Holey Moley. (AND this is my 37th revision.) Also- I realized today that I have no planned time for classroom meetings... Dear oh dear. But, as my adorable new button says, "Keep Calm and Learn On." If you have any questions about my schedule, ask! I'm happy to share!

I'm super excited to fix up my CAFE board and take a picture for you! Only this year, I am making it my FACE board (ya see what I did there??). Saw it on pinterest, can't take credit. But It will say "Picture the FACE of a Reader" with pictures of the kiddos all around, then the sectioned board (I put on a scalloped border so it kinda looks like a picture frame c: ). I will *probably* be using my friend Leigh's idea of putting the FACE letters on paper plates above each section... Genius! Anyway- the shining star of this display (besides the strategies that actually go on the board) will be the camera! Yes, a paper camera! My dear artist husband helped me make it. Actually, he made me do it but gave me helpful tips at every step. He gave me some good confidence :) So, this lovely camera will be posted soon! Can't wait!

Happy first day, friends!!

New Schedule

Hello friends!

Well, today I went to work in my classroom. It was weird/exciting to see all my stuff in the hallway. It was also kinda inspiring because I love new beginnings! So I have decided to change a few furniture things around. I have also made the decision to change my schedule *gasp*! I am a creature of habit and I love my schedule, but I need to move something... my least favorite something... CALENDAR TIME! (bum bum buuuuummmmm). Since we will be doing calendar along with out math series, it just makes sense to NOT start the day with calendar and instead, do it at the beginning of math. Lovely. I am excited!

Also, my sweet girls I am going to be tutoring didn't show up today. I was so sad. Then the oldest sister called me and said they forgot! Haha. They want to come next week though. So I told them when to come and that I would call them to remind them. Precious girls!! I wish I could have talked to her mom. I could understand all the things she was saying in Spanish, I'm just not fluent enough to reply... Blerg! Anyone want to teach me conversational Spanish?? Anyone??
