<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hSwyxcg5SEw/XdvqgObV8GI/AAAAAAAAHzE/rnUpqwGlsbgsH_xy6MI0BGVOYUtkkficQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Heroes%2Band%2BVillains.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="375" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hSwyxcg5SEw/XdvqgObV8GI/AAAAAAAAHzE/rnUpqwGlsbgsH_xy6MI0BGVOYUtkkficQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Heroes%2Band%2BVillains.png" width="255" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last year some of my students wanted to make comic books for their classmates to read and I wanted to have standards for what I would allow in my classroom so I created a lesson for all of my students.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, that lesson didn't go well. I allowed students to turn in either a comic book or a story in Google Docs and the comic books didn't look good and the stories didn't accomplish the purpose I set out, so I scrapped the whole thing and started over.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I read aloud the first book in the Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy series and since I had the same request to do comic books, I tried again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=thear0b4-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=0060774665&asins=0060774665&linkId=38bd4c776bb49a0248b82a1c10348fd3&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my Heroes and Villains lesson that I had posted previously on my blog and added a rubric and story guidelines, etc. This assignment was much more successful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The second half of the request was that students get to share their books in a bin in class. We came up with a set of rules, because these books are rare, one of a kind works of art.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My teammate took this picture at the end of the first day of school this year. I'm smiling and that's a good sign. This is the beginning of year 28.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Three years ago, a woman I'd never seen before knocked on my door and asked me if I planned to divorce my husband. I discovered that the life I thought I had wasn't real. I joined a recovery ministry to get help for myself and ended up co-leading it. (This is the story of my life.) My ex passed away suddenly this March. It's been a rough three years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I share this on a teaching blog, not to get sympathy, but to share how experiencing multiple emotional traumas affected my ability to focus and learn. It's one thing to read a book about trauma. It's another thing to live it and process it and try to come through it as a whole human being.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of focus and reading, I used to be able to read at least a book a week. I am doing well if I finish a book in a month. This is one way life's events have affected me. Experiencing this helps me understand why my students struggle to focus on school work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The morning my school introduced trauma-informed instruction, the school counselor began with a list of adverse experiences. I identified with so many of the experiences on the list, that I bolted from the room. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I have processed through my own emotions, I have gained empathy. I have students who have been through so much and yet they show up every day and try to focus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My life right now is so different than what I expected, but I'm finding ways to be better not bitter. My support group has an elementary teacher as a recovery leader, and they are okay with that. My students have a recovery leader as their teacher, and I know they are better off for that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a person of faith I do believe everything works together for good...even when I don't feel it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ft. Dix 1983 -- I didn't share my military experience for a while except
when participating in two truths and a lie. People would thank me for
being a veteran and I would awkwardly thank them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> A friend and
fellow veteran has encouraged me the last several years to stand for
those who can't. We teach at the same school so we would both stand during the school assembly. Students would turn around to stare.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I think what I have is survivor's guilt. I didn't make any difficult sacrifices. I left service
better off than when I went in. The military paid for my college and gave me some life experiences that helped me when I became a teacher.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If identifying myself with those who
didn't have it as easy helps them, I'm in.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Did you survive Halloween?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year Halloween was on a Thursday, which meant that Friday we had school with overtired, over-sugared students.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We weren't supposed to wear costumes, but some students ignored that directive. Since we changed the dress code, we don't really do anything when students come to school dressed inappropriately.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my students came dressed as a unicorn. She refused to math and when I pushed her, she whined, "My biggest problem is that Halloween is on a school day!" I wanted to agree with her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One year I had a class where costumes were a regular occurrence. There were hoodies that looked like animals. One day three of them came dressed in Hogwarts robes. They did okay until they got carried away with the wands at recess.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To paraphrase a meme, if nothing exciting happened today, did you even teach?</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I missed blogging. I had to come back and I'm surprised that after two years of ignoring Artistry of Education, my following has grown.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had quite a personal journey in the last five years and I may share bits and pieces here, but most of it feels like it belongs in a bad made for TV movie instead of a teaching blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I went back to teaching the fall of 2016. I spent three years teaching fifth grade in a gifted and talented program. This year I moved to third grade in the same program.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But enough about me...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This last week I had student/parent/teacher conferences. After years of traditional parent teacher conferences where I told the parents how things were going and then they went home and told their children, I facilitated student-led conferences for three years. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Conference-Recording-Sheet-4976925">This year, I decided to give everyone a list of questions ahead of time and simply have a conversation about how things were going.</a> I think it was less stressful for everyone and the parents could excuse the students for part of the conference if there was something they wanted to share with me privately.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I tell my students that I don't tell their parents anything I wouldn't tell them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There were a couple of funny moments last week. In the middle of his conference, one student asked if he could have a private word with his dad. (I still don't know what that was about.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One student stayed up past his bedtime to finish a writing assignment so he wouldn't be in trouble. He didn't realize that the computer showed that he turned it in just before midnight, so he was in a different kind of trouble.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Three students made a pact of silence the day after their conference, because they got into trouble for talking. Third graders can't stay silent for three minutes, not the three hours they planned.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love my job. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Conference-Recording-Sheet-4976925">Here is a link to my newest free product in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, Conference Recording Sheet.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's good to be back.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zLM_mvOe0U4/WYX7kSDPXHI/AAAAAAAAHf8/bV9pwjGE9s0d1enPddRvcVP29-T1sSW7QCLcBGAs/s1600/A%2Bof%2BE%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="307" data-original-width="309" height="198" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zLM_mvOe0U4/WYX7kSDPXHI/AAAAAAAAHf8/bV9pwjGE9s0d1enPddRvcVP29-T1sSW7QCLcBGAs/s200/A%2Bof%2BE%2B3.png" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nine and a half months ago there was a knock on my door and someone delivered a message that would alter my life's course forever. I had a choice at that moment. The news could make me grow bitter, or I could absorb it and let it change me into a more compassionate human being. Each morning when I wake up, I try to choose the latter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">During the school year, several things were in maintenance mode as I struggled to come to terms with what my life was about to become. This blog was one of them, and I wondered what my writing future looked like.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This summer I dove into my mess, determined to find answers and direction. I am figuring out what I need to let go of in this new season and what to hang on to. It was not the summer I planned on, but I was grateful to have time and space to do some self-examination.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A few days ago, I was offered a social media coordinator position for a local <a href="http://www.celebraterecovery.com/">Celebrate Recovery </a>group. This is an opportunity to use what I am learning to help and encourage others. It is an opportunity to use my pain for something good. As a result I plan to stop writing regular posts for Artistry of Education and dedicate that time to writing about hope, grace, and freedom in knowing the truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have enjoyed the teacher blogging space for the last six and a half years. I plan to leave the blog and stores up as resources for a while. It's time for my writing life to follow my new calling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for reading and sharing with me all these years,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This year I modified my <a href="https://artistryofeducation.blogspot.com/2015/06/our-settlement.html">Settlers</a> unit to incorporate what we learned in science. Instead of creating a historical colony, we studied the plans for a colony on Mars. We created a class bulletin board with characters and the setting for our colony. This became a jumping off point for several writing projects.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Esther Friesner imagines the childhood of Helen of Troy. Helen of Sparta is being trained to be a princess and a bride, but she prefers to learn how to fight and have adventures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I would recommend this book for girls fifth grade and above. Our sixth graders learn about ancient cultures and this book would fit perfectly in that unit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Five years ago, some unusual debris from a Japanese tsunami washed up on Washington and Oregon coasts. <a href="http://artistryofeducation.blogspot.com/2012/08/at-beach.html">This prompted my original writing prompt post here.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year I have been updating many of my writing prompts to make them printable graphic organizers. "At the Beach" should be a realistic account of what might find at the beach that is unusual. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a completely unsolicited testimonial of my experience using Kahoot in my classroom this year. I do occasionally write posts for products when people ask me to, but only for something I have actually tried in my classroom. My opinion is always my own.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My students love to play <a href="https://create.kahoot.it/login">Kahoot. </a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started having them create math quizzes for each other at the end of a unit. They were hooked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tech sites are great when they work, but not all of them are very responsive when something goes wrong. I am happy to report that Kahoot got back to me every single time with a helpful suggestion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My students are on 1:1 Chromebooks. We log into Google for everything. The problem started when they changed or forgot their passwords and tried to log in again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The password reset process is an email sent to the account holder's email. They problem is our district will not let students receive email from anyone outside our district. (This is a good policy in general, it just made it a challenge to complete this particular project.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After several emails back and forth to Kahoot, they gave me a work-around that allowed me to control password changes. I was very impressed with their helpfulness and wanted to give them a shout out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I love Kahoot!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley, fourteen-year-old Mehrigul has dreams. She wants to continue to go to school, but her family needs her to sell in the market. There she meets a woman who admires a vine basket Mehrigul made. She offers to buy more if Mehrigul will make them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mehrigul's mother is depressed and her father discourages her from creating these baskets. Mehrigul perseveres, because she knows she will be sent away to work in a Chinese factory. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I just finished updating my astronomy unit in my classroom and store. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sun-and-Shadows-Observations-132183">If you previously purchased my top selling Sun and Shadows activity from Artistry of Education @ Teachers Pay Teachers to get the update with three new activities.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the page above for a formative assessment and activity several times during our unit. I wanted to know what my students knew about the relationship between the earth, the sun, and the moon and how those relationships cause days, nights, seasons, and eclipses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Students cut out the three circles and demonstrate in partners or small groups the answers to the five questions. I walked around the groups to note who understood and who didn't. I had certain groups demonstrate the correct answers for the whole class. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Words change their meaning. When I first taught fifth grade, I created this activity for students to look up the meanings of rights, responsibilities, and privileges. They would brainstorm examples and we would discuss what this would look like in our classroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I taught other grade levels for several years and returned to fifth grade this year. As I was preparing my beginning of the year activities, I realized that how I thought about privilege in the past had changed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have updated this lesson to reflect the idea that privilege isn't always something that is earned. I still call my incentive system "Privileges", but it is with the understanding that privilege has different meanings in different contexts.</span><br />
