management
  • Advice for New Teachers
  • Growth Mindset Activities
In life:
As this month has been quite intense for me, I watched quite a few films at the cinema which is one of my favourite pastimes! I watched The Accountant, Arrival and Allied (um, how weird they all start with an A!? I'd give them all an A too as too they were great movies!)

I've also been eating out in town every weekend this month and that has been a really great way to wind down after a hard week, plus it gives me a good excuse to take photos of the lovely Christmas lights of London!

So now we are in December - I love teaching this time of year! My classroom is all cosy and festive, I play Christmas music in my lessons and there's not so many commitments and deadlines looming over my head. I won't be seeing much sunshine for a while now as I drive to and from work in the dark but hey, that's all part of the fun! I hope you had a great November and roll on the last few weeks before Winter break, yay!
