New Blog Design!! :)

Special thanks to Alicia at Dreamlike Magic for my new blog look! I loved my blog with the cute monkey, but it was confusing with too many other blogs using the same design. I love my new blog look! :)

My kindergarten schedule on the wall - it works! :)

I have tried many ways to display my schedule in my kindergarten classroom. Finally, a way that works for me and my kindergarten kids! My schedule cards are big and my kids can follow by the numbers and colors. Words and even pictures do not work so early in the year. I have some special friends that need to stay on track and now waiting for lunch (#5), recess(#10)... is not so hard! :) I borrowed this idea from a kindergarten teacher down the hall - and adjusted it for my schedule! So happy - it works!!

A Wonderful New Blog!

I love this new blog - Little Miss Hypothesis! It is all about exploring science with kindergarten kids - something I love!! :)

WOW! A Blogger Award!! My Heart Is Full!! :)

Pam at Can Do Kinders has nominated my blog for an award! So excited and so honored!! :) This has made my day, week, month... After a long week of teaching, planning, cleaning, fixing/selling dinners for the Cheer Team, football games, homework, teenagers and 5 year olds - this was unexpected surprise!! Blogging is new to me, but I love it! Where else could you  find so many wonderful ideas, share your own ideas, read about good days, bad days, frustrations, what works... with other teachers that have the same passion for kids and teaching! Thank you Pam!! :)

Check out Pam's wonderful site - her ideas are great!!

Kindergarten Journals and "Mr. Spaceman"

Kindergarten Journals and "Mr. Spaceman"

My kids love to use "Mr. Spaceman" spacers (from Really Good Stuff) when they write in their journals. I was so tired of picking them up off the floor... and I really wanted each child to have their own. The one thing I do not like for them to share! Last year I came up with the idea to velcro the spacers to the front of the journals. It works so well - no lost Spacemen!! :)
