First week of school

Today we started week 2!  I really have to brag about my AMAZING Kinders!  Last week they all came in each day very excited and ready to go!  They worked so hard at learning the classroom rules and behavior plan.  It really showed today!  Wow!  They are doing GREAT!  

Last week we had B.E.A.R time each day after lunch.  The class did great each day getting books and looking through them.  Here are a couple of the photos I took!  It was kinda dark in there so the pictures are not the best.  We are already building that reading stamina! 

Last week we read the books The Kissing Hand and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  The kids loved them.  Chester the raccoon ran off one day so we had to explore the building looking for him.  Chester finally ended up in our room and left us some Hershey's Kisses!   We also made some cute coconut trees!  I will post photos of their trees soon!  

This week will be busy with starting week 1 in our reading curriculum and learning about shapes and sorting in Math.  We will also be learning about centers and Math Tubs!  I can't wait to start them!

We are off to an AMAZING start!!

Classroom Photos

Here are some photos of my classroom.  I took these the day before our Meet Your Teacher Night.  So I have some tubs set on the tables for supplies.  I changed a lot in my room over the summer.  I took out my desk to allow more room for our whole group area. I will be doing more interactive activities on the promethean board this year and wanted to give us more space.  I am so happy with how everything turned out!

Summer 2014

Wow!  This summer has been a blast!  I have been so busy!  My summer has been filled with vacations, family times, painting projects at home, 3 education workshops, creating a blog, creating a TpT store, creating new products, and working on my classroom.  Wow!  Did I miss anything?  

It went fast, but boy do I feel accomplished!  That is a very good feeling.  Here are some pictures from my Pinterest class.  I got to pin things on my boards and make items I had pinned!  How fun is that?  I created new things for my classroom.  I can't wait to use them!!

This summer was also filled with 2 vacations.  First we went to Missouri.  We had a great time at Silver Dollar City and Table Rock Lake.  We also went to Eureka Springs, AR.  What a nice week relaxing with the family.  In July we went to Ohio to visit family and go to Cedar Point.  We had a blast!!  I conquered my fear and went on the Top Thrill Dragster!!  I did it!!  It was AWESOME!

Now I am busy getting ready for my new 23 amazing Kinders!  I can't wait to meet them.  We have Meet Your Teacher Night Thursday, August 7th. 

My next post will be all about my room!  I changed a lot in my room this summer!  I can't wait to take some photos and post about it!!  Posting soon!
