Inspirations....
Flatonia Elementary Memo
Inspired this week by Sir Ken Robinson!
This innovative thinker and educational adviser has brought so much inspiration and innovation to today's educators. His keynote focused on creativeness, much like his original TEdTalk that I've included below.
Take a moment to watch this, and consider the ways that we are working to spark creativity in our students...

Check out this Blog Post on Writing Workshop & Guided Reading!
Yesterday I had the privilege of talking to some of the most wonderful teachers in the world...my Texas teachers!!! Okay, so I'm a little biased ;) Honestly though...it was such a GREAT day in Austin. SO much to cover!! Writing interventions, guided reading, behavior management, and vocabulary!

I promised my Texas teachers I'd pop-in today and leave a few FREE goodies to download :) ..... Click Here to continue reading
