FREE PACK

SO sorry I have not updated in a while. Like a long while. We just moved into a new house, the holidays, my own children's activities...not to mention this other thing going on called a "full time teaching job". Anywhoo I have received a lot of emails about my Hibernation Activities. I have been neglectful with returning emails, too. I uploaded some Hibernation activities and threw in a couple of Winter/Penguin/Polar Bear games as well. It is all posted on TPT and it is FREE. Click HERE to go to my online store. Hope this is useful and y'all will forgive me for not returning emails.

I have been horrible at taking pictures so far this year. We moved into our new home just this weekend. I cut back a lot on my internet time due to packing and unpacking. I also just haven't taken that many pictures so far this year! My class is very chatty and a couple of kids who....well....just shouldn't be in the same class together so I've also had to cut back on what I'm doing in my classroom so I can get a handle on management! 

Beginning of the Year

Hey all! See below for two emergent reader printables..."School Tools" and "Silly Shapes". I. am. so. tired! You forget how much training Kindys need!! The bathroom, lunch, bus dismissal, recess line ups. We are 3 days in and doing ok. I've already started getting the kids used to rotations for literacy time. We made this cute Clifford and that's about it. Add to it I'm moving into my new house in about a month. We are planning on camping this weekend but the hurricane may drown us out. Our school is doing a Daily Five book study this year and many of our teachers are doing it in their classrooms this year. I'm on the fence. I've decided to do the book study and observe a couple of my Kinder and First Grade colleagues to see the Daily Five in action but right now I like what I do!!! Anyone else feel this way or is struggling with this? Do you do the Daily Five? If not, why not? My neighbor teacher started it and she already loves loves loves it.
