Silence for Sandy Hook

No Words

Today I say a prayer for the families in Newton, Connecticut, as a parent and a teacher my heart is saddened beyond words.

Some Classroom Organization

I have been working to get my classroom organized with the items that I use and to let go of the things that I haven't used in the last couple of years. So here are some pics of my cabinets in my classroom. I am still working on them but they are much better than they were.

Classroom update and Schedule Cards

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.

 

My fellow teacher and I are using the same theme and I found a Superhero Hunt here 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:

I am also planning on using the Daily five   in my clasrroom this year and found these free cards to go with this @ Primary Graffit and they look like this:

I also wanted to let everyone know that Cara at The First Grade Parde has updated her schedule cards and they are still free on her TPT store. I am leaving the link to her store below and you can click  here to visit her blog.

I talked about the schedule cards in this post.

Organizing a plan of action

It's that time of year again when we start buying new school supplies and begin the final touches on our classrooms. 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.

Organization is the goal for the year! Along with all the teachy stuff.

St. Patricks Day Pins

I don't know about anyone else but I am loving Pinterest and all of the great ideas I am finding to use in my classroom. I also love finding those FREE printables! I thought I would share some of the cute things I have found and hope to use with my students.


Here are some cute crafts:
