Science is SUPER groovy!!

We really are enjoying Science! My little friends get very excited when they see me put on my Rainbow LAB coat. It is almost like a signal to them that something cool is going to happen!

This past week we created Mini Explosions of colour! 

You should have heard their "oohs and ahhs" and "this is so cool!" 

They also look super cute in their science goggles. 

It was so quiet while they were working! It was AMAZING how engaged they were! 

Eagle Eye!

Here is the little eagle eye that we made to remind us to use our Eagle EYES when we are reading. Look for clues in the pictures and Look at the words! 
I think he turned out so cute! 
The original idea came from The Moffatt Girls Eagle craft from teachers pay teachers. I bought their package about Eagles, took the craft and modified it! I shrunk it down on the copier and then had the kids glue it to a paper lunch bag. The kids LOVED it and so did I! They were CUTE! 

This is an adorable new book I found! It is so funny! Some of the humour only Adults will understand, but kids will still really like the story! 

These are the Elmer the Elephant Paintings we worked on. I plan on adding in a writing element too! 

It has been a very busy but fun week! Looking forward to the days and months ahead! 

This little class group has so many funny kids! They say the cutest things! 

They make me smile everyday! 

New Year and New Friends...and FUN!

                                 School is now in full swing! 
I am excited to be working with some wonderful people this year! I have two wonderful educational assistants and a teaching partner next door who is so fun. I love having a teaching buddy to share the workload with and to bounce ideas around. She's great! 

My class is a busy little bunch! They are excited about learning and we do ALOT everyday! I am usually worn out by days end. Can you say NAP? I come home and need one! Hopefully as the year moves on I will build up my stamina again and so will my little people. It's tough to go from going to school every second day when they were in Kindergarten to summer where there is no school, to going to school everyday! Big change and transition! 

We have been in ABC boot camp this week! We are reviewing one letter and sound per day! I am also doing beginning reading strategies with my kids. 

This week we worked on Eagle Eye! We made a very cute puppet. 
I am attempting to upload a photo but for some reason my computer is not in the mood! I will have to try again later. Perhaps it will adjust it's attitude! 

School starts tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is the first day of school! I am excited to meet my new class of little people! I am also excited to be working with an educational assistant this year! Yay! An extra set of hands (eyes, ears and other parts) is always welcome.
I have been working in my classroom since mid-August; setting up and copying and decorating. Now I am into shoving and hiding things away! The first day crept up way too fast!!
Oh well...Good-Bye summer, I will think of you fondly!
Hello fall and back to school! Hello new friends and old.
It's goning to be an AWESOME year!!
