Weekly Recap 11/30-12/1


Last week I only worked two days, but they were two crazy days! I feel like when the month switches it is always crazy because there is so much to do. I have to print out our monthly calendar/lunch menu for their folders, change the calendar, and change our calendar opening for the computer. We also have to change dramatic play and sensory. Oh and nametags! Like I said, there's so much to do and I'm sure I'm missing other things lol.


I made the kids these little velcro games which I was always so against file folder games LOL, but they did love these. I put them on my TPT. 

Alex made the tree farm with them on Wednesday. She used the teen number set because our kids are pretty good with 1-10 and we will be moving into teen numbers in a couple of chapters so it is a good intro!

Nick and I went to the Cavs game. My dad has season tickets, but he coaches basketball so he asked if we would want to go. We hit up the casino buffet (we love buffets haha) and then headed over to the game.


 On Friday I got to work taking pictures of the entire Kindergarten for our little parent gift tradition. One of our moms sent in all this fun stuff for December so the kids colored while I took the pics. They were having a blast.


I asked them to take a pic of me on the purple (I make a class christmas card), which turned into them getting into the picture and also me having to hold a picture that was made by someone else lol.

Also we had a delivery from the North Pole - inside were elf hats!!! Then we made these cutie reindeer. :) 


I did a terrible job hanging these up lol!!


Also switched our morning work. I went with a half sheet. I always did a full sheet, but I felt like it was a waste of paper. I know there will be haters, but don't worry they still play in the morning lol. I like them to have some responsibility and practice. 


Then on the weekend I had friends over for a little christmas craft party. This is my job share partner!!


My nephew also started a new sport on Sunday! Alright, that is all, talk later!

Lucky Charms Writing

 Friday we made these little cereal boxes. I had it up on our front board and they were so shocked at how much it looked like a real cereal box lol. I printed it out in black and white so they could color it how they want. I try to do a mix of craftivities where they use colored cardstock and then some they can be creative and make it however they want!  I tried to tell them they didn't have to write a whole sentence because a. the pictures are small / they have big handwriting and b. I thought it would be easier lol, but because they rock - a lot of them were writing full blown sentences. Bless them! lol I had them write in pencil first then they were allowed to go over it in sharpie if they wanted to. In our classroom we have a bin of sharpies I keep behind my desk. I labeled them at the beginning of the year and we are still going strong!!! That was probably one of my top ten ideas ever as a Kindergarten teacher. It helps responsibility because no one wants to lose their ca...

Weekly Recap

Happy Valentine's Day! I used to feel like I needed something to do on Valentine's day, but now that I'm old and wise (lol) I don't care and I just want to make it fun for my kids. As you can see, I thought making slime would be fun... The kids were so excited and hype, but my desk was a disaster and it didn't go as planned lol. Last year I hired someone to come in and face paint, but obviously with Covid we couldn't do that this year. I mainly did the slime because they have been keeping their bookshelves clean and tidy without being asked and I wanted to let them know I appreciate that.  On Valentine's day we also watched a Number Jacks movie (their favorite- it also was only like 40 minutes which I like because it isn't extremely long) and really didn't do anything else that was party related because we had a intruder drill which took up a chunk of time and I told them we HAD to do math stations. However, I think the movie and slime was fine with ...

Teaching Recap Jan 25

It was a short week! We had Friday off for PD and a teacher work day. This is my 'focus' board. We don't really call it anything, but the kids use it all the time to reference what we are doing- which was the whole point! My cooperating teacher had something similar when I student taught. This area has evolved over my years of teaching, but I think I finally have it down.  In writing we are working on having our writing make sense when we read it. We also are going to start incorporating math into writing. I kind of felt bad when they did the pre-test because they wanted to do it correctly, but were a little confused lol. Poor babes. One person wrote "I like" because we have been doing opinion writing for the last five months haha. We are also going to start informational writing, which is the greatest of all time. We read Nerdy Birdy, which is one of my favorites. We mainly focused on verbs because when they are writing they have a hard time with 'ing'. N...
