Hey teach-peeps, I have a little 'ole announcement to make:
Remember when I told you a few months ago how I was super-nervous to start a Facebook page and Twitter account? ...'Cuz I wasn't sure if anyone would 'like' me or if it would be like reliving my middle school gym class all over again?
Well guess what? Some of you super-duper readers out in blog-land do like me (or at least, you like Your Teacher's Aide) and I couldn't be more excited! It was just a happy little coincidence that I happened to check YTA's Facebook page at the moment that there were exactly 1,000 likes. And of course the first thing I did was squeal and yell for my husband (who thought something was terribly wrong and was just *slightly* annoyed when he realized it was just Facebook-induced hysteria) and convinced him take a screen shot for me.
See...

I'd like to just say a big 'ole THANK YOU to YTA's readers. You guys are awesome and I appreciate each and every 'like' you threw my way. :)

I always used to use scotch tape or packing tape to place the children's desk plates on their tables but not anymore. I hot glue gun them down.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier to remove. I hated picking at the tape or even worse the children picking at the tape.
I used to frequently use my spinner for choosing team numbers to respond or who does what at each table. I have now solved the problem by placing a magnetic strip on the back of 2 spinners. One is attached to the whiteboard and another is on a file cabinet. They are in opposite sides of the room to make them easier to access.
