Update…

Hi Everyone! I just updated the Tech/Books tab with the list of books I used to accompany The Mitten by Jan Brett.  We have been using this book for the last two weeks and I am getting ready to video tape my lesson for National Boards tomorrow (Thursday the 22nd!).  I will be back later [...]

Hello Everybodyeee!

I’m so sorry that I haven’t posted in a while!  My to-do list is as long as my arm (literally) and I’m preparing for 2 speaking engagements, a wedding (my sister on the 27th), recording my National Board video (all 15 minutes of it!), my new stamping classes/clubs, life in general, and the hope that [...]

Finding Old Posts

I added a few new things to help you find older posts/topics on my site. Search box:  Up at the top right corner, just under my classroom picture is a search box.  You can enter topics/tags (ex: Literacy Work Stations) and it will pull up all the information I’ve posted on that topic.  See below [...]

This Week’s Lesson Plans

Awhile back, I had a request to see what a typical page in my lesson plan book looked like, how I get everything in in one day or in a week.  I’ve completed my plans for this week (December 15th-18th, 2008) and I’m going to post them below.  They are very general, as this week [...]

The one that got away!

This week got away from me!  I’ve been so busy, that I didn’t have time to post!  I had dinners with friends, family, a Holiday Bazaar at school, my brother’s birthday, and then all the usual things!  So here is a recap of the rest of the week (Wednesday – Friday). As we read Rosie’s [...]

New Stuff

I added some things to the “Tech” tab at the top of the page.  While sitting in my Science Academy workshop today, I decided to start posting the books that I use to read aloud to the children by topic.  The topics will not be in order (I don’t have time to do that!   [...]

Math Work Stations

In thinking about my classroom and how it would work best, I am still looking at the idea of introducing Math Work Stations.  What I would like to do it wait until 2nd semester (January) and then start them, so that I can get the “bugs” worked out before then.  I would like to use [...]

Updates on Literacy Work Stations

Here are the pictures I promised yesterday showing the new things in our Literacy Work Stations–as always, if you have any questions, please e-mail me at fuzzlady77@hotmail.com   This is Handwriting Work Station–I added some dry erase slates, some of those Magic Slates (the kind that use static to help you write), and some alphabet [...]

Elections

We’re a little off topic today (our theme is supposed to be The Little Red Hen), but since I was out yesterday pulling mommy sick duty and elections today-we went with that.  I have MANY pictures to show you, so I will post minimal words for now and go back and add details later:   [...]

Science Stretch Day #1

Instead of finishing up our Bats theme–which wasn’t much considering our schedule this week!   We opted for having one of our Science Stretch Days:  The 4 Kindergarten teachers get together and we pick a Science-y theme (fall in this case) and then we have 4 different thing stations that the Kindergarten children can visit.  [...]
