We read The Dot today which has to be one of the greatest books for kindergarten students. I ❤️ the message and decided my kids should make their own dots with watercolors and our big-oh-so-special-and-expensive easel paper. They were thrilled! I lined them all up on one edge of our tables and they set to work. Only problem? 😬Today was our Kindergarten program & I never thought about it not being a good day to get paint out. Oops! I was scrubbing dresses and shirts before the parents arrived for a good 30 minutes! 🙄 I’m kind of known for being the teacher who may be doing Modge Podge right before an announced observation so I just go with it.🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😉
We’ve been cleaning tables with shaving cream! Best end of the year activity ever! I encouraged them to practice sight words.☺️ One of my students has a “Gran” in the school and I thought this was the sweetest kiss.💋
That beautiful moment when you see one of your students bring a BOOK to the playground and everyone gathers around! 😍🙌🏽📚
The one and only time I will ever receive a surprise for my dancing skills (or lack of)!😂After seeing our rainy day dance video Shawna Simmons Streeter sent these goodies to me and my students from Go Noodle! We have been using the program every day since they contacted me. The word obsessed doesn’t even come close to describing their excitement when they see me turning it on! It really is the perfect brain break and SO MUCH FUN. 🙌🏽Thank you @gonoodle!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hosting the Mother’s Day Tea was the most meaningful and sweet event I’ve ever been a part of as a teacher. The kids were so excited to give their moms the hats, necklaces, and writing we finished for them. The room looked so cute and the kids were the perfect little servers and performers. There were lots of tears shed and meaningful memories created. I will do this EVERY year going forward. It’s a must! Head over to the blog to see how we pulled it off!
