Five Little Pumpkins

I just found this ADORABLE slide show that goes along with a printable book for my students to use/color/follow along with.  I thought I would share with everyone (if you have not already seen it).  I can't wait to use it in my class this week!

Farmyard Freebie!

I have been doing a farm unit this week and have been working on my own "farm unit".  I have to keep my ideas pretty simple due to the type of class I teach but I think with any 5 year old, I have found they LOVE to roll the dice.  I decided to make some so they wouldn't go flying across the table, take an eye out or hit me in the head (at least if they do, it won't hurt as much since they are made out of cardstock!)  Here is the first FREEBIE of my unit with more to come!  Please feel free to leave a comment! :-)

We are LOVING our DonorsChoose.org items!

My students cannot get enough of "playing" with our new kitchen sink and dressing carousel.  Every minute they are asking me, "When is it time to play in the kitchen"?  I love it. (Although I am STILL the one that has to put away the dishes just like at home!)  I am so thankful to the DonorsChoose.org website for accepting my project and to ALL my wonderful friends, family and anonymous donors that made this project possible.

Halloween Word Freebie!

Trying to put together my Halloween Unit for my Kinder Class and decided to make a Halloween Word sheet that I will be cutting and laminating.  I will use it in my pocket chart center.  I am making several copies and the kiddo's will have to match the words.  Hope you enjoy the freebie!

MIA... and Back to School Night

Although I have been MIA on the postings, I still have been a daily "blog stalker"!  I cannot believe how much I rely on your blogs  for fabulous ideas and information.  I would not be able to be a successful teacher without all of you.  I truly LOVE each and every one of your blogs.  Thank you!!

We are having Back to School Night tomorrow (I know, it is really late this year) but I made a new information sheet to share with my parents and thought I would share it with you.  PLEASE, I would LOVE any feedback from any of you.  If you can believe it, this is my FIRST ever Back to School Night.  I am fairly nervous but all the other teachers at my school are telling me I am going way over board but I like to be prepared!  I also have made a card that I am attaching to a cupcake to give to each of my parents.  I just want them to know that I truly care for each and everyone of my students and I am committed in providing them with the best I know how!

DonorsChoose.org Package

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I opened my classroom door to see boxes of some of the items that arrived from my DonorsChoose.org project. I wanted to stop everything and put them together right then and there but, I had to teach the entire day before opening the boxes. It was like waiting to open presents that sit under your Christmas tree. I didn't get them all opened and put together yet but I am working on it! I feel so honored to have been chosen for my project to be funded and know that it will enrich the learning environment for my students. Just thought I would share some photos of what I have received so far!
