<span style="font-size: large;">One of my parents offered to bring a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN for our Valentines Day party!! I think I was just as excited as the students were about this:0) So after school on Wednesday I went and picked up all things dip-able. They had such a good time and there were many chocolate mustache smiles to go around. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This year my classroom has a superhero theme and I have been able to find lots a great inspiration and printables through Pinterest and TPT. Here are two of my finds, I will post more later along with some pics of my classroom.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My fellow teacher and I are using the same theme and I found a </span><a href="http://teaminguptoteach.blogspot.com/2011/08/back-to-school.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Superhero Hunt here</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> at Teaming up to Teach. This was a great way to show our students around the school. We had a huge surprise when we returned to our classroom and found a superhero snack. Here is a picture of what they look like:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also planning on using the Daily five in my clasrroom this year and found these free cards to go with this @ <a href="http://primarygraffiti.blogspot.com/2012/06/daily-5-chapter-1.html" target="_blank">Primary Graffit</a> and they look like this:</span><br />

I have spent several weeks try to better organize my classroom. I am very excited with the results so far but I still have a few things to finish up. I will try to take some pictures of things I have used to organize my classroom and follow up with how they are woking out for me. </strong><br />

I decided since the class enjoyed this book so much it was a great oportunity to write about what superhero they would want to be. I will post some pictures later. I plan on making a class book with their pages. Loved this book and how it had my students attention.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As I sit here wrapping my brain around what is to come from my new group of Kinders, I can't help but think of Forest Gump. Yep Forest Gump and I quote "Life is like a box of chocolates" well the same can be said about Kindergarten. Kindergarten is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also think about the movie "Groundhog Day", we phase our students in slowly so the <strike>teachers</strike> students can adjust to a new school year. Which results in doing and saying the same thing each day. I will be doing this until Thursday when I will have all 20 of my students. Last year I had 17 students so having three more little personalities will be interesting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As far as my box of chocolates: Like many I have some students who do not know how to hold scissors or a pencil.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On the bright side I only had one student tear up and he was fine within a few minutes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow I will drop my youngest son off to begin college and I can tell you there is going to be a mom doing more than tearing up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well enjoy your weekend and get some rest.</span>Mrs. P's Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353199233082935248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551178130390997520.post-27803414436815701002011-08-13T06:36:00.000-07:002011-08-13T06:57:05.272-07:00Letters<span style="font-size: large;">I am attempting to be a better blogger! We all get so busy and the beginning of the school year is no exception. But the purpose of blogging (for me) is to share great ideas that will help us be better teachers. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this is a great topic and if you are keeping all of your data files saved on just your computer I can say from experiance you must save this information on some type of storage device other than just the computer .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I still save things on my computer at home and at school but I keep a copy of everything on a flashdrive. The one I am using now is a 1g and it is full. I am planning on buying a new flashdrive that is at least an 8g soon. I am hoping some will go on sale with the back to school sales.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh and to just share for a moment the reason I say that I know from experiance to keep your data backed up and I just need to say make sure that you are saving it correctly and that you aren't just clicking save. The reason I say this is because I was, I kept the books for a school before I became a teacher. I was the school secratary / nurse / attendance / etc. (you get the picture). Anywho I had been using a computer system and each day I pressed save and thought that I was saving all of this information I had put in that day. Well in April of the school year my computer CRASHED! So I lost all of the data I had put in from July until April (the fiscal school year is July - June of the following year) I was lucky that I had paper copies I could use but I had to re-enter all of the information for almost the entire school year:o( It was a very sad and stressful time). Long story short no one had correctly shown me how to back up the information and to save it on an external hard drive. You can be sure I found out real fast how to put this informaiton in and save it correctly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are not sure how to do this ask someone it can save you a lot of heart aches.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So share how you keep up wiht the great ideas you have found onthe internet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Best of Luck</span><br />

I have tried a couple of different types of classroom managements over the last few years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first year I taught I used cards that were different colors. Each day students stared out on green, if I had given a student several warnings they had to move their green card to the back and the card that was showing was blue, next was yellow, red, and the last card was black which was a phone call to the parent. I had a small poster with each color card on it and a smiley face clip art or frown to emphasize what each color and consequence was. This worked ok but I had a student that was diagnosed OD / ADHD and pulling a card caused a major melt down with this student, and to be honest any type of consequence was a battle, thankfully our school has what is called a 'behavior lab' and after having to carry the student down the hall screaming more times than I want to remember the student was allowed to be taken here (oh my sometimes I wonder how my poor students learned anything that year). This worked pretty good with the rest of my class and the next morning before everyone was put back on green the students who had stayed on green the day before were given a ticket that they could turn in on a special day for a prize or some type of reward. I did have one student who would act like he moved his card, move someone's card other than his own, or move his green back to the front before he left. (you know the ones) So the next year I thought I would try something new.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1H9dP6NNRJnGB0fSqMASiLR8rUfXxtsPrEUiAi69l5RhjF6K_xxa_juN6oLSuCIvkxO6ReVk04wNJtjNpmdUUwZfCdg_RufYyfv0KIWrkTKEaL24NHdPc-CgTckXe2YM9QKdrDGR83Q4/s1600/158024.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1H9dP6NNRJnGB0fSqMASiLR8rUfXxtsPrEUiAi69l5RhjF6K_xxa_juN6oLSuCIvkxO6ReVk04wNJtjNpmdUUwZfCdg_RufYyfv0KIWrkTKEaL24NHdPc-CgTckXe2YM9QKdrDGR83Q4/s320/158024.gif" width="244" /></a></span></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I purchased the stop light behavior chart and have tried to use it the past two years but I just have not had great success with this behavior system and have ended up taking it down and using something different the past two years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am currently using the old fashion name on the board. We start out on Monday with a clean board and names are not erased until the next Monday. If a student gets into trouble more than once they get a check mark by their name. I also write a word at the top of the board such as Easter, if this word stays on the board until we leave on Thursday the class receives a treat on Friday, if they have lost letters then their is no treat. I also give them check marks if they already have all of the letters and they are doing a great job following directions, they get a compliment from someone in the hall or the cafeteria, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next year I plan on using a different type of classroom management I want to use the <a href="http://www.newmanagement.com/products/clip_chart.html">clip chart by Rick Morris.</a> although I have saw some ideas that I really like on this link party sooooo.... we shall see. Sometimes the class changes what you thought would work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure you check out everyone's ideas and join in I love getting inspiration from others and sometimes we all need a new idea when it comes to classroom management.</span>Mrs. P's Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353199233082935248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551178130390997520.post-44155436957753304542011-05-01T14:54:00.000-07:002011-05-01T14:56:23.187-07:00Great Deal on Great Geysers Jar<span style="font-size: large;">In my previous post I showed my class using mentos to make a geyser. I found a kit at Cracker Barrel marked 50% off the regular price of $19.99. The one I had used was borrowed from another teacher so as soon as I saw this one I had to get it. This kit comes with more experiments than just the geyser. I can't wait to use this next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been sick for what seems like forever. This is my third year to teach and I thought I was finally building up an immunity but even as recent as yesterday I was in the bed with a killer stomach virus. </span><br />

We spent most of our day in the hall, but my students did really well. I took some time this morning to let my students know that we would be having some storms (because most of their parents had already told them this). We talked about what we should do if we had a tornado drill. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were sent to the halls at around 9:00 this morning due to tornado warnings. When we were able to go back to our room it was almost time for our lunch so we got our math lesson in and went to lunch. When we returned from lunch I let my students listen to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Coming-Heather-Tekavec/dp/014240070X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298952572&sr=8-1">Storm Is Coming</a>. I have this on CD an I like to let the students listen to a story before I read it to them and show them the pictures. I will read it to them later and show them the pictures.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Coming-Heather-Tekavec/dp/014240070X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298952572&sr=8-1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW2f53DPZkCLvnHa1GKCmlWC30fvfGxtU8l7-5Yx16wTobTpYRw3Tdfs_ASkPGCS5sRajpeXsv27hc71iTKI2QV8Lcc197Rp2ZTXL2r0hIPONaYtSrg6lp8T_iWb0zHWX01WIDLz0Eges/s1600/51PYTYVN3KL._BO2%252C204%252C203%252C200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click%252CTopRight%252C35%252C-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" /> </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was a perfect book for today! We compared how the farmer put all of the animals in the barn and how we were put in the hall. We also compared the farmer to our principal and how our principal was taking care of us just like the farmer took care of the animals. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The students drew a picture about their favorite part of the story. I had planned on letting the students share these with the class. I had planned to let the students compare how they felt in the hall to how the animal they drew felt in the barn. Well I was not able to do this because we were sent back to the hall again while another set of storms came through.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am so glad that we were sent to the hall because when I got home and watched the news someone had lost their life in the storms today, homes were destroyed and pictures of a tornado were shown. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope everyone has a safe week and hopefully the bad weather will be past us for a while.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I really needed this day because my son had to have surgery yesterday so it was nice to be able to be home with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All these snow days have been nice but I really need to have my students in class for a full week at some point. Between the snow days and flu I haven't seen all of my students for a full week since before Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have tried to move ahead without doing so much that my students that are out will get behind but at some point we are going to have to move much faster. It seems just when we are ready to start something new we have a snow day, oh bother. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well that's enough complaining.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have been making some valentines for the Veterans. We made Christmas cards and when I delivered them and ask if it would be ok for us to make some more things in the future the nurse was so nice and almost cried. She told me that they were overwhelmed around the Christmas holidays and then after that it was as if they were forgotten about. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Veterans are the reason we have the freedoms we do and so I always want to remember them even if it is just with a construction paper card that says 'Thank You'. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My student understand that the cards are going to the men and women who made / make sure we are able to come to school. I have been keeping hearts and construction paper at a table in our room and each day we take some time to make a card. I have asked other teachers to help if they can and I have had lots of participation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If your class or school is able to do something like this I would encourage you to do this or something like it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some pictures of my students making cards to send to the Veterans. </span><br />
