Run Teacher Run!: 4Cs: How to Teach Collaboration
http://runteacherrunriley.blogspot.com/2014/07/4cs-how-to-teach-collaboration.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. 4Cs: How to Teach Collaboration. A series on the 4 Cs. Creativity. Critical Thinking. Communication. Collaboration. What do these mean in your classroom? I put them in the shape of a puzzle because it's hard to complete the 21st Century vision without one of these pieces. I do not personally have the answers, but I hope that I can summarize what I've learned in other places, from other people, and from professional development. That it will happen. They write a tremendous article.

Bright Owl's Hoots: July 2014
http://brightowlhoots.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 19, 2014. I have to apologize for the extremely long absence! What was I thinking? I have to admit that I am so HAPPY at my new location. The building is larger, brighter and right in the middle of my cute, little town - Fort Branch, Indiana. My favorite part of the entire moving process was knowing that I was going to have an "actual" storefront window to decorate. I went big and bright with the colors! Customers come in just because they thought my storefront was cute :). Another budget-...

Monday, July 2, 2012. Classroom Decorating and Whole Brain Teaching. Soo Its been a week since I've posted anything and I am feeling like a major slacker!

Sunday, May 10, 2015. The Ron Clark Experience. On Friday, I had one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I visited the Ron Clark Academy. If you know nothing about the Ron Clark Academy, stop reading now and watch this video. If you are already aware of Ron Clark, Kim Bearden, and the rest of the staff, then you understand just how big of a deal this really was. I first read one of Clark’s book, The Essential 55. A few months ago (read about that here. We were led around the room to our stoppi...

Koonce's Korner: June 2015
http://kooncescorner.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. A Year of Change PLUS My Summer Reading List. This past school year was a tough one for me. I changed districts and schools and the change had more of an impact on me than I expected. In the six years I’ve been teaching I’ve moved districts three times, moved schools four times, and changed classrooms five times. Whew! It seems crazy when I write it down like that. Change is something I have grown accustomed to, but this year really shook me. And The Essential 55. I got a little...
