I am linking up with Christina from Bunting, Books, and Brainbridge to share my best and brightest moments blogging in 2012.
I am new...a baby at this. I still feel like a deer in the headlights but, I think my brightest moment was just that I was brave enough to start. I kind-of just jumped right in. Kristin from Teeny Tiny Teacher commented on my very first post. I nearly had a heart attack!
My best post was probably my most popular one, Thanksgiving Preview. I gave away a little emergent reader about a turkey that hides in different places. I was pretty proud of that.
The product I am the most proud of myself didn't get quite as much attention...Empathy. It was my very FIRST book. Proud because I did it, proud because I think it is a bit different from what everyone else was creating. This book is interactive in the sense that you talk about an emotion on one side of the page and have to think what you an do on the other and draw a picture. I made it to go with bullying lessons we were required to present in October. But I am thinking it would work really well when we talk about Martin Luther King, and it sadly went well with talking about grief.
My best DIY moment was my ABC magnets. I wrote about them in Learning the Alphabet Rocks.
My favorite post was all about glue....The Great Debate. My teaching partner and I have this running debate about glue and glue sticks. I got to share information I had gleaned from so many great teachers when writing this post. My mom even liked this one and she is an author.
My brightest moments have been whenever my blogging heroes have taken notice of me and my little blog. I can probably recount each one in great detail, always starting with me jumping up and down and generally acting like a silly school girl (not necessarily a pretty sight with a 56 year old woman).
Sometimes I talk too much...and this post is getting long. But I want to end with a shout out to blogging friends that have been so kind and friendly and helpful!
