Search for Teacher's websites for Ideas and Strategies on Classroom Arrangement,Structure,Activity & Organization

Here are my lists of Teacher's websites for Ideas and Classroom Arrangement,Structure,Activity & Organization : www.prekinders.com  When I found this blog, for Pre-K  I was impressed by the detail of her blog site. The blogger is a professional teacher. She has a complete list of blog topics that I have been searching for such as : Literacy,Math,Science, Art, & Music, Fine motor activities.She also has different themes in the way she writes her blog, which means she is also very creative in writing. One of her example was Beginning School Families, Community Helpers, Transportation, and more, which is a relevant curriculum. Also, I like her classroom ideas: The teaching tips, assessment, centers, and tech for teachers, which I believe this talks more about classroom management, organization, as well as assessment.She offers printable assessment too.  www.teacherpreschool.org  This teacher preschool blog, I have been following this blog on Facebook fo...

Continuing Education

Last year of November 2013, I decided to take Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I thought of making use of time, while the kids are young, maximizing my time to learn more. Getting an M.A. here in the States, is hard because of the fact that I have a family and doing all responsibilities at home is the primary priority. However, opportunity comes. I realized one day that maybe taking a step, one at a time would be possible. So, I tried. I consulted a University and inquire about online class and all the school requirements for admission. Eventually, I become a student for the second time aside from getting my B.A. 16 years ago. Making adjustments of priorities, sacrificing some things that I love to do, setting aside things that may not be relevant at the moment makes the online class less stressful and easy. In fact, going back to school have taught me to mainly do things that are important so I can maximize my time doing on what is relevant, priority, in my daily ...

Life is Good

As a mom, of three kids everyday is busy taking care of your hubby, taking care of the kids activities like basketball, piano, and so on. I work as teacher Aide and a Basic Music Teacher and at night I am an online student finishing my Master's Degree of Education pretty soon. I always experience a hectic schedule. On the other note, life is good! Family is the one that spice up our daily routine, no matter how busy we are, even when we end up having a bad day... I try to be positive, that life is good! There is always another day of sunshine. At the end of the day, I have a choice to ponder, compose myself, relax, take a deep breath and simply thankful for whatever in stored. Life is good, because we have an opportunity to grow each day. We have an opportunity to make our choices right. We are still breathing, our family is in tact, healthy, happy. We may just have enough in our hands but life is good! I m thankful of my job, my hubby,my kids,friends,families,my spiritual life, ...

Make Reading a Habit

I am not a consistent reader, but I read every now and then. Reading relaxes me. It gives me insights, encouragement in life. When I need a new idea, I look for something that I can read. Reading gives you healing, sometimes, it becomes your friend, a hobby...and when you start reading the story that you like...you don't want to let go your book...you will finish it instead. This time I am reading a book about " The Slight Edge " which encourage you to mold, sharpen yourself first, and do a good habit one day at a time...it will become a big progress overtime. It's easier to progress our life when we develop a good personal habits. I like the book and I almost done reading it. The author Jeff Olson, mentioned some great books for personal development that I already read. So, the book is relatable to me as well. Making it a habit to read can be a good hobby, and it develops your reading skills and language skills too in the long run. Read one day and even few pages...

Morning Date with my Friend

I slept late last night because it's spring break in our school. I like to watch movies when it's holiday or spring break, just to relax and unwind myself. I read books too for me to be encouraged in other aspect in life. So, I had fun and I slept at 3 in the morning today.Then, a friend of mine Irene, came and invited me to have a coffee at Starbucks before she left to her yoga class. It was a short morning date,but worth it.It's a good way to keep in touch despite the busy schedule of my nurse friend.I simply love coffee dates, it's a simple joy for me to keep in touch with my love one's and friends.I am wondering if I would go back to take a nap later in the afternoon, because I only sleep for couple of hours. Also, I am excited to do my new morning weight lifting and bike mode work out hoping it would prevent my migraine as I go along doing this in daily routine from now on even just for 30-1 hour a day or every other day.It's my goal to maintain my weig...

Part - time job, Student, Mom,Wife

It has been my long desire to have the opportunity to be able to finish my Master's Degree of Education.The time has come and I have been enjoying it.Also, I work as part time teacher assistant in the toddlers class for almost a year now. Sometimes, I miss working as a preschool teacher in the classroom. However, I need to focus in my class as well. I can't afford to fail. Tuition fee is way too expensive. Aside from being a wife, taking care of my three kids is my priority. Kids grow up so fast. I could not believe my eldest son is already 13 years old. I guess guiding a teen age child is harder than watching a toddler. Being with my kids after school is my choice, and I like it at this time,knowing that one day kids will be on their own,at the same time, situation is a giving me a choice. At home, since I work part -time, at the same time studying, though I like to cook yet I drop the rule of cooking everyday. When I have long assignments and reading then, I just try to reh...

She is a quiet little girl in our home. I hope Daniel can  sing more songs that she love's to sing.
