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!!!

Groundhog Freebie

I created this tree map & writing activity to help us record the information that we will learn tomorrow about groundhogs. I am keeping this post short because I am ready for bed! Click on the pic below to download :)

New Name & Look

I decided to change the name and look of my blog for two reasons...

#1- The old name wasn't catchy enough to remember

#2- I have seen at least 3 other blogs with the same template as I had before and I wanted it to be more unique

So, now I have a question for you...can you (my followers) still see my posts?

100 Days of School Freebie

Tomorrow is the 100th day of school for us. One of our many activities will be to make a Froot Loop necklace. I made this mat to help us count out 10 sets of 10. I will try to post some pics of the kiddos tomorrow!
