So I've never been especially good at keeping up with blogging or even my personal journal. It is not my New Year's Resolution to keep up with my blogging, but I'm going to try to be more frequent when I have something fun to write up.
On the upside, this year has included getting engaged, getting a house, getting a puppy, and finally getting married!
You may notice that those are all really exciting personal things. However, in terms of work, this has been the craziest and most difficult year. New administration, new team and new grade level -- and I'm the team leader! My class is also one of the most challenging I've had in terms of personalities -- they are each individually very sweet second graders but all together...oy.
So over break, I was looking for new ways to keep my kids positive and work on the classroom environment. I fell in love with the concept of Brag Tags. I discovered a collection from the TPT store Fun in 5th Grade that were perfect for what I needed. I just needed to figure out how to make my own to fill on some gaps including - no surprise - pencils.
Pencil Perfect Brag Tags!
