Welcome to The Reading Planet blog.  I am so proud to launch my very first blog!  I have been star-struck for years by all the amazing teacher blogs out there and I decided there is no reason in the world I can’t blog too.  As part of this amazing community of planetary readers, I invite you to visit often and to share your own classroom successes and experiences! 
 
I am a second grade teacher in Texas.  I have been teaching for 19 years and I have been fortunate enough to teach grades kindergarten through second grade self-contained and kindergarten through sixth grade as a Reading Specialist.  Even though I have been teaching for a while now, I still get excited about teaching.  If you’re like me, your head is always swimming with ideas galore.  So come back to visit my blog often to see what new stuff I am sharing.
This past year I tried out some parts of the Whole Brain Teaching method.  I implemented the Class Yes, Mirror, and Teach Ok.  I loved these techniques so much that this year I plan on adopting the full program.  You’ll have to check back with my blog to see how things are going, but for now I thought I would share the classroom signs I created for this year.  Just click on the picture below and follow the link to my Teachers Pay Teachers account to download this freebie!

As you can tell, my theme this year is going to be Rock STARS!  I think the kids are going to love it. 

Thank you for visiting my blog.  Please provide me with feedback.  I am still learning how to be a blogger.
