Now soaring in Kindergarten
Today was my first day and I am EXHAUSTED! But, on a positive note, I love my class and think it is going to be a fantastic year! I have a freebie for you! I always try to give my team and friends at school a little something at the beginning of the year. I came up with this with the adorable clipart from
Was it just me? Or was Chapter 6 a monster of a chapter!? There is no way I could delve into the depths of all the information shared in this chapter in one blog post. But what I can do is share with you some of the notes I made and key points I feel are worth talking about. Hope that works for you!
I am linking up with First Grade Parade to share with you a freebie I created back in 2011, perfect as we gear up to start another school year!

They got to draw the face and guess how many spots the leopard has. Get your freebie here In case you’d like to get your copy: I also found a great version retold by Danny Glover that
Mother’s Day when I am in first grade involves our Mother’s Day Tea and a lot of crafts and fun… but this year, it was sort of exciting to have the freedom to try something new. ***** I went to Dollar Tree and purchased picture frames. I gave my kids a skin colored circle, and they got to choose pieces of construction paper to re-create
I was out for the two days prior to Spring Break for a trip to Disney World. My two youngest kids had never been, so who could say no? Anyway, I was thinking about a fun activity for my substitiute to do while I was out. I have seen other teachers do similar activities and just knew my kids would love it. Some of the
Aliens Love Underpants is just the cutest book ever! We are working on the letter Uu and this was the perfect book to excite my kids about this week’s skill! They couldn’t stop laughing!
