From my Daddy

My Daddy is a great woodworker. This year, he made me a podium for my classroom. I don't use it too much to stand behind in kindergarten. It makes for great storage for my weekly lesson bins. He painted the front with chalkboard paint. This is great for me as I have to post my standards we are working on in the lesson plans. I can post them on the podium and the kids can see them.

Dinosaur School!

My district uses Incredible Years - Dinosaur School to teach about behavior and doing your best in school. This has helped my kinders as far as behavior. It also goes well with the Getting Along Together portion of SFA (Success for All) that is our reading program. I have dark skinned Wally and Molly puppets so I have named them Alfonso and Monique. My aide plays Alfonso while I do Monique and Dina. The kids love when the puppets come to visit.

100th Day of School!

We had so much fun this last week as we celebrated the 100th day of school. I started the day by fixing a very special 100 breakfast of sausage and pancakes. The lunch lady was wonderful in providing milk and fruit to round out our breakfast. My students were to bring in baggies of 100 items for our 100 museum. We also made posters with 100 drawings on them and did 100 exercises. It was a fun day. My aide provided the kids with 100 Day certificates, pencils, and stickers!
