This time of year is such a special time, but it is also such a busy time of year. I hope each of you know how amazingly blessed Coker Elementary is because you are here. I wish I had the money to send you all somewhere fabulous over the break with all the sand and sun and fun you could stand! BUT I haven't won the lottery yet, dang it! So instead, I have some free teacher goodies for you to peruse and enjoy. I missed getting started with the 12 days of Christmas this year, but instead, I've packed you a Santa Bag full of goodies this year!!

Coker Elementary Teachers dance to Watch Me! by Silento during pre-planning 2015.
OH MY GOODNESS! So much snow last week! Hope everyone had fun playing in it! And now, it's back to school and it's catch up time. We are in the straight-away, the home stretch, the final lap before our new assessment in April. I wanted to remind you a few resources you have available to you! READING COUNTS: Please have your students reading and taking quizzes for Reading Counts! Mrs. Hensley has our bears going up in the media center and it is looking great, but we need everyone reading! Students can take quizzes at various times during the day: after breakfast, intervention, media center time, lab time, etc. The link for taking a quiz is on the Coker Website! Remember: this link only works at Coker, so students cannot test at home. https://h100000897.education.scholastic.com/slms/studentaccess GOFAR - GOFAR is the Georgia Online Formative Assessment Resource! It is located as a tab in SLDS and is very easy to navigate and super user friendly. You can create tests and have students take those tests online. The items are OAS items that offer links to print the rubrics and exemplars when you build the test. Please get on GOFAR within the next week and "play around" with it. ONLINE TEST FORMAT: Wanna see what the test will look like online? Or see what tools will be available to students? A practice site has been set up just for showing how an online test will be formatted. http://learnoas.ctb.com/GA/ This is NOT a link for students necessarily, but one you may find informative as we move toward online testing for all. NEARPOD - please don't forget to do your Thinking Maps review on Nearpod, if you haven't already. Yes, you had homework! Haha www.nearpod.com Then use the PIN: FRPKN That's it for today! Hope you all are having a great week back! Below is a little humor to get your March started of right... Linda, Honey, Listen...

It's a crazy day! It's a busy season! Sometimes you just need a few minutes to get things done. Whether at home with your own kids, or at school with our Coker Cubs, here are some things to keep kids busy & give them a brain break and they will let you take a break as well! (And these would also be great activities for POWER UP time!) As with ALL YouTube videos you show in class, you should preview these before you show them to verify link is correct and still appropriate.
