Okay. The school project. I know many of you are anxious for me to get back on track with that. If you’re not up-to-speed on what this is, I strongly encourage you to visit that post here. This will review the concept and I also share what materials are needed and how to organize the project. Each month we are focusing on a different aspect of school life for these first graders (totally applicable to any grade). For August, it was all about the first day of school. September was about Centers & favorites. October was about the library & reading. November it will be about recess & play. We’ll also do cafeteria/lunch time. And so on and so forth.

I’m going to re-share a few documents and some are new. Basically what I have so far is August, September, and October. Here are the completed pages in Porter’s book.

Now … a bunch of downloads. You only need to click on the ones in the format that you prefer. If you want to just print it like it is … PDF is perfect. If you want to make your own changes to my file … choose Word or choose Pages (for Mac).

I want address a concern that some of you have about me being on Twitter and Facebook and how this affects my blogging. More than happy to clarify.

Simply put, this website is HOME BASE for my brand. Anything and everything you ever want to know about my brand, my current ideas & offerings & products, can be found HERE. I will always post important information and share my best ideas here. Keeping up with my blog will not be affected by my other communication activity.

As many of you already know, the advantage to following me on Facebook or Twitter is purely for convenience. For example, if you follow me on Twitter, you will be notified immediately when I update my blog or announce something or whatever. That’s what I meant by being “the first to know”. You won’t have to try to remember to come here to my web site from time to time. I’ll remind you. An added benefit (that some people care about and some people don’t) … is that I’ll have quick & little anecdotal comments and tips (140 characters or less) on Twitter.

I have very quickly learned to a lot of you LOVE Twitter and a lot of you LOVE Facebook and some of you love both … and some of you are doing everything to avoid both. : )

That’s the brilliance of all this technology. You choose how you want to go after or receive your information. I am simply making myself a little more available.
