365 Days of Resources
So, on to my goal of sharing resources. Right now, I plan to post twice a month. My posts may be about just one specific resource or a number of resources. (Like I've done below.) I just want to be more consistent and share the wonderful resources I come across - other than just through my diigo bookmarks. I will also try to share a "To Do" in the post as well - just a quick reminder of those little things we often forget about. Finally, I will still email the staff a link to my blog post, but you can always subscribe to either of the blogs. Here's to a great 2009. Let the resources begin...
Year-Long Resources
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to lay some new plans for the year to come. Here are a few resources that I hope will be helpful as you gear up for 2009.
Daily Writing Prompts
This is actually a section of The Teacher's Corner web site that I author and maintain. You will find writing prompts for everyday of the year. (Some days have multiple prompts to chose from.) On as many days as possible, we have selected an event from our monthly event calendars to be the focus of the writing prompt. Because they are digital, you can display through your projector or on a single computer...eliminating having to make copies!
Scholastic Teacher Planning Calendar
Great activities, lesson plans and resources that you can use in your classroom and are geared towards all grade levels. I also like the fact that you can look ahead to the upcoming months to help with your long-range planning.
Daily Buzzword
Help your students learn new vocabulary words every day of the week. The link at Merriam-Webster's Word Central gives you the word, part of speech, audio clip of pronunciation, definition, example sentence, and a quiz to apply your new vocabulary knowledge.
To Do! - Update your laptop's software!
Software updates are frequently released. These updates serve many different purposes: new features to current software, fixes to bugs/problems, or for the improvement of your computer's operation. It's important to periodically check for, download and install these updates. I decided to make a job aide for this first "To Do" item so you could easily refer back to it in the future. View the Update Your Software page on my wiki.

365 Days of Photos!
Well, this is what happens when I'm on break...I find new and fun things. While on Twitter this week someone posted a link to their blog where they mentioned their excitement about the 2009/365 flickr Challenge. Well, I love photography and I love a challenge, so I had to check it out.This is where "everyday in a photo" comes in...I decided that taking and uploading a photo a day wasn't enough - I had to start another blog. In today's post I did some additional reflecting - thanks to a friend of mine who actually blogged about my blog in her blog, "Changing Connections". ;) As I mentioned, this challenge has become somewhat like an experiment, leaving me to answer the following questions: How would this challenge change my view of the world around me? Would I become more appreciative of the small things? Would I see things that I never noticed before? As the days and months go by, would posting everyday become easier or more of a challenge? The good thing is, I have 362 days to answer these questions.
If you're interested, you can either follow or subscribe to "everyday in a photo"...and please leave your comments and/or thoughts.
