Challenge #...In the Books!

It's only the 2nd teacher work day and  I've done more work than I have all year I've been really productive! My classroom is all clean, I've painted some classroom furniture, I met and tested some of the new Kindergartner  and I'm already done with Challenge #2! Go Me!

So now, that I've tooted my own horn let me share with you some awesome teachers/blogs within this DPS Challenge that I am now following.

• Anna Larson
• Shamita Johnson
• Julie Potenziani
• Laura Fogle
• Kate MacDonell
• Joann McAdon

I even commented on a few! 

• tech4teaching: Your Top Ten Tech Educators
• Edu-Kate: Twitter, Tweeting, and bears - oh my!
• Bananner's Tech Challenge: DPS Tech Challenge

I also have found some fabulous teaching blogs that I love to get inspiration from once in a while. Prior to Challenge #2 I always just bookmarked them and had to go searching. Duh...Caitlin, subscribe to them and life will be easier!

• Little Literacy Learners
• First Grade Factory
• First Grader...at Last!

On a personal note, I am also addicted to home improvement/craft blogs. If I wasn't a teacher, I'd be a home organizer/interior designer. So, my daily "unwind" routine is to come home, walk the dog, sit down on the couch and search through my favorite blogs. Now I don't have to do the searching! YAY!

• Young House Love
• Bower Power
• IKEA Hackers

It's not a blog but I also include Pinterest in my daily routine. (If you haven't joined Pinterest you're missing out! Need an invite? Let me know.)
