New Blog

I decided I want to update my blog before school starts this year.  My good friend is helping me design it and come up with a new name... but I need your help!  I want to change it to a more creative/universal name.  Meaning I can teach whatever grade with it, or change my last name without having to change my blog title.  I also want to make sure that none of the titles are already taken.  So please help me out by voting for your favorite title (to the right), or leaving a comment with a better idea.  Also, please let me know if you have seen a blog with any of these titles.  And if you have a great idea for a title that I don't have, please leave a comment to suggest it!  You never know, if I pick your suggestion, you just might win a secret surprise!  :)

Thanks!

The Sharpened Pencil
The Hoppy Place (I usually do a frog theme.  The only problem with this one is that I would have to change it if I ever changed my theme...)
Lessons from the Playground
Raise Your Hand... if you love first grade!
The Crayon Box
The Teacher Lady

    I really like The Sharpened Pencil - you could even take it further and do something like "Bouquets of Sharpened Pencils - My life as a Teacher"

    My FAVORITE is for sure:

    The Sharpened Pencil

    I'm trying to think of a tagline to go with it...

    "sharpening minds one pencil at a time! :) hahaha

    I love that you are having a vote and after seeing the results, some (super-ridiculously-cheesy) puns popped into my head...I figured I'd share...

    The Sharpest Pencil in the Class
    The Sharpest Pencil in the Box
    The Hoppiest Place I Know
    The Hoppiest Place in the School/World

    Good luck and have fun!

    Thanks, Ms M. There's been a lot of idea stealing going around blog land, and I don't want to be involved in it! :)

    Beg, borrow, & steal! That was the first thing they taught us about teaching Janae!! Maybe that should be my teaching blog name... Anyway I like all of them but I think that Ms.V The Magnificent has a nice ring to it. You inspire me =)

    I like the lessons from the playground title, but your blog shows much more from the classroom. I always vote for a description of what you hope to convey as opposed to a cute title.

    Good luck,

    Scissors, glue and everything cool!

    Or


    Pencils, glue, and everything cool!

    I also like The Sharpened Pencil (because we all have our dull days & need a little help!) or Lessons from the Playground (because the best lessons are fun!). Good luck! :)

    How about Raise Your Hand...if you love teaching! That would not be grade specific and it would welcome all teachers. And we all love teaching!

    Best wishes as you revamp your site.
