5 Items You Need to Complete Your Home

July 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

As many of you know Fred and I have spent the last month getting adjusted to our new home in California. When we were back in Boston we bought a majority of our large furniture and now I’m working on the smaller decor items. As most millennials, I’ve been obsessed with the white/marble/gold theme. These were my favorite and budget friendly decor items. 

  1. Full Size Gold Mirror : I originally had my eye on this Metal Frame 72” Mirror from West Elm but it was way outside of my price range. After reading reviews and price checking I found a dupe mirror (that’s a little smaller) from Lowes. Still waiting for it to arrive so will let you know how it is once I get it. 
  1. Gold And Glass Honeycomb Wall Shelf : This item was honestly a HUGE splurge. I originally looked at these Modern Wooden Shelves from Kate and Laurel but for a similar price these looked so much cuter.  I ordered them 15% off with curbside pickup and got an extra 10% off with a code so it came out to be $59 after tax. Will update on my thoughts after I pick it up. 
  1. Modern Round Side Coffee Table: My sister bought these last year for her apartment and used them as bedside tables. These are SO cute and are super easy to assemble/disassemble for moves. 
  1. Standing Bright Light: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lamp. It is so easy on the eyes and is activated through touch and has three brightness levels. This doubled for me as a ring light when I was on zoom calls for more flattering lighting. 
  1. Magnetic Monthly Calendar: This calendar is currently my lifesaver. I use it to help me keep track of the summer dates because they just seem to fly by!  

Let me know below what some of your favorite household furniture items are! If you try out any of these in your own space I’d love to see it! 

If you made it this far, here’s a small freebie for you! I’ve been using this printable July calendar to jot down my daily goals to stay productive. Enjoy!

It’s been a while but I pulled Whiteboard.fi bac It’s been a while but I pulled Whiteboard.fi back out today! Yesterday during my induction meeting, a teacher shared that they’ve been using it with students then had students submit the downloaded images through Canvas. I had to try it! We got went through fewer examples than I anticipated but that was okay because it was a lot of teaching procedures Click the flag below this picture to reference for later.

Procedures I explicitly taught today:

Whiteboard.fi: 1.) There is no submit button. Everything students put on their end automatically show up on mine. 2.) On the student’s screen there is a toggle teacher board button. This will allow students to see my work. Aka they will only need to stay on one screen. 3.) The button next to the red trash can with the downward arrow is your download button. Save the slide as a PNG.

Canvas: I decided to make the assignment a text upload so that student can submit multiple images and I can quickly check them in speedgrader. I taught students to click the box with the sun and mountain, click the rocketship, go to downloads and insert the image you saved. It will be labeled as drawing.png. 

Swipe to see the screens I had up during the lessons. When I explicitly taught the procedures I alternated between sharing screen of the teacher and student view.

Let me know below what your favorite practice platform is in online learning!
I love the chat function in zoom. It feels super l I love the chat function in zoom. It feels super low risk and is a quick way for me to assess how my students are doing. Something I’ve been trying to add into my virtual teacher toolbox is this phrase here. In one of my class they send EVERYTHING to me privately and when I ask for the answers it is *crickets*. When I started to say, “Send me, ‘I don’t know’ if you’re looking at this problem and you literally have no idea what it’s asking...” I was able to get more engagement to hook them in for a quick reteach and then reassess.

What is your favorite part of the chat function?
