I also tried harder to create a classroom culture - I posted a culturally relevant acronym representing key qualities I wanted to foster. I also did "Stars of the Week." Throughout the week I would write short thank-you notes to students I noticed doing something positive and keep them in my desk. I would read and pass them out on Friday before the bell rang and the students really loved it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581539654647664405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-14858597771709778392011-09-23T20:27:25.904-07:002011-09-23T20:27:25.904-07:00I love your outfit Carrie, and this post!

A lot of my family members are teachers (including my mom), so I can completely relate, as I have heard all about their teaching experiences over the years (and grew up helping my mom decorate her elementary school classroom each year & grade papers, lol). I am really happy that you are following your dream to become an elementary school librarian! I love to read and that was something I actually thought about doing at one time, but I ended up with a job in medical sales. Also, I have lots of clothes that I associate with different memories. One that stands out is the outfit I wore on my first date with my husband :.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743748995224843576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-55426429455070392582011-09-23T08:50:33.035-07:002011-09-23T08:50:33.035-07:00I'd love to know some of the things you did to...I'd love to know some of the things you did to make your second year better. Teaching is such hard work. This post was beautiful. I especially feel for students who have a hard time.
