I have a blog that is for fun and I discuss some of my school projects in them, but I wanted to have one just for teaching. I am an Interrelated Resource Teacher (Special Education) in DeKalb County, GA. I work for a Title One Focus School. This August, I will be starting my 2nd full year. I started teaching in January 2013. I started out in 1st grade for the first 6 months. The 2013-2014 school year, I was in 2nd grade. I teach resource and I also co-teach. For the 2014-2015 school year, I am working in 2nd grade and then I will also be working with 3rd and 5th grade. I look forward to this year and starting a new school year.
In other news, my summer project since I have been out from teaching summer school, I have been wanting to organize my classroom library. The hardest thing about this is that I have the books and then figuring out the leveling. I have been using a website called Booksource. The website is classroom.booksource.com. The website lets you type in books by ISBN or title. You can also scan them in. Then you list the AR Level, AR Points, Lexile Level, and Guided Reading Level. At my school we use AR Points. I found a sheet that has the Fountas and Pinnell levels and compares the AR points all the way across. I am making labels to put inside my books without me writing it. In addition to the book labels with just my name, I have made label with the Guided Reading Level, AR Level, AR Points, and Lexile Level. The labels have an animal on them so they know what bin to put the book back into. Since I am a resource teacher, I don't have the jobs like all the general education teachers have.
Below is what my labels for my book look like.
Here are what the labels look like for each book:
That is what I am working on for the month of July! If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know! Also, please follow because I LOVE looking at other teacher blogs!
Until Next Time!
