https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09 Name a book, twitter handle, person who you have gotten a new idea from this year. en-us 2017-10-16 00:11:02 UTC 2025-11-16 04:47:21 UTC hello@padlet.com burrsatotha https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197181304 I downloaded the book Kids Deserve It! by Todd Nesloney and Adam Welcome on my kindle app.  They gave me the idea for riding the bus early in the morning and to call teachers and staff's family members.

I got the idea from a teacher I follow on Instagram. The students keep asking when we are going to play again.]]> 2017-10-16 00:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197181868 lundstrumelizabeth https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197182101 I've tapped into my teacher- friend network as well as parents to get ideas for my new class. 
I subscribe to several early childhood sites to learn about center- based learning.

But, most of my ideas come from conversations I have with my second grade team members. We bounce ideas off of one another and a great idea usually is the result! In addition, I tend to have a lot of "aha moments" while teaching and seeing the expressions on the faces of the kiddos in my class! ]]> 2017-10-16 00:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197184387 https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197185046 Our team brainstorms and ends up with some fun stuff.  Kacie and Jodie are sharing workshop ideas too.

I find Twitter to be very helpful, and @MASL is a great resource for new librarians. Pinterest is always helpful and a new website I have found this year is elementarylibrarian.com. With all that being said I have to say the most inspiring things I have seen this year have been right here in our building. Such fabulous ideas! ]]> 2017-10-16 13:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197320863 bucknerkendra https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197322070 I look on pinterest a lot.

There are a ton of great ideas on there. I also use social media, such as Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram to find ideas. Our own teachers here at Carver are full of amazing ideas and they are always inspiring me to be better and do better! ]]> 2017-10-16 13:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197340536 https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197356203 I'm thankful for the Seesaw group on FB. There are so many great ideas shared and that's an area I want to improve on in my classroom. I find that just by following a few of the teachers at RCA on Twitter, I'm able to see ideas from several teachers. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197356203 https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197471751 Our team starts with ideas that we have found on Facebook teachers that we all follow as well as Pinterest. We then take those ideas and talk about how to make them better. I enjoy looking at the RCA app. We use a very valuable resource that Michelle shared with us last year that helps us with great ideas as well. My most valuable resource is my creative team for sure! ]]> 2017-10-16 17:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/n4tfz9mh8f09/wish/197471751
