New School....

So we are moving our school location and we had to make some posters so show parents where are our new classrooms would be located and we let the students write their names on the concrete prior to flooring being put into the buildings.  Here are some photos of that fun fun event.

Here is one of my kids names on the floor.  Yay now its like there own!  Such a cute idea that another teacher at my school came up with.

Here is our lovely poster to go on our classroom window!!!!

So to make filling a bucket easier for the first graders this year I tried this to start off instead of them writing something to the student whose bucket they would like to fill.  So there is a bucket with all sorts of encouraging words in it.  The students pick a word and fill their friends bucket.  Once they have learned all the words, then I will create a multiple choice slip, where they circle the word they would like to give to their friend, towards the end of the year I am going to let the kids write the words.  These words are just a little to above their level right now though so we are starting our more simplistic.  I saw this idea on pinterest.  What a great idea!!!!

I forgot to take pictures of guided reading stuff while I was at school, so I will be doing that hopefully next week and adding some bulletin boards soon!  Now off to make a dress that will soon be posted!!!
