This is a super fun tip... I could have used it back when I did my student teaching in 2nd grade!  It would have been perfect to go along with my lesson plans for the students animal research projects!  Anyhow... this week I'll be writing about how to make google search only specific websites!   If you want to know how to add that code to your blog, you can check out my previous tutorial here: You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture!

I absolutely love this little trick!  I'm not even joking when I say I use it at least three times a week!  Every time I make/buy a new center game, I use this trick to print the cover page smaller so that it will fit in a quart size ziploc bag.  And... I use it to make visuals slightly smaller so that they fit better on my walls!  It is definitely one of my favorite tricks! So... time to show you how to print anything at a smaller size! Before I go into the poll and the tutorial, do you see the ADORABLE product in my preview?  Well... it's fabulous and it's free from The Primary Gal !  She's relatively new to blogging and TPT so head over there and give her some love! Now, for the poll!  This was clearly the winner but the other options were definitely contenders! And of course, here's the tutorial!  Step 1 mentions that it's easiest to do this with a PDF, so if you're not sure how to make a PDF, be sure to check out my previous tutorial below! T...

In Ketchikan, we ...

First things first, let me say that I am writing this post specifically for my lovely friend Katie, who just started her own blog!  Katie - you're going to love this app! :) Katie teachers 3rd grade in the same school as me and she is absolutely fabulous !  I've considered changing grades just to be able to teach with her! lol!  She teaches 3rd grade and I teach Kindergarten... yet we can swap ideas easily and adapt them to our own grades.  And... she's great with technology, so you know she has my heart! LOL!  Be sure to check out her blog and follow her!  Now... for this week's technology tutorial, which I'm sure everyone is going to LOVE... how to organize your life with technology! This option was incredibly popular on the poll! Do you ever have that moment (of course, when you're in the shower or driving) where you say to yourself, "Oh I really have to remember to send that file to so-and-so." or "I need to remember to print that worksheet fo...

This option has been on the poll for a while and I am so excited to finally blog about it! I am SOOOO excited to write about this tutorial because I love to store my sentence strips (cut into words) inside laminated envelopes!  Be sure to check out my two previous posts to see how I did that!   Here are the results from the poll!  Now... onto the tutorial!   You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture!

I have about 50 options I'd like to add because they're all so great!  A while back (eek... almost a year ago!) someone had asked me "How can I get technology to work with me and not against me?!"  I really wondered how I could even write up a post about that, but I finally figured out how!  So... for next week's poll, I'm going to add "How to use technolog...
