I'm also a Red Sox fan for all your Bostonians! I love to bake and look at wedding things in my lack of free time. I have always secretly wanted to be a wedding planner at some point in my life, but planning my own may just have to do for now, whenever that may be! (HINT HINT boyfriend!). Speaking of which, I have been with my boy for over 4 years now and he is an uber sweet police officer in our city.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm back!!!! I'm sorry it's been a while since I've posted, I was at new teacher orientation...aka teacher camp. I was wary of it at first but WOW! I learned so much and came back on top of the world :) First let me say that my new co-workers are AMAZING! I could not have asked for a better staff to work with for my first year of teaching... not to mention my principal is unbelievable! I have to be careful around him because he makes you feel so comfortable it's like hes not even a boss! (we chatted about gossip magazines the first day to give u an idea). I can't wait to get started at school, my staff 90% young, like average age is 24/25, and so nice and fun! Shannon, Kati, Chelsea, and Rachel if you're reading this I love y'all!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Anywho. I learned about CKH (Capturing Kids Hearts) the first two days I was there. I don't know if any of you have gone through this training before, but it changed my life. My girlfriend was sitting next to me during our seminar on Tuesday and said "I can't tell if this is a teacher seminar or a self help seminar" hehe it was both! This program is all about how to connect with your students and "Behave With Care." It teaches them that they are responsible for choosing their consequence if they act out and how to self manage. The leader Bethany (who I want to be my aunt) and other teachers said that they were able to get their classes to self manage (I'll explain in a moment) by November every year and it changed the way they teach.</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Self managing for students basically means that they "check" each other on behavior. If a student sees another misbehaving, talking out of turn, using supplies incorrectly, etc, they give them a hand sign and it tells them to get back on task. This saves the teacher SO much time from addressing every little thing students do. One kinder teacher said that her kinder kids were self managing so well that she could have left the classroom for an hour and nothing would have gone wrong... now how does that sound!?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If y'all have the budget or time, you should see if you school can get this program to come to you for Professional Development. It is through the Flip Flippen Group, Capturing Kids Hearts.... and yes, his name is really Flip Flippen haha.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bethany, my new self proclaimed aunt, also taught the teachers that being sarcastic, or negative really can hurt your work and personal relationships. I am a very sarcastic person.. so this was tough for me to hear. She challenged all of us to call someone we had a close relationship with that night and ask "What is one thing I do that hurts our relationship?" (stress on the ONE thing). I did this with my boyfriend and I sort of already expected the answer. I didn't know however, that it hurts him when I do it. This stung a little! I challenge all of my blog buddies to do this :) Let me know if you do!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Changing something you do in a personal relationship or work relationship (no matter how hard it may be) will really make you feel so much better and create a better environment for your family or your school family. Teach your kiddos to be the best person they can by modeling :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well now that I feel like Dr. Phil, I hope you read all this and feel inspired to make a change and that you have a great work family like I found out I do!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Happy Monday... 29 days till the first kid day!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana;">Ps. I also learned curriculum and our behavior mangagement system, which was great.. but less exciting than the other stuff :)</span></div>Miss Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04078609101684987291noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740698176124233447.post-52518764703444163282011-07-29T15:01:00.000-07:002011-07-29T15:01:46.219-07:00Let me in already!!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am becoming impatient about my school opening!

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got a membership to Costco today and this is what I found!

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I bought these cute tubs.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a paint pen to write on them and make the polka dots! The pink will hold "Clorox/Lysol" type wipes, the blue will be for hand sanitizer, and the green will be for tissues! (Clearly a smaller box, but this was all I had for demo purposes).</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xM7MduY1raVtvk_dOFDWmq_qVQhrxxBtchvqtFCIh7r-kcVniTKXoqYvL_vdpUuJyDowDDmv7ADT7R0yEGy0A7lXrBEwcrEffxLQoxskQPh-0Kml3_2jeBCy3oW70SXXcqTC2Qi5FIc/s1600/photo-37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xM7MduY1raVtvk_dOFDWmq_qVQhrxxBtchvqtFCIh7r-kcVniTKXoqYvL_vdpUuJyDowDDmv7ADT7R0yEGy0A7lXrBEwcrEffxLQoxskQPh-0Kml3_2jeBCy3oW70SXXcqTC2Qi5FIc/s200/photo-37.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuGEkQZ3dToVnkLBMHRbZa8UVkIOLgxY9zKhtYqxns_QVMjW31mUlHLt3PW0VmQH3EEOa88i9nv4dYGWdFUAp_NDDxqBKO1tN4I6eqJk0d8ozBPzs2q_jxhLNFICxG9kl6OkbXw7Q5m4/s1600/photo-39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuGEkQZ3dToVnkLBMHRbZa8UVkIOLgxY9zKhtYqxns_QVMjW31mUlHLt3PW0VmQH3EEOa88i9nv4dYGWdFUAp_NDDxqBKO1tN4I6eqJk0d8ozBPzs2q_jxhLNFICxG9kl6OkbXw7Q5m4/s200/photo-39.jpg" width="200" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszw6XdKSc_JWg03qukBz-t6ZODhFlgWzCyzXo-fDDUUjnmeSthCtZDGQwrMTa0g7kRvJjZGNZGyVteWjqa7A2cmvs6AESl1ZyuweZ8DqH6XxmMYxAGBNAM-SKO0lXxEIrvWRIKdj8nss/s1600/photo-38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszw6XdKSc_JWg03qukBz-t6ZODhFlgWzCyzXo-fDDUUjnmeSthCtZDGQwrMTa0g7kRvJjZGNZGyVteWjqa7A2cmvs6AESl1ZyuweZ8DqH6XxmMYxAGBNAM-SKO0lXxEIrvWRIKdj8nss/s200/photo-38.jpg" width="200" /></a>Miss Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04078609101684987291noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740698176124233447.post-44811357655928477642011-07-26T18:18:00.000-07:002011-07-26T18:18:00.136-07:00Mrs. Polston?<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mrs. Polston...

Before I decided to commit to a career in teaching, I'd always thought I'd become a pastry chef or wedding planner... I still may pursue these on the side or just shower my friends and family with yummy treats :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow.. I was blog stalking and I came across this website <a href="http://www.howsweeteats.com/">How Sweet Eats</a>.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I made my own frosting. I have a secret recipe for buttercream that my family loves... it's not too buttery or too sugary- which makes it light and fluffy :) Because I'm in heaven from these cupcakes I will share it with you!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 c granulated sugar</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 sticks room temp butter</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 1/2 tea vanilla</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 c flour</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 c whole milk (or half and half)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(optional coco powder if you want chocolate.. add about 2-3 Tbsp, depending on the intensity you want)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While the cupcakes are baking, put the flour and 1/4c of the milk into a sauce pan. WISK like mad to make a roue. Once this is mixed, heat to medium while slowly adding 1/4 c more of milk at a time until you've added the whole cup. I URGE you to wisk your arm off until each 1/4c is in smoothly. Once this has happened and the mixture starts to heat.. it will get thicker. Once its thickened (DON'T BOIL) remove from the heat and continue wisking to make sure its smooth and set aside to cool. If you get lumps, push through a mesh strainer. (It's an arm workout to make it smooth... but I promise once you do it and are patient it'll be easier... plus you can skip the gym that day!)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whip the butter 3-5 mins. Add sugar and whip 3-5 more min. It should be a pale yellow and fluffy. Mix in 1 tsp of vanilla to the cooled milk flour mixture, then add this plus the 1/2 tsp more of vanilla to the butter/sugar. Whip on high 5-7 mins. (You would add the coco at this point if you're making chocolate)</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I will be teaching at a brand new charter school which is scheduled to be completed Aug 12 (fingers crossed), as I have mentioned before. This charter school organization requires all new teachers to the charter to attend a week long seminar in MI. Lucky for me.. it will only be a short bus ride with my fellow colleges and teachers from the other new schools being built in MI... I feel for those flying in from NY, CO, IL, OH, etc.... I would not want to come to MI right now when the heat index is 107!!!!
