214 Oh My!

214...yes 214 blog posts to catch up on just from 4 days of traveling!  Oh my word...I have been reading everyone's posts for a couple days to catch up.  It was a bit overwhelming.  I found out that Tammy@ Forever in First gave a shout out to our "Read My Shirt" day.  She made an adorable class book, you can check it out here.  Also, a few of you wonderful bloggy friends want to use my blog button, but apparently it doesn't work.  Trial and error is my computer friend, so I will work on getting it functioning.  If any of you know of a good "blog button" tutorial or are an expert already, please send advice my way:-)

Happy Tuesday,
 

Bloggy Trial and Error and Reading Freebie

So my goal today was to make a blog button and figure out how to leave a link back to my blog with my comments.  Kristen Ladybug's Teacher Files is amazing!  She explains so explicitly how to do things, that while it took me a few tries I managed to successfully (as far as I can tell) create a button and leave a link with my comments.

Then I learned how to upload a document.  For a reading conference sheet, click here. I switch back and forth between reading groups and individual reading conferences.   I use document to as a guide for discussing books with students.  I often use the notes part of the sheet for brief running records.

Hopefully, now that I am "undrafting" this, all of these cool things will successfully work! Also, I have almost made it to 50 followers!  Are you going to be the magic 50?!
