{FREE} Computer center rules posters for teens

Hi guys!

The other day I was asked to be a substitute teacher for 9th grade in my school (we don't have those long vacations in the middle of the year here). I took them to the computers room and just watched what they were doing. Facebook was the first page they opened (Of course). Some of them also opened youtube and started to watch videos.

After a while, I give them a simple task: make a short presentation of your favorite group /music artist. They started fast and get lost in the internet world. Not even one of them finished the task :(

I thought a lot about it that night and came up with a solution: Classroom rules. You could think as they are bigger kids now they will know what the rules are, but no. They need to know they are in a working area where they have to focus in the work.

So, I came up with these and posted in the computer classroom. (I'm not posting real pictures because is not my room and I can be in troubles if I do it)

These are memes, they are fun and viral in the internet. I have to say the kids loved them. They laughed a lot and showed interest in the posters and the content. These posters are free at my TpT store, just go there, download and enjoy! (There are 17 posters in the download)

I will be really happy if you tell me what do your students thought about the posters? Do they helped you in your classroom?

Art journaling {a new hobby}

Now the school is over Im looking for new things to learn. I've started to find some beautiful journals in pinterest and got in love. I even started a new board (you can see it here) and saw many youtube videos about it..... and this is what I came up with in my first attempt:

Well, I need some practice and some tools. Were I live I have a really hard time finding stencils, stamps and good quality paintings. :-(

So I thought maybe I will make it easy digitally. I know is not the same result, but it is really fun too. So I made 3 background designs in 10 different colors each. This is what I came up with:

I used one to make this poster for my niece and she loved so much that she used as her Facebook profile pic:

I think these backgrounds will make beautiful covers for any teaching product and will make it stand out from the rest. You can find them here, only $3.00 in my store:

FREEBIE: Teaching mouse handling

Hi, all. I have these tiny pre-k students who never have touched a mouse, so they dont know how to use it. They press all the buttons at the same time and dont move it. This morning I discovered a broken mouse. I guess some student drop it and it hit the floor and crack.

So I had to figure it out how to make them notice this is a fragile tool and, at the same time, they should learn handling it correctly. Well, this is what I came with. A mouse craftivity. This is how you can make it:

1. Print the template, it doesn´t have to be big, so you can make 2 in a sheet. Clic here to download the template for FREE. For better results you can print it on cardstock.

2. Cut.

3. Color the left button in blue and the right button in red. Here you should emphasize in the difference between left and right button. Color the back of the ears too. The body can be colored in gray.

4. Using tape, paste a little piece of thread in the back, as a tail.

5. Fold in the ears.

6. And voilá! They have a cute mouse. They should be able to look after their mouses, holding it in the correct way (one finger in each button-ear and the rest holding the body)

I hope you find this activity fun and helpfull. Please let me know how it worked for you.

Any plans for this sunday?

I guess you will be doing some snacks to share with your friends and watching the game. That's fun!!
I'm a little crazy/restless/hate routine, so I'm thinking up some new ways to spend the Superbowl sunday....

Hubbies and kids love to watch the game. So, I better don´t count on them for my wild plans (hehe). I bet some of you girls will be like me, so here is a list of things to do besides being the cook/clean lady:

*Go for a walk/run. The streets are going to be alone at that time. You have the entire country for yourself!!
*Call your girlfriends and make a party in a public place like a beach/park/mall. For the same reason above.

It's too cold ouside?

*Just stay in your PJs, get your computer and some snacks, and go to your room. Close the door! And just make a new Pinterest board called "Superbowl wishlist". You deserve everything in the world, and pinning is like buying without a budget.

*Well, maybe after so much pinning you will want real and big satisfaction ...... hmmmm .....well .... I now from a reliable source there will be a BIG sale this sunday in TpT. Hubbie won't see you come home with lots of bags, so, he will be happy too (LOL).

I would say please keep this between us, but I know you will want to share the secret with your friends, so feel free to do it.

Number Tiles is a FREE seven page resource containing four different math problem solving activities for the grades 5-8. The activities extend from addition and multiplication, to using the divisibility rules. Since the students do not write in the book, the pages can be copied and laminated so that they can be used from year to year. 
Students solve the Number Tile Math Activities by arranging ten number tiles, numbered 0-9. Each problem is given on a single page, and each activity varies in difficulty which is suitable for any diverse classroom. Since the students have the freedom to move the tiles around, they are more engaged and more willing to try multiple methods to find the solution. These activities are perfect for the visual and/or kinesthetic learner and can be used individually or at a math center.

Have fun with this resource and let me know how it worked on your classroom.

How to manage behavioral troubles with a freebie resource

"I absolutely LOVE my current position, as I can work with students 1-1 and really get to know them as individuals. With a lot of emphasis put on teaching to the test, I think it's important to teach from the heart, not the books. I enjoy creating and sharing my ideas with other teachers, as I am still just as passionate about teaching now as I was when I had my own classroom." She say.
