I have exciting news! Chris Biffle got a hold of me yesterday (yes, Coach B!) and offered me a position with WBT as the Official WBT Blog Bug. I’ll be using this logo on my blog when I’m posting about WBT blogs! I will be working with the wonderful Misty from Think, Wonder & Teach and Melissa from WBT with Scrapbunny on all things WBT blog related! Not only will we be continuously networking with all the wonderful WBT bloggers out there but we will also be in charge of updating the ever-growing list of WBT blogs. Together, we will be creating a brand new up-to-date blog list… Read More
Whole Brain Teaching Wednesday! WBT Certification Program
Want to be certified as an official Whole Brain Teaching Certified Instructor? Then the Whole Brain Teaching Certification program is for you! Unfortunately, I haven’t really been on the ball with this program quite yet, although I’ve been enviously watching everyone else post about it regularly this summer. For some reason my computer or internet connection would not format either the live web casts by Mr. Biffle or the WBT Certification PDF so I was left with minimal information. But that is all in the past now because the wonderful Director of WBT Certification, Nancy Stoltenberg, has set me… Read More
Liebster Blog Love
About a week ago I posted that I had recieved one of my first blog awards, the Liebster Blog Award, from Ms. Julie aka Southern Teacher. I was so excited and still am!

Since that time, I was re-awarded this blog by both Roxi Shayne and Nancy Stoltenberg! Now both of these wonderful ladies have AMAZING Whole Brain Teaching blogs that I have… Read More

Resources to Start Off Your Week 21
I found two GREAT Resources to Start Off Your Week that can add so much to our student’s classroom experiences. Both of these websites have so many possibilities in our classrooms and can be used for Social Studies, English, History, Geography, World Issues, Math, etc! As always, I will be adding these to the lists under my Fav Websites page. 1 ) Women in World History– Created by The Center for History & New Media (CHNM), this website houses a collection of primary documents, support materials and lesson plans centered around women and women’s issues throughout world history.–… Read More
Substituting in "T-Division" 3
On Friday I was able to have another substitute teaching day in “T-Division”! I have already had some experience with the division as I was able to substitute teach in an English classroom and in a Grade 2/3 classroom in their French Immersion school a few weeks ago. This time, however, I was in a K-12 school only about 15 minutes from our house. I was so excited because this is a school that I might be applying for a job in next spring! (I have actually even applied to do one of my student teaching placements in this school… Read More
Leibster Award
I’ve won my very first blog award, yay!! I’m sending out a BIG thanks to Ms. Julie aka Southern Teacher for awarding me the Leibster blog award. If you don’t know my story yet, I started this blog after being inspired by the professor of my ICT in Education class this past fall. I was hoping to use a blog as a place to reflect on education and teaching in general (my university education classes, student teaching, substitute teaching, etc) as well as a place to connect with other teachers using WBT. The award is given out to new blogs with less… Read More
New Additions!
Asides from my updated Fav Websites page, I haven’t really changed anything to the blog since I started it this January. In fact, that last time I changed anything was on January 15th when I got a new blog button! Well enough of that! I’ve now added the “Search This Blog” gadget and to help navigate my posts I’ve gone through all 70+ of my posts and added labels. Both of these are located to the right of my posts under “My Button” and “Blog Archive” respectively. Hopefully these changes will be helpful to everyone reading who may be looking for… Read More
