Instagram post 2130067394572066986_4617441784 Do you teach multiple class periods???⠀⁣ Increase student participation and focus with these pull sticks! If you teach multiple classes, you an use these sticks to call on students at random. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ How it works: Group your desks into different colors. For example, each row is pink or each group of four desks is blue. Next, assign a number to each seat in the group. For example, the first desk in the row is #1 or the left-hand corner desk in the group of desks is #2. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Now each student will be able to respond if his/her group color and desk number is pulled!! So much easier than hundreds of name cards or sticks. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ I put the colored stickers on student desks until they remember them by heart (it doesn’t take long). This process also works well for keeping track of “team” points. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ I hope that wasn’t to confusing. Feel free to send me a DM with any questions. ⠀⁣ ⠀

Instagram post 2127785068454564313_4617441784 We all have at least one book that has made a difference in our lives. Books take us all over the world, open up our minds to new ideas, motivate and inspire us to push beyond our comfort zone, and so much more! ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Choosing just one book is a REALLY hard choice, but I would pick The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ What about you? ⠀⁣ ⠀

Instagram post 2126556020051069425_4617441784 I recently celebrated my 40th birthday, so it’s a great time to let you in on some fun things about me! ⁣ ⁣ 1. I love any and all true crime podcasts. Very basic of me, I know. ☠⁣ 2. I'm terrified of spiders. And "terrified" might be an understatement. ⁣ 3. I just wrote my first book. 📖It will be published this fall. ⁣ 4. I love Hot Tamales. I once ate so many that I burned the sides of my tongue. 🔥🔥🔥⁣ 5. 🎥 Im obsessed with documentaries- any subject. Bring it on. ⁣ 6. I cried when I found out Bethenny was leaving Real Housewives of NY. (Not really, but it was touch and go for a moment there). ⁣ 7. As much as I try, I can't cook or bake. 🙅🏻‍♀️⁣ 8. I prefer 🍁fall and ❄winter to spring and summer. ⁣ 9. I love traveling and seeing/doing new things.⁣ 10. I'm never mad about a rainy day and a good book. 🌧📚⁣ ⁣ Do we have anything in common?
