Brynley's Brainstorms: Which way to go?
http://brynleysbrainstorms.blogspot.com/2012/06/which-way-to-go.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Which way to go? So I have officially been on vacation for 5 days. During each of those days, I've perused, pinned, and downloaded. I've also skipped over to way too many Polyvore pictures! In the back of my mind, however, has been little voice saying, "What about your. I've updated my Calendar on my class Shutterfly website. I've begun looking for and pinning activities to my language arts themes. But again, I hear, "What about your. Dirty Hands and Lesson Plans. This is really ...

Brynley's Brainstorms: Pen Pals
http://brynleysbrainstorms.blogspot.com/2012/06/pen-pals.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2012. I'm excited to incorporate Pen Pals into our writing program which already includes letter writing. Who doesn't love getting a letter in the mail? While I've always sent a postcard to each of my students at the beginning of the year, I'm going include a postcard for their birthdays and one positive postcard at some point during the year, as well. Again, I'm seeing another opportunity to share life lessons along with academic ones. How often do they "talk"? Come join my giveaway!

(Who's counting? So I really am going to do it. I'm going to take a couple more weeks vacation and then I'll be back. Back to being inspired by you all, back to exploring all the avenues I can take an idea, and back to creating a warm and fun place for kids and me to excel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Teaching ...

Brynley's Brainstorms: Community Outreach
http://brynleysbrainstorms.blogspot.com/2012/06/community-outreach.html
Friday, June 8, 2012. The first Sunday of each month, my family visits a local retirement home with other families from our church and neighborhood. The families do all sorts of different and easy activities for about 45 minutes with the residents. We sing songs, put puzzles together, color, or even make a treat to eat. Did you know the elderly are especially fond of marshmallows? The Send A Smile. How do you incorporate Community Outreach into your classrooms? Labels: Send A Smile. I'm changing to kinde...

Brynley's Brainstorms: May 2012
http://brynleysbrainstorms.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. Oatmeal or Cocoa Puffs? Prior to earning a teaching credential, I had never heard the phrase professional development. This year, we have spent many professional development meetings learning about and discussing strategies created by Kate Kinsella. When I first heard her name, I was intrigued. I mean, one of my favorite summer authors is Sophie Kinsella of the Confessions of a Shopaholic. Posted by Miss Brynley. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. I'm a scrapbooker, however, that little hob...
