What a Wonderful Word Wall!
I have been putting off updating my word wall for so long, but Ive finally done it! Ive spent nearly two full days on these fabulous word wall sets and I am so excited for them!
First things first, lets start with a fun freebie! These alphabet picture cards have super cute pictures on them, and the vowels are a different color border than the consonants! So fun!

Now... before we move onto the word wall sets, let me back track to one of my first posts... spelling success! Each time I introduce a new word to the class, we put the word on the word wall and one lucky student gets to wear a crown that has the same word/picture on it. I attach the word to the crown via velcro for easy storage.

Anyway... each of my word wall sets have two copies of the word... one that is the perfect size for your word wall, and one that is the perfect size for a word crown! Each of the sets is $4, and theyre available at TPT by clicking the pictures below!






It was a lot of work but I absolutely love how they came out... particularly the borders for the preview page!!!

Online Course Development What Does It Cost
Link to article (By Judith V. Boettcher)
"Does it cost less to design and develop online teaching and learning today than it did a few years ago? Are the categories of cost different today from the past and from what the costs might be in the future? The costs of developing online programs are significant, yet there are few resources to help planners. Here, Judith Boettcher proposes a few guidelines for predicting the costs involved in the design and development of online instruction."
- Rule of Thumb #1: A Learning Management System Reduces Costs for Design, Development, and Delivery?Use an LMS
- Rule of Thumb #2: The More Hours of Instruction to be Designed and Developed, the Higher the Cost of Design and Development. Adopting a textbook for a course that has extensive online content for faculty and students saves design and development time.
- Rule of Thumb #3: Design and Development of Online Degree Programs Can Cost Up to $25,000 Per Credit Hour.
- Rule of Thumb #4: Instructional Costs Shift with Technology Developments and Models of Instruction."

My class is heading out on a field trip next week, and it reminds me about a funny story from last year!
On a field trip last year, we drove past a cemetery. One student says: "Oh no thats where all the zombies live!" To which another student replies, "No! Thats where the undertaker lives!"
They watch way too much TV!

How to See What Your Most Popular Blog Posts Are
This little trick is another one of my favorites. When I think about what option to add to the Technology Tuesday poll, I also try to think about what my most popular blog posts are - ones are benefit teachers in different grade levels. For new bloggers, this can also help you to write more relevant posts... ones that your current followers are loving. Plus, its nice to see that all of that hard work writing fabulous blog posts is paying off!
