Leader in Me Song

After recently attending a Leader in Me Symposium we quickly realized upon return that we had to have a song!  We wanted something catchy and one that the students would really buy into.  We selected "Call Me Maybe" and then it got really hard.  :)

We are about 4 verses in after putting our heads together...here is s sneak peak of verse one!  There is more to come!!

I am a Woodland Eagle
I am a leader in school
I want to tell you about
the 7 ha-a-bits!

Love this leader in me stuff!!  Stay tuned for additional verses!

We are implementing "The Leader In Me" in our 4th grade classrooms this year.  I wanted to share with your our newest display for the habit "Begin with the End in Mind".  We had students to write a goal for the year they graduate from high school.  We asked them to think about what they wanted to do or have when they graduated from high school.  Their graduation year happened to be 2021.  We took pictures of them holding their goal and then placed in in the form of their graduation year!  Here is the final product!  We were all so proud of how it turned out.  

What do you do in your school?  I would love to hear from you!

I'm excited, I'm intrigued, I'm ecstatic, I'm stumped...I just got a new IPAD to use in my classroom with my students.  I was ready, but now I need to hear from those of you that have experience using them in their classroom.  I know I can use it as another computer, but I want to really get everything I can out of my new resource so I need you!!  Please share with me your ideas on using an IPAD in the classroom.

fRACTIONS and hIGHER oRDER tHINKING...

Yay!  It is a SNOW day for me!  Sorry I had to start that way!  I love snow days, but even more than that I love Friday Snow Days!!  Anyway I was looking into adding a couple of new things to my TPT store and today was the perfect day for that.

I don't know about your school, but where I reside higher order thinking is huge!  Think about your questions, think about how challenging your questions are, post your questions, etc.  Anyway I had created a Fraction Pack last year for just that...higher order thinking.  So far (to my amazement) it has become my most popular product.  I love you all for that!!  :)

I decided I would throw another product up that was along the same lines and see if you guys could use it too!  I sure hope you can.  This one too focuses on fractions, but it deals with the dreaded wonderful improper fractions, mixed numbers, and problem solving.  If you are interested check it out here!  It is entirely aligned to Common Core for 4th grade and has been a tried and true in my very own 4th grade classroom.

BTW I'm joining TPT for their annual Super Bowl Sale.  All of my items will be 28% off!!

        

Now...I'm off to load my cart!
