Back to school

My first week back to school was busy!  I greeted 22 students who were eager to start back to school.  My Monday was crazy busy but ended with beautiful flowers delivered to my school from Jason and the boys!  This made all the craziness much better!

 

 

My Tuesday didn't start off so well ( I ran into traffic everywhere causing me to be super late to work and of course I left my phone at home that day).  My students finished their ABC wall (which I love by the way).  You can get the ABC label's here.

 

 

My Wednesday started with this sweet note from a sweet boy that is in my class.  :)

 

 

My students worked hard all week on their Back To School Fun Pack that you can find here.  The pack has a little of everything and a great review with some fun mixed in too!

 

 On Thursday I had to rush home to grab the littles to take Mr. C to get his six month check up.  Thankfully all is good according to the doctor!

My week was hectic and I felt like at times I was living in the moment.  I ended up with 23 amazing kids who are all going to make my first year at my new school memorable.  I ended Friday night with late night cuddles with this sweet one.  I just love little moments like this.

 

Happy three day weekend!

 

Check out my new "Sub Folder Pack" on TPT.  I have never had to have one of these before but I think it's geat and jam packed with tons of work for the kids while you are unexpectedly out.

 

 

You can get it here.

 

Meet the Teacher

My first meet the teacher is down at my new school and I think it went great!  You can find my beginning of the year printables here.

2014 - 2015 Fall Leaf Exchange

Please join me and my class in a "Fall Leaf Exchange".  I would like to get between 25 to 35 classes to join in with us and exchange fall leaves from around the United States.  Here is what you need to do to participate. 

1. Email me your Name, School, and Address

2. You and your class will pick one type of tree an send a leaf, little write up about the leaf, little write up about your class/school, and a picture if you would like.

 

I will be taking teacher/school info up until October 1, 2014.  I will send out all the contact information to everybody by Oct. 5th.  Please try to have your leaves and information mailed out to everybody by the end of the month. 

 

I have done this before and it is so much fun to get different leaves and information weekly.  The kids really enjoyed reading about the leaves, schools, and students that were sending them.  I hope you join us in this fun adventure and help the kids engage in learning too!

 

Send all your information to ACate003@gmail.com

 

I hope to hear from you all soon!

Brag Tags

How cute are these?  I saw this idea in a different version on Pinterest (what we would we do without Pinterest.  Anyways, I came up with these cute tags to send home with a  few kids every week.  It allows others to ask them how well they did in a certain area in class.  It allows them to feel good about their accomplishments and let's them shine in and outside the classroom!  You can get them here.
