Teacher Evaluation
This week has taken my focus to my observation that my principal will be in on Thursday for. We are currently using the Tulsa Model TLE (Teacher and Leader Effectiveness) This model uses 20 indicators in the evaluation and it has been my goal to have several (well, at least 3..lol) examples/artifacts for each of the 20 indicators. OK....Listen up! Here's some words of wisdom!!! Don't wait and do it all at one time! I had even made myself some cover sheets for each indicator in which I've stuck post it notes on as I've done something that I've felt has related to the indicator, but going back and writing it now and trying to find pictures or copies of work....HA! What a chore! SO.........(note to self) Next year, as I do something, I will document it, copy any student work for examples, take any pictures of relevancy and place in TLE binder immediately. Sounds like a plan! Here's just a few of my many pages.

Mystery Walker - Classroom Management
This is the first year I have done a "mystery walker" and wow! I love it and so do the students! All of my students have a number, so I just put numbers on my chips. Anyway, as you're lining up for transitions out of the room, you grab a number (after I give my box a shake to catch their attention lol) and stick it in your pocket. No one knows (except you) who the "mystery walker" is so everyone must be doing their best job to "win". If the student drawn did excellent in the hallway and line, then they receive some reward. In my class, they get to move their number up on the behavior clip-chart.

Reindeer Fun
Today my class started our study on reindeer. I started with a concept map and took in all of what they already "know" about reindeer. Let me tell ya...fun times. Most were about how they all fly and land on rooftops, etc..... One student said "they have things on the bottom of their feet". Another raise her hand and said "I know, they're called horseshoes". Another said, "No, they're reindeer shoes". Finally, one of my quietest little girls raised her hand and said, "Mrs. Aguilar what I think they're trying to say is HOOVES"! I made a reindeer write the room that has been fun too. Want it free?? OK!! Also, check our my store before Cyber Monday is over!!!! Good sale going on!
