Normally on Saturday I do the Saturday Kindergarten Post where I share all of insanity and chaos and messiness from the week in Monsters, Inc. (my classroom!) but since I've had the week off, I am going to share a couple of school related things I did or shared this past week!
Using student pictures for clip chart clips and my monster sized clip chart! Notice that I tore off the old pictures from the clips before I snapped this picture!

Casino baskets for QUIET dice! No more click click clack clack! AH, peace!
DIY dry erase pockets!
Using students in sight word a sight word PowerPoint!
Mini Stampers for math centers! I created a super fun I Love The 80's themed ten frames freebie to go with these! You can get it from my freebies page!
Here is one of my fave new year's activities! This is a great way to build community on your first few days back! It's also a great lesson for adjectives (especially for upper grades!) Students use adjectives or short phrases to say nice things about their classmates! Record those on paper or the Smart Board and snap a picture! You can also click on the picture to get tons of New Year's freebies and ideas!
Have you subscribed to my newsletter yet!? WHAT? Why not?! DO IT! A new edition will be coming out this week with tips and ideas and a newsletter exclusive freebie! Think cars and trucks and ten frames! HMMMM

Thank you for the great ideas! I am a new blogger and would love to get my name out there in the teacher blogging world. I am a K teacher right outside of Nashville (Franklin). I am having a difficult time tapping in and friending other teacher bloggers :) Any advice/shout outs would be tremendously appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!

I always look forward to reading your blogs! I've been integrating you new year's community building in my classroom and the children absolutely love it! We've been choosing one student a day and they look forward to their turn. I told my kids that my New Year's resolution for my class is to use more helpful words to each other. It's been successful so far. Now I wish I had a smart board...I passed up on the chance because my classroom is in a portable which means no space! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog today and I am so glad that I did. Nice job creating all of those things for your classroom over break. I have a small to do list myself and with only 1 1/2 days left, I hope I have the motivation to get it done.
