Monthly Theme Bookmarks & a FREEBIE


I am finally getting around to adding some things to my TPT store! Click on the pic above to grab a copy of my thematic bookmarks. I give these to my students to use during Writer's Workshop. I have included the December bookmark as a freebie. Just go to my TPT store and click on "Download Preview" to get it for yourself!

Polka Dot Hardware Organizer

Here is a picture of my new hardware organizer. I love it! I created the polka dot labels to go along with my new classroom theme - polka dots! You can download them here from my TPT store. I'll upload more pics of the classroom later this week :)

Currently

I am linking up with Farley's Currently...



I can't believe that it is already April! I have been enjoying Spring Break for the past 5 days and they have been glorious! The weather here in Georgia has been fantastic and I have been able to get so much work done outside. I just bought some Crepe Myrtles and planted them alongside the driveway and started planting a flower bed which I am going to turn into a butterfly garden. This is my favorite time of year when I can get out and work in my yard. Does anyone else share my hobby?

Aren't We Lucky!

Here's a picture of our classroom door. Isn't he cute?



We have been discussing all the reasons we are so lucky. I was inspired by Fran over at Kindergarten Crayons. If you haven't already you should go check out her emergent reader called I Am So Lucky. My kiddos have really enjoyed making and reading this book during literacy stations this week. I read the teacher version last week and on Friday we completed the sentence stem "I am lucky because..."

Wednesday Woes

I wanted to post to let all of my fabulous followers know that I am still alive and breathing. I am just a little too busy for blogging at the moment. Here are some things that are keeping me from blogging:

1. I am the yearbook editor. The yearbook is due this coming Monday. This wouldn't be so bad, but I have blog stalked procrastinated and the deadline came up way too fast.

2. Our secretary is moving to Texas and my right hand parapro is being pulled to cover the office for an unknown amount of time (at least a week) until our new secretary gets here. I am at least lucky enough to get a sub during the time my parapro is in the office, but it's just not the same! Boo-hoo. How do you kinder teachers do it without a parapro?

3. IEPs - enough said.

4. SSTs - enough said.

5. Spoiler Alert: This one is not work related. My husband and I recently built our first house and we are trying to prep the yard for grass. By ourselves. This would not be so difficult if the yard was not full of rocks and roots and rotting wood!!!
