Getting Ready….

Hello sweet friends!

Let me start by saying….we have RAIN!   We are in a drought (again!) and it is raining (and cooler weather!) YEA!!

I haven’t been able to get into my classroom, so I have been working and getting things ready at home.  Hopefully this week, I will get up into my room and start actually putting these things up on the wall!

But you know….when I bring two kids to “work” in the classroom, I end up spending more time cleaning and chasing and yada yada yada!  Between Jaxon getting out manipulatives and games, and Little M wanting to eat them all….we don’t get much work done!

So…..  I just wanted to share what I will *hopefully* get up this week!

I made some new helpers…..

Don’t you just love Melonheadz clipart??!!  I am love!!

This is what they look like before hanging them up…

You can use Velcro or thumb tacks (just punch a hole in the top of the accent to easily hang!)  to attach the student names (I will have my “STAR Helpers”) but you can use any accent with student names! 

I am also trying to get everything for my calendar ready to go, so here is what I have so far….

I have it on a black background, because that is what I have up in my room…
I have also made a new dismissal clip chart…
It’s a slow start….but I’m getting there!  
I also purchased Amy Lemon’s numbers….. and I printed them on neon paper because they will also be on a black background, so they will “POP”!!  I LOVE these!!
I have also made my new “Non-Verbal Hand Signal Posters” which work great in my classroom!  (I never had the posters, but we have used the signals!)
Click on the picture or {HERE} for the posters!
I have also been working on my morning work packets, because I just really wanted a change this year!  I will start having their folders for each month with their MORNING MUNCHIES activity sheet for each day. 
Each day has multiple Literacy and Math activities that *most* students should be able to work on independently!

Aside from working on school stuff…Little M had to get a *minor* surgery done on Friday, in hopes to prevent further illness!  Here he is in his little hospital gown!  (and long blonde curly hair that needs a trim!)
Between this and school….now I have to start planning a FIRST BIRTHDAY!!  Where has this time gone??

When I get everything up in my room….I will post updated pictures!!
Have a great week!
