Are You Scared?

It's that time again.  

I made it out of my little World

I'm so excited to be shared on another site.  I use Halloween to win a Drug Free door decor.
It's one of my favorites and as I perused to net I came across it and got so excited. Go by to visit and see if you can find my "Wanna be Vintage" blogpost ( pre- T is for Teacher).

Getting into the Routine

Routines are set.  We're moving on at a pretty fast pace, but it's going as smooth as expected. Yes, there are meltdowns, me and them, but I'm blessed to have a good bunch of kinders and a fantastic Para. These are some of the things that we have mastered so far.

This is the first year I have used Interactive Notebooks and I'm loving it.  After 22 years of Kindergarten I still love the excitement of doing something new.  We have been doing ABC Bootcamp (from Kindergarten Smorgasboard) and we have pages for each letter.  This is our first sorting activity we have put in it, they did it all.  Isn't it GREAT!!!  How do you use the Notebooks?

We do Math Tubs following the lesson everyday.  This independent time has proven to be helpful in so many ways.  My favorite is that it gives me time to work 1-1 with each student on a skill while everyone else is engaged; and they get to choose whatever they want to work on.  

More Classroom Angles

Guess where I am this morning?  Not on vacation that's for sure.  But this is one of my favorite places for some strange reason.  This is my Center shelf.  I have Literacy centers on one side and math on the other (the backside).  Each group will work in their color baskets each day while I pull groups to my table in the corner.  From this angle it looks like a mess, but it's getting better by the minute. 

Getting Ready

This was my room last week.  I couldn't figure out what to do with tables.  There's something on every wall so I have to make things visible from everywhere.

So I turned them on an angle.  What do you think?  They don't spend much time there anyway.  

When you first walk in the room.  This is straight ahead.  I have computers on the far table.  I'm still working on this area.  Tell me what you think.  

Back to School Brag Tags

I'm seeing alot of hype about Brag tags on the internet, so I thought I would join in.  I'm going to get some binder rings them my littles to keep them on.  Just don't know where to keep them.  I've made my first one to get started.  If you want to try them out I've posted them in my TPT store.  Click
here to go.
