One Extra Degree

212 degrees... Just One Extra Degree

It wasn't so long ago that I heard about One Extra Degree and was intrigued by it. My husband actually used the concept with his basketball team this year, having 212 degrees put on the back of their shooting jerseys.  Then, as I returned to work today, we were presented with the concept at our faculty meeting. The comparison between the boiling point of water and striving to be  someone that stands above the rest is an analogy that can really make you think.  It can help you to take a step back and look at yourself and ask, "What can I do to create that steam?"  If you don't know what I'm talking about, then watch this video.

So, with that said, it seems fitting that my newest Featured Teacher Blog is called One Extra Degree

and they are officially awarded the:

What the Teacher Wants

I would like to share my newest Featured Teacher blog..... What the Teacher Wants.  It's no surprise that this blog is growing like wild fire because they offer such fun and useful ideas for the classroom.  The two authors, Natalie and Rachelle, are teachers in Utah. They not only feature their own ideas, but like me, they feature creative ideas by other teachers.  Rachelle is making her way to the top of  Teachers Pay Teachers with some of her creative themed units, so all of you k-2 teaches, do check out her store by clicking here.  You can check out Natalie's store here. One example of a fun activity they recently showcased on their blog is a snow globe art project.  I am looking forward to doing this activity with my fourth graders when we return after the holiday break.  I will combine it with a writing activity, and they will love it. Check out their blog, as you are sure to become a follower.
