Private Educational Social Platform with Edmodo

Edmodo the Private Educational Social Platform
I recently went to a technology training and found a site like Facebook or Twitter, but it is safe and is actually used for educational purposes. Edmodo, is a private educational social platform that allows teachers, parents, and students to interact with one another. An excellent use for this would be to post homework assignments and projects. This is a great way for parents to see what is going on in the classroom.

Classroom Set Up

Today is Friday and my classroom is now set and ready to go for the first day of school on Monday. I do feel tired but I intend to relax this last weekend of freedom!

Meet the Teacher Is Tomorrow

Tomorrow is "Meet the Teacher" at my school. I am getting back some of my students when I taught them in 1st grade. I am now teaching 4th grade.

Health Tips for Teachers

Now that school is fixing to start here are some tips we should follow to keep us healthy.

• Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Keep the same sleep schedule even on the weekends.
• Eat healthy foods. Take healthy snacks to school to snack on.
• Relax. Don't stay after school until 5 or 6 p.m. This will burn you out fast. Learn to let go of some things.
• Take multivitamins.
• Drink plenty of water.

1st posting

Hey there! This is my first blog posting on Teachers' Lounge Talk. As mentioned in my profile I am entering my 5th year teaching elementary school. Part of me is not ready to go back to the classroom after resting all summer long. I don't want to give up the freedom of waking up late or having to worry about deadlines.

Today I went to my classroom to set it up. My nephew was there to help me. He was great. I am not going back until Monday; that is when we are suppose to report back to work.

Am going to savor these last few days of freedom!
