Classroom Reveal and the first few days of kindergarten!

So, I moved rooms again this year, it was only fitting to redo all of my decor again! I decided to go with a nautical theme but I didn't go quite as crazy over the decor this year as I did last year. I love how the room turned out and the kids are really enjoying the space as well. I have a few new items that I am super excited about. I love the magnetic border to divide areas for my objectives and number wall and I also love, love, love my old fashioned pencil sharpener!  I was so excited when a friend dropped it off as a gift yesterday, (I didn't even know they made them anymore!) These cute little snap boxes fit a 24 pack of crayons perfectly and they are 2 for $1 at the dollar tree. I found these bingo daubers on amazon.com and they work wonderfully, (they were a steal, the next time I see them on sale I am going to buy a ton more) and what teacher could live without these dry erase pockets,  I have used then 3 times already and it is only the 6th day of school! We were able to start daily 5, daily 3 and have started our short "I" word work. The class as a whole is getting the hang of the classroom pretty well. Overall I have been pleased with the start of this year. I hope you enjoy the pictures and maybe find some inspiration!

(You can find the decor and short vowel resources in my tpt store)

    It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.

    Your room looks great! I love the old fashioned pencil sharpener, too, but that ceiling fan is probably my favorite thing! LOL! I would love a fan in my room!

    When you are a teacher or teaching your kids at home getting new ideas every time is extremely difficult to make the kids interested in learning. So, taking help from kidsfront.com like sources will be a relief. Have a look at their webpage http://www.kidsfront.com/english/prefix_1.html.

Sight word freebie, ideas and more Dyslexia Worksheets!

Hello All, Today we had so much fun with our sight word from my freebie Snowflake Slap . First I laid out all of the snowflakes on the carpet. If the child could read me the word they could keep the card and crumple it into a snowball. Once all of the words were read and squished I told the class we could have a snowball fight! It was such great fun that we took our "snowballs" into another kinder classroom and attacked them. As the kids threw the sight word snowballs we made more snowballs and threw them into the crowd from leftover paper. It was great fun! Once we settled back into our classroom we placed all of the snowballs into a bucket and each child pulled a word. If they could read it they recorded it on the left side of the worksheet below, if they couldn't read the word they recorded it on the right. The ones most did not know were pretty consistent so I know which ones we need the most work on. So hop on over the TpT to grab your free copy of Snowflake Slap an...

Animal and habitat teaching ideas for pre-k and a freebie!

O.K. so we all remember those famous dioramas that we made in elementary school were meant to teach us about animals and where they live. While these are cute projects with a purpose they are best suited for elementary students not pre-k. But with curious minds and a natural love for animals it only makes sense to introduce our kiddos to facts about animals and where they live around the world. For pre-k there are so many great easy ways to incorporate animals into our classrooms. I like to make animal masks for each habitat we are working on as well as read the room cards and recording sheets. The kiddos can record the name of the animal by reading it on the other childs mask. My class also enjoys making animals out of construction paper and gluing some facts that I have typed and printed about the animals. I like to try to decorate my room to mimic the habitat we are working on, I have to say I am a huge stuffed animal collector so I have many of the animals needed in beany baby size...

The Story of Creation Flip Book Freebie!

As many of you already know I am a Christian school teacher in a small private school. I have decided to start making my Bible craftivities into files for others to access for their own Christian classrooms or homeschools. I have just finished putting together my first file for a Creation Flip Book and it is listed for free on TpT. The file includes full picture instructions as well as an option for color or black and white. Throughout this year I plan to list each Bible story craftrivity I do in my classroom and then bundle them at the end of the year. I am also working on a God's Journal, similar to the poetry and math journals you see so often in classrooms theses days but this one will celebrate our faith. I would appreciate your feedback after downloading the file and sharing this with other believers. Please take a minute to follow me here on my blog and hop on over to TpT to get your free flip book file. While you are there please check out my other items and follow my store...
