To Behave Or Not Behave!
That Is The Question!
I just spent two days at a Professional Development
Conference to learn about autism and how to be a positive role model for
children. I learned so much but given that this was over the span of two days,
I cannot possibly relay everything to you. Therefore, I decided to discuss one
main points that can be used across the board with student, at any given time,
especially for those who have behavior problems or learning disabilities.
Please note that I am not insinuating that students who are autistic or who have learning disabilities also have behavior problems. In fact, many of these students tend to be model students. I want to share this with you because you can use this right away either in your classrooms with any student or during your homeschooling classes with your children.
One of the biggest words that I took away from this training
was FUNCTION. When you have a child who is exhibiting inappropriate or according
to the Zones of Regulation book, “unexpected” behavior, instead of going on the
defensive, I want you to think about and ask the question “what is the function
of the behavior?” In other words, “why is this behavior occurring?”
To really assess this question, it is important to think
about the following: Is it because your child wants to “escape” from doing a
difficult task? Does the child need either your attention or something tangible
from you?

Creativity Has No Bounds
A few months ago, I wrote about the concept of Creative
Thinking. I looked at the purpose behind it and how I analyzed their projects.
What I hoped for but did not expect, was
for my students to take their learning beyond the classroom.

Let's Help Our Children Enjoy Learning.
Children are naturally curious and want to learn.
As children get older, learning becomes a chore. As educators and parents, it is important to nurture this desire so that children not only enjoy the process but continue to become lifelong learners.

May Money Saving Tips!
Over the past 13 years, I have read and learned a lot about

My Financial Challenge!

Saving Money Gradually
Even though I am not financially struggling because I do not like debt. I have decided that I want to go back to school in evenings after work and I do not want to take out a loan. While I have saved up a decent amount, I need to continue saving so that I can pay off the tuition on my own. I am also a big believer in saving for retirement. Therefore, after reading "Quick Money Wins to Help You Feel More in Control of your Finances," by Kristin Wong on Get Rich Slowly, I decided to try the challenge of spending less or being thrifty.
This was a difficult challenge because shortly after I started it, I realized that the past few weeks have been really warm and while I have regular summer clothes to wear outside, I don't have any for work. In order to minimize expenses, I decided to continue wearing some of my fall clothes and gradually bought three shirts instead. That way, I did not splurge between pay periods. I managed to keep aside $100 and when combined with this current pay period, I was able to pay off the Hydro bill and have some extra to hopefully treat my husband to brunch, add one extra item to my summer collection and save some.
As I was reflecting on the beginning stages of my progress, I realized that this could come in handy for anyone. Teachers tend to pay out of pocket quite a bit for their students and this is an awesome way to put money aside for those expenses. Parents who are either homeschooling or not can also use this to save for themselves or for the future of their children.
I would love to know if anyone will join me on this challenge. Please let me know how it goes by either commenting or connecting with me in the following ways:

Bring on the Sunshine!!!!
I absolutely love summer. It is my favorite season!!!! As the sun is beginning to shine gloriously in the sky, my students are getting increasingly energetic. Thankfully, I am almost done teaching most of the core subjects and we are now focusing on more exciting projects. I cannot believe how creative my students are. They truly make me proud. If you have not already seen my post from yesterday, you are missing out on some the awesome things that my little creative genius' have accomplished. I will continue to add to that post as my students are still in the midst of working on their creationsOver the past few weeks, I have been wracking my mind to try and figure out how to keep my students excited about the last month of school in June. I finally came up with a few ideas.
1. I plan to use some drawing and coloring activities to maintain my students artistic side:
2. I want to introduce or re-introduce some summer words to my students:
3. We definitely need to have some fun in the sun with brain breaks.
4. We will also be working on some of our literacy skills in a more creative manner.
5. To recap, please see the following as it encompasses everything that I mentioned above:
Whether you use any of these or not, enjoy the these last few weeks with your children and students because they go by so quickly. I hope you have an awesome last month of school.
If you are homeschooling, I hope you fall in love with these packages like I have.
