Hello!
My EDU560 teacher wants us to have a twitter account. I NEVER thought I would get one, but it seems to be a useful resource to get teacher information. I am following a PBS show called Betsy's Kindergarten (https://twitter.com/BKAdventures). Her Facebook link is also posted (http://goo.gl/CTW2U) in case anyone is interested. I was able to use something taught in class! A URL shortener! WOO!!! :) Anyways, Betsy is a show created by Betsy Quinn and it is told from the perspective of a five year old named Betsy. The show is supposed to ease a child's transition from a home setting to a school environment. It also aids in addressing typical five year old concerns such as uncertainty, educates children in learning new things and the joy of making new friends at school.
The website posts upcoming events, awards, and new products that have come out for parents or teachers to purchase.
In the future I hope to teach Kindergarten so it is nice to read useful resources that I can use some day in my own classroom. This website has recipes, motivating quotes, events, creative projects, and lots of other cool stuff! Since Betsy has several DVDs out, I can purchase the DVDs for my students to watch on movie day for a learning experience.

YUMMY!!! Gets me in the Halloween spirit! :)
Just an FYI, my Twitter account is www.twitter.com/lmarzec19! Tweet me :D
Betsy's Kindergarten looks like a great resource. Funny that the show even has its own Facebook page. Not sure if this is a positive or negative: is it designed to be seen by a child or an adult?
ReplyDeleteAlso, could you please post a link to your Twitter feed Lisa? Thanks.
The facebook page is designed for adults. I "liked" it and on my newsfeed I am getting inspiration quotes and insights on how to start a school day for children. I enjoy it. They post cute pictures too. :) I posted the link for you. Can't wait to hear about your trip!
