<h2>
Baby's First Day at Summer School!!</h2>
<div>
After having Ivory, my amazing Administrators and Pastors agreed to reopen the nursery at our school upon my return. This was such a blessing! If I ever had any concern about Ivory or just wanted to love on her, all I had to do was go downstairs and give her hugs and kisses. This made going back to work a much easier transition. And I knew summer was right around the corner and I would be able to love on my baby girl all day long!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, now summer is almost over! There are only a few more weeks before it's time for teachers to head back to work, and if you glanced at my <a href="https://kinderlovingkare.blogspot.com/2019/07/my-summer-bucket-list-if-youre-anything.html" target="_blank">Summer Bucket List</a> you know I've got some work to do. My sweet hubby recommended we use one of the backup daycare incentives that his job offers so that I can get some work done. I was very hesitant at first, but after touring the daycare I was thoroughly impressed and decided I felt comfortable with her attending that school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As we got closer and closer to the date, I began to get really nervous! I had second thoughts. I began to feel like a horrible mommy. I decided I was going to work at home with baby girl, but every time I tried, I barely got any work done. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, after much prayer, I decided it would benefit both of us. Ivory will be getting the social interaction she needs from other babies and I will be able to complete some much needed work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first day I dropped off Ivory, I came bearing gifts. I mean....I get it. My first job was at a daycare. I am sure it can be a little unnerving for the teachers to all of sudden have a new infant in their care that they don't know much about. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My thoughts were that this little gift will show my appreciation (in advance) for the care and love I prayed for them to shower my baby girl with.</div>

My Summer Bucket List!!</h2>
<div>
If you're anything like me, you make a to-do list for EVERYTHING! (Honestly, it's so bad, my husband thinks it's my favorite hobby). And if you're a lot like me, there is a great possibility that you overestimate the amount of things you can accomplish within a 24 hour period. Yep folks, that's me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I end up feeling like this most days:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="So much to do, so few people to do it for me. Remind you of anyone?" height="140" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/df/46/5a/df465a17b9366db40c16a92481d2da05.jpg" width="200" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">But does that stop me? Absolutely not! So I continue making my unrealistic to do list until one magical day they become a bit more realistic. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...with that being said, my summer bucket list is of no exception!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since we're already half way through the summer, some of these items have been checked off already. However it's still a pretty extensive list, so whatever I don't complete this summer will most likely carry on through the school year.</div>

Yes, it's been over a year since I've posted. Like I said, it's a long story. The short version...I had a very rough pregnancy, but I didn't log on to give you the short version 😉. So here goes...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My pregnancy was the most difficult journey I have ever taken. It was my very first pregnancy and I honestly thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect...Boy was I wrong! I ended up missing 2 1/2 months of work before taking maternity leave due to sickness. A fraction of that time was spent in the hospital. Folks, I could physically do nothing at all! The only thing my body could do was serve as an incubator for my precious baby girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although this journey was the most challenging, it truly allowed me to see God's provision, love, and grace within my life. I consider myself a very independent, orderly person but my dear husband and mother had to take care of me on a daily basis during my pregnancy. I was truly, truly humbled. My administrators and coworkers helped keep me covered and protected my teaching position. My friends poured all kinds of love and encouragement into my heart. I also received many prayers from my friends and family. However, one of the things that truly helped strengthen me and change my perspective throughout this entire process was this book:</div>

I bought this book as a Kindle download because I was desperate to read it. I also bought the audio version and played it every morning. I recommend this book to any woman wanting to have children or currently pregnant. Believe me..it will bless your socks off! </div>

I did eventually go back to work after my maternity leave. I was welcomed back by a very sweet group of kids. We had a great time finishing out the school year together. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a media waiver signed, so I'm not able to post pictures of the class 😞. However, I have a tun of fun planned for this upcoming school year and I will definitely make sure I share our activities!</div>

New Room, New Theme!</h2>
<div>
While teaching summer VPK I realized why teachers get a summer break; and quite frankly, its because We.....NEED....a....BREAK! Now don't get me wrong, I truly, truly enjoyed working with my wonderful preschoolers; after all that is where I started. However, as summer break quickly came to an end, it brought with it the start of a new school year. So, that was my life in a nut shell during summer break....Work Work Work Work Work!!!! <br />
<br />
As you can imagine, I said plenty of prayers about the upcoming school year. I prayed for a peaceful school year, with a great group of kids and parents. I even prayed for the year to go by with great finesse and ease......and that's when I got THE CALL FROM THE PRINCIPAL. Before I go on any further, I am sure their are some teachers out there who dread getting THE CALL, especially one week prior to teacher pre planning. This call can mean several things: 1) You have been moved to another grade level. 2) You have been moved to another classroom. 3) You have been moved to another classroom and another grade level. 4) You have been transferred to another school. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to answer the phone right away. So I was left with a message asking if I could stop by the school for a "talk" before I begin to work in my classroom. Come on teachers...."a talk." I was pretty confident I wasn't being transferred, but something told me I just may end up switching rooms. Now, this something came from the fact that I pretty much had my classroom set up the way I wanted and had just added some majorly cool bulletin boards to the walls. Well, I did have to switch classrooms, but get this! I was asked to move into a smaller classroom because I only had 7 kids this year! I don't think you heard me...<b>7 kids</b>!!! I had more kids in my summer VPK program! Needless to say, I so graciously and gratefully complied. I truly believe my prayers were answered. Although I had to do some moving around. I would take that deal any day!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, let me share some before and after pictures!<br />

Summer VPK Centers</h3>
<div>
We have had so much fun in our classroom so far this summer! I am so proud of these future kinders. I can already tell they have come a long way! Here are a few of the centers we have implemented so far.</div>

<h4>
Play-Dough Center</h4>
<div>
I love introducing play-dough centers to my students in the beginning of the school year. We use play-dough to practice our name, letters, sight words, word walls, etc. We had a blast leaning how to form our letters out of play-dough! Check it out!</div>

Letter and Sound Centers</h4>
<div>
We have been practicing our letters and sounds every day. This game is similar to a memory game in which students have to match the letter with the picture that begins with that sound. It was all apart of our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom center. I think they enjoyed it! We are also creating our own alphabet wall with the letters we make during arts and crafts!</div>

Summer Plans!!</h2>
<div>
I will be teaching summer VPK this year and I am very excited!!! Here's why:<br />
<br />
1. VPK is where it all started for me! My very first blog was about my experience teaching summer VPK. Check it out <a href="http://kinderlovingkare.blogspot.com/2013/06/well-we-are-almost-at-end-of-first-week.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
2. I have so many ideas of different things I want to implement next year in kindergarten. I plan on practicing with my VPK students.<br />
<br />
I am pretty sure we will have an awesome summer! I met my students and parents on Wednesday and although many of my students are just finishing up their full year VPK program, they all seemed pretty excited about starting school all over again!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a before picture of the VPK classroom:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This view is from the entrance.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This view is from the opposite end.</div>
<br />
I paced back and forth for about 45 minutes before I came up with a floor plan that was comfortable for me. Good thing I'm changing my kindergarten classroom theme to black & brights this year. I plan on using my old birdie theme decorations to set up this classroom! <br />

Our Garden and Graduation</h2>
<h4>
Graduation</h4>
<div>
This year I decided to have a "Moving on Ceremony" along side our VPK's graduation. Well, the only dilemma was that we had to wait one whole week after school in order to have our graduation ceremony with VPK. Needless to say, I prayed a lot during that week that my kinders would be ready for the ceremony and remember all of their lines. Well, they did an excellent job! I am so proud of them! </div>

They all look so cute and serious. They are watching VPK perform. Sorry, I couldn't include any images of VPK, I don't have any media release clearance with them. They were oh so cute! You're just going to have to trust me. </div>

Our Garden</h4>
<div>
Our garden actually has a funny story that goes along with it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always wanted to start a garden, however, everything I have tried to grow in the past has died. So, I knew it would be a big risk trying to start one with my class. I asked just about every teacher in the school if they had a green thumb. Unfortunately, no one really claimed to have one. I finally, received help from Ms. Rob, the middle/high science teacher. So both of our classes went outside and filled huge pots with seeds and soil and spoke life into it and commanded it to grow. Well, two days later, we find our pots dumped out! We were a little sad of course, but then Mr. Ted, our school/church's head of security, came and told us he did it! It was clearly an accident, but it must have been a God wink because Mr. Ted knows all about gardens! He proceeded to give us everything we needed to start our own garden. We planted cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and basil. He even built a garden bed for us! </div>

End of Year Update</h2>
<div>
I just so happen to go through my classroom pictures and realized that I haven't shared over half of our awesome kinder moments. I have had an amazing school year! I was truly blessed with such an awesome group of students and parents! I will truly miss them! Here is a little slide show I put together to share those amazing moments.<br />

Birthday Surprise</h4>
<div>
One of our students decided to celebrate their birthday with the class and guess who showed up! Let me just say, I had parents that were excellent event planners. When ever I talked about having any kind of celebration or party for the classroom, they went well beyond my expectations! So, this birthday boy had a Paw Patrol party. Just imagine the faces on all the kids who happened to see him walk through the hallway....PRICELESS! He even did the Tooty-Ta dance with us!</div>

Students had to build a tower out of 100 cups. This was my first year introducing a center like this and my kinders loved it! I was a bit surprised, but sometimes the simplest things can be the most entertaining. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">This was just a small glimpse into our classroom that day. We actually completed so many activities (write the room, count to 100 puzzle, writing to 100, etc.), I just wasn't able to capture it all.</span></div>

Paper Bag Biography</h4>
<div>
So, I can't take the credit for this idea. I actually <strike>stole</strike> borrowed it from a fellow teacher. For Black History Month each student was assigned an African American historical figure that has positively impacted our country. My kinders had to study their assigned person and gather factual information about them. They also had to include four objects that represented their person. Let me just say....those students blew me away with their awesome presentations! </div>

On St. Patrick's Day we learned a little about the legend of St. Patrick. We also talked a little bit about leprechauns ;) and discovered that one must have come into our classroom and turned it all topsy turvy! Lets see if you can find out what's wrong with this picture.</div>

I think they enjoyed it! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will take a moment to reflect on this day...This year was my first time celebrating St. Patrick's Day, so I tried to make it as fun and cute as I could, especially since I invited the VPK class to join us. However, next year it will be fun, cute, and soaked in educational experiences. Next year, I will create clues to help students Draw Conclusions as to where their treasure may be hiding. I will also, make sure we incorporate the study of matter with our slime activity. My mind is still reeling on the activities for this day, but I think we can make it just as fun and educational next year. Expect an update soon!</div>

Fun, Fun, Fun!</h3>
<div>
We all seem to retain a little more information when we are having fun! That is why I have decided to incorporate Fun Day Fridays throughout the school year. Now, I will be honest, I was a little skeptical at first. I thought that dedicating one day to fun would have a detrimental affect on my student's academic performance. I am very happy to admit that I was wrong! I must admit that all of our Fun Day Fridays are very strategic. Fridays are also test days for us, and therefore, requires a review. I make sure all of our reviews are fun, energetic, and kinesthetic. To top it off, we end the day with a special treat!</div>
<div>

Here is a little glimpse into our classroom themes!</div>

During our color theme we reviewed all of the colors and color words. Here are a few of the activities we did:<br />

<h3>
I Am Special Theme </h3>
<div>
This special celebration was all apart of our Bible lesson. We discussed the miraculous gift of Sarah and Abraham's son, Isaac. Students learned that they were fearfully and wonderfully made and are special to God and their parents as well. Sooooo, the parents helped me through a surprise party in order to celebrate the birth of each child! This was the Best Day Ever!!!! Let me just say, that I am blessed to have some of the most wonderful, and creative parents ever! Check out what they did!</div>

Welcome Back!!!</h3>
I believe I will start off with our fun activities! Last Friday we had a "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Day!" Our kinder friends were able to create their lovely Chicka, Chicka Trees, conduct a classroom experiment, and to top it off we were able to go bowling in the classroom!<br />
<br />
<br />

Here are our lovely Chicka, Chicka Trees!</div>

We were able to see a real coconut and made an educated guess on whether or not a coconut would sink or float. These were the results of our hypothesis. Of course, the coconut floated!</div>

We were also able to try a little sight word bowling. Each pin had a sight word or letter on it. Students had to read the pins they knocked down. This was the highlight of our day!<br />

We have also been working a lot in our interactive reading journals. Last weeks focus was on Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. One of our questions was about problem solving. Students were asked what could the letters do to keep themselves from getting hurt. There responses were pretty grand!<br />

Finally, I would like to end with a shout out to the "Blue Wave" team at our school (the maintenance crew). They work so hard throughout the year to help keep our church/school campus flowing in excellence! I thought they deserved a little treat....<br />

<h4>
Grandparents Day</h4>
March was a very busy month for us! We were hard at work and had plenty
of events to keep us from becoming a bit "schooled out." Grandparents Day was a big hit! Because our school is so small we were able to open this event up to any and all family members! Boy, did we have a turn out! Our wonderful Music teacher organized a Grandparents Day tribute through, music and mini plays.<br />
Afterwords, grandparents came back up to the classroom to receive the gifts our students worked so hard on and to enjoy a beautiful performance of "What A Wonderful World" in sign language!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some of the wonderful grandparents, aunties, uncles, moms, and dads that joined us!<br />

<h4>
Fifth Grade Buddy Reading</h4>
Now this was a wonderfully impromptu event! I loved, loved, loved it! One morning, our fifth grade teacher had an emergency situation she had to tend to and needed someone to help watch her class. Well, fifth grade ended up in the kindergarten room and as soon as that happened, I knew what needed to be done! Each fifth grader picked a kinder to read to. Then we switched and had some kinders read to their fifth grade partner! We all had a blast! Check it out:<br />

<h4>
Zoo/Dinosaur Exhibit</h4>
Our zoo has decided to add on a temporary dinosaur exhibit with robotic dinosaurs. Now, pair that up with our zoo field trip and our current report writing about dinosaurs and of course, we all <i>had</i> to check it out! Boy, oh boy! We had so much fun! There were dinosaurs that spit water as you walked by, which gave us all a startle the first time it happened. There, were feathered dinosaurs, winged dinosaurs, and others we had no idea about! This field trip was an awesome lead into our report writing!<br />

December</h3>
<div>
We have had so much fun in the month of December! We set up our classroom Christmas tree, which came with the gift of literature. Each day we unwrapped a small gift under the tree (which just so happened to be a lovely Christmas story). We enjoyed a good book and a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Christmas! We also worked together to create this lovely Christmas wreath for our classroom door!</div>

Sweet Pete's Field Trip</h4>
<div>
Our Sweet Pete's field trip was like a real live walk through a candy factory! We had sooooo much fun! The students made their own candy canes, conducted a science experiment, read a really funny book, and they were even able to see the actual candy factory in action. The atmosphere felt very magical and I even felt like a little kid again!</div>

These lovelies were in icing heaven as they made these deliciously gorgeous gingerbread houses. They all did such a wonderful job working independently,creating their own fancy schmancy designs. I must give a shout out to Mrs.Ryan, the first grade teacher. She gave the tip of using a hot glue gun to keep the graham crackers secure on the milk cartons. That little tip saved lots of tears and made this gingerbread house activity the smoothest by far! Thanks Mrs. Ryan!!!</div>

In October we had an awesome field trip experience at Conner's Amazing Acres! We went through a maze, fed some cows, learned about the farm life, and did a lot of running around!</div>

<h3>
School is in Session!</h3>
<div>
The first few weeks back has been a blast! I have had fun getting to know my scholars and there individual personalities! Let me begin by showing you what we have learned so far within our centers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The very first week of school was dedicated to the introduction of our Read to Self component of literacy. I like to do my own modified version of the Daily 5 and our first priority is to cover the 3 Ways to Read a Book:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Read the Pictures</li>
<li>Read the Words</li>
<li>Retell the Story</li>
</ol>
<div>
Once my fabulous kinders got a hold of that, they had a blast finding a nice cozy spot all around the classroom to practice building their reading stamina.</div>
</div>

Here is one the kinders reading the words to the class!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Our Calendar Math Journals have been a big hit with my kinders. Usually, I introduce the journal to scholars at the beginning of the school year and tell them, once they learn all of their rituals and routines we will begin to use our "big kid" journals for Calendar Math. Then one of my kinders shouted "Why don't we start today?"....and that was that! I was blown away by how fast my scholars grasped the concept and they really love it! </div>

It's Great to be Back!!</h3>
<div>
Greetings blog world! I know it's been a while but I have had so many changes this past school year. Here is an update...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
* I am now Mrs. Williams!!!!</div>
<div>
* I have just completed my Master's Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy</div>
<div>
* I have transitioned from teaching within a charter school to a wonderful private school</div>
<div>
* I have just completed two moves and am now preparing for a new set of kinders this year!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With that being said....let me give you a little tour of my new classroom. If it isn't already evident within my blog design, let me just say I love birdie decor! So as you can guess my classroom is filled with those subtle hints ;) Check it out!</div>

This is how the classroom looks from the back. I'm not sure if you can see them, but I found the most adorable bird houses from the Dollar General the other day and had to incorporate them into the classroom! So now these bird houses hang above each table group.</div>

Here is a closer look at my writing center. Remember my little writing table is on it's way and this center will eventually have a lot of the writing tools, strategies, and techniques posted as I began to teach them.</div>

So the word wall above is perpendicular to my Calendar Math wall. Calendar math is my absolute favorite way to teach math. I have created an interactive calendar math journal that goes along with the Common Core standards for kindergarten math. Here is a link back to that information if interested.

Our classroom has been filled with all types of wonderful explorations this year! One of my all time favorites is our pumpkin exploration. In the month of October we learn all about pumpkins and apples. During our apple inquiry we conduct a lot of science experiments with our apples and even make candy apples! We take an amazing field trip to the pumpkin patch and then we come back to school and explore all of the ooey gooey goodness inside our pumpkins! We even end up with a beautifully carved pumpkin! <br />

This year will be packed with planning events for our school's Spirit Committee, TOT/Eagle Patrols, doing homework, planning a wedding, oh yes...and creating fun packed lesson plans! However, let's stick with our fun packed lessons for now.<br />
<br />
This year I have a small group of students with such wonderfully exuberant personalities! They definitely keep me on my toes and challenge me to come up with fun and engaging activities. Our center time is an awesome time for each of them to gain a hands on experience of what we are learning in class. My students <b>love</b> discovering new centers. Just the other day, as I explained how to do a few math centers, one of my students said, "Ms. Yarde, I love the way you teach!" I sweetly smiled and said "thank you" as I sung the happy song and did the happy dance inside my head!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Here are some of our math centers:</h3>

We have really dived into the meaning of greater than and less than. For some reason, grasping the concept of less than can be a pretty daunting task. That is why I introduced this center. Students grab a handful of two different colored cubes, sort and count, and then circle the number that is less.</div>

This is another greater than/ less than activity (which focuses on less than) that one of my students within my small group suggest I introduce as a center. It was a big hit, I guess kids really know what they like when it comes down to learning!</div>

This year I decided to put my cubbies at the very entrance to create somewhat of a "hallway" into the classroom and free up some wall space. I made sure to put my small group table directly across so that I can see the entire classroom (since that is where I spend most of my time anyway). </div>

Here is a better view of my small group table. I use the clipboards as running records for each subject and that lovely Dr. Seuss hat is what makes me "invisible" when a have a small group at the table. I would say that this is one of my favorite spots since I spend so much time here.</div>

<br />
<br />
Get ready for the Calendar Math Interactive Journal!!!!! (and the crowd goes wild). I have finally finished an interactive math journal that I believe my kiddos will appreciate. Calendar math is such an important part of our day. We gain so much information and review soooo many skills that I have deemed it absolutely essential. That is why I have come up with this awesome possum Interactive Journal!!!<br />

This pack reviews 5 frames, 10 frames, counting on strategies, addition, subtraction, graphing, place value, money, shapes, days of the week, months of the year, 100s chart, and much more! I have a feeling that my kiddos and I are going to have a blast during calendar math!<br />
<br />
I thought about buying a spiral journal or using a binder for this, but then I got this God-inspired idea! What if I just make the journals myself!! I know what your thinking....."do you have a life?"....but I ensure you I do! These journals did not take long to make and they were much cheaper than buying a set of 20 for my students. The average price of a spiral notebook is $1.82 plus tax. For a set of 20 kids that's like $40. I decided to buy 1 pack of card stock paper and 4 packs of heavy paper (500 ct), which round off to $20. I was able to go to my local Teacher Depot (which has all kind of goodies for free!) and use their binding machine and binding combs for FREE!!!! That's my favorite word....FREE. ;) Anyway, this is how it turned out:<br />

<br />
<br />
I don't know about you but I love to teach through play dough! I know a lot of parents and even some teachers can't stand it and yes I understand. It's not always fun finding a glob of play dough stuck in your carpet. I must admit I was very hesitant in introducing a play dough center to my kinders, but this past school year my kiddos did AMAZING!! I will be honest, there was a lot of explicit teaching going on when it came down to this center, but it paid off very well!<br />
<br />
<b>My students love working in these centers because: </b><br />
IT WAS FUN!!!!!<br />
<br />
<b>I love these centers because: </b><br />
It was fun; The students loved it so they were totally engaged<br />
It was versatile; The students could mold their weekly sight words, family words, seasonal words. Some kids even decided to mold out sentences! This center lasted throughout the school year and all I needed was play dough!<br />
It was educational; This fell under the Daily 5 Word work or Writing activity (if you allow students to write after they mold)<br />
It helped with fine motor skills; Those kiddos who have a hard time writing in general...challenge them with this fun activity!<br />
<br />
Here are some fun pictures of my kids in action!<br />

This bad boy is hot off the press! These are monthly words. You can use this as a play dough mold center and then have your kiddos use the "Mold and Write" worksheet to write the word that goes along with what they just molded. Or you can post these pictures all around your classroom and use the "Write the Room" worksheet for student to write the room. I like to reserve wall space for the the monthly word wall. That way when October rolls around the kiddos will still have a September word wall reference.<br />
<br />
This is the September/October play dough mat and write the room. Check it out in my store!<br />

In doing so, I accidentally deleted my precious Kindergarten file. Just to give you an idea of how precious this file was, allow me to list some of its contents (in bold and all caps., as if I were crying hysterically):<br />
<br />
<b>LESSON PLANS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR!!</b><br />
<b>ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION</b><br />
<b>MY GRADE BOOK</b><br />
<b>MY TOT (Teachers of Tomorrow) INFORMATION (In which I sponsor)</b><br />
<b>RTI INFORMATION</b><br />
<b>FIELD TRIP INFORMATION</b><br />
<b>PARENT INFORMATION</b><br />
<b>BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IDEAS </b><br />
<br />
I am not sure if any of you have ever experienced this, but if you have there are stages we seem to go through....The first stage is <b>Indenial,</b> then there is the <b>Absolute Dispair</b> stage (In which we feel the need to cry out in utter anguish)<b>,</b> and closely following is the <b>I'm putting on my teacher pants and getting over this stage.</b> I seemed to have experienced all three stages within 3 minutes. I learned the hard way that I will always need to...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So last summer I read Debbie Diller's "Literacy Work Stations" and was totally inspired to create this dramatic play area. I went to Hobby Lobby and gathered a foam tri-fold, a gold poster, red mini borders, red fabric from, and black felt cloth. Grabbed a glue gun, laminated and Viola! There are sections on the board that allow for a more interactive display. I mainly used the board for retelling stories, but you can do soooo much more. This is the perfect spot for reader's theater, creating a play and acting it our using props, felt board stories and more!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

What's That Sound? and Stretch the Word</h4>
<div>
I created these boards during my internship and they are still going strong! I used a foam tri-fold and cut it in half, used mini word wall letters and bought Everyday Objects picture set along with Alphabet picture sets form School Aides (the teacher resource store in Jacksonville, FL). I will start with "What's that Sound?"</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used this board in the beginning for my kinders who needed help identifying beginning sounds. Later on in the year this center was used to identify final/ending sounds, beginning blends and ending blends. This center is awesome for Daily 5 Word Work! There is a worksheet I created that goes with this to show students work. They have to draw the picture and write the letter or blend. Keep reading for a free copy of the worksheet!</div>

This board is used to help students practice stretching their words, which is ohhhh so fun to do in kindergarten (sarcastically speaking). However, this really helped my kinders and it was pretty fun seeing how much they improved in this area throughout the year! This center works well for Daily 5 Writing.</div>

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love write the room activities for kids. When I created this activity, I purposely didn't label the animal cards that you would stick around the room. The idea is to laminate the cards and write down your own words (family words, sight words, letters, numbers, etc.) This will help make this activity fun and meaningful for you whenever you use it!</div>

This memory game activity has also been upgraded somewhat! Now in addition to the option of playing picture/letter or letter/letter memory game, I have created one where you can match the picture with the word (for those readers of yours). I created these memory games by buying animal print craft paper form Hobby Lobby and gluing it to the back of each game piece before I laminated them.<br />
<br />
There are plenty more activities including sound segmenting centers, zoo noun sorts, zoo passport, etc. If you like what you see click the picture below to go straight to the link.<br />

I have been taking online courses for a little over a month now and I am gaining a ton of information about the Learning Profession. This week's topic was all about taking the time for reflection. Of course, we as teachers do this all the time (subconsciously and consciously) as we are on the go, but do we collaborate with each other as we reflect?<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing my homework assignment with you in the form of this question: What do you plan on doing differently next year? Why?<br />
<br />
Last year, I really needed to work on making math fun (it is definitely not my favorite subject). So I switched my teaching schedule so that math was the first subject taught and I made sure to include awesome math centers to help make it engaging. The results were AMAZING! I even became more excited about teaching the subject and my kiddos could tell!<br />
<br />
This year, I really want to work on promoting interdependence among my students and create some fun, engaging centers that are effective throughout the school year. I also need to focus on prioritizing when it comes to lesson plans, homework, and other school work. My list could go on with a billion things I want to change, or introduce within my classroom, but now I want to hear from you! As you reflect on the school year what are some things you plan on changing?<br />
<br />
Let me know!<br />

This Friday is the last day of school for me! And this is how I felt all this week:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/93/74/8c/93748c875039cdcb34639375ed4c994a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/93/74/8c/93748c875039cdcb34639375ed4c994a.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This week had to have been the busiest week I have ever experienced this year. On top of the normal end of year procedures (gathering materials, packing/unpacking, and submitting end of year paper work), I have had plenty more going on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Monday, my kinders had their graduation celebration! I was sooo proud of them! We practiced the week before and I was honestly very nervous about the outcome. Their little bodies were so antsy during practice and the kept singing ahead of tempo. However, something happened on that magical night of graduation. They actually came together and performed as if they were ready for first grade! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
On Wednesday, my TOT helpers (Teachers of Tomorrow) went on a field trip to Adventure Landing! Let me just say, that was totally AWESOME! This year Mrs. Kumrow (my partner in crime) and I sponsored the TOT program. Those kiddos worked so hard throughout the school year helping their teachers organize and set up. We decided to take them some place fun to show our appreciation. It was so much fun going on a field trip with a small group of third graders. Very different from going on a field trip with 20 kindergartners. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, on Thursday, we had a FIELD DAY!!! Lots of fun in the sun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needless to say, I'm exhausted! But I wouldn't trade this job in for the world. I had such an amazing group of parents and students this year, I am so sad to seem the go. Hope you all have a very relaxing and productive summer break!</div>
