First week of my 8th year of teaching officially complete.
It dawned on me that I'm now teaching kids who weren't even born yet when I first started teaching back in 2007.

Since this week has been one big awesome blur of events and my mind is filled with a bunch of nonsense about needing sleep & ice cream I'll just post some pics & links to free downloads. :)
Next week we are starting our first common core Reading lesson. It'll last 10 days and we're doing Arthur's Reading Race and Stellaluna (along with a few other short stories). We're going to be focusing on RL 2.1 and RL 2.3 Stay tuned for more information and ideas next week.
This is one of my positive behavior incentives & character building/team building initiatives I have in my class.
The students are able to fill out a Star Card for their peers. They have to chose someone who is respectful, responsible, helpful or kind. They write their name and then a little blurb about said person. It is anonymous and has to be all positive things! Every Friday I hand out Star Cards to recipients. Then I will usually chose 1 student who received a Star Card to also get Student of the Week! This week-- after only 4 days I already had 3 Star Cards completed. The kids were super excited about writing and receiving them. I've noticed that it really promotes kindness and polite behavior.
Bulletin Board Complete! Love how it turned out. The kids had so much fun guessing what they thought each color represented flavor wise. Majority said Pink was bubblegum, Blue was blueberry & green was slime. I don't know where they come up with this stuff-- but I love it!
