Well, I'm finally at a stopping point for my website.  I've been gathering and organizing lots of information about great teaching and posting it to my website.  Next, I'll be posting more personalized information and pictures from my class IN ACTION!  

That will be lots of fun!

I'd love to hear what you think!

I'll be posting more soon about my Back to School plans, Classroom Organization, and First Day ideas!

Awesome Blogs

I have a confession to make:  I've become addicted to blogs.  I tell myself that I can stop any time that I want, but I don't want!!  Here are just a couple that I've come across that are A-MA-ZING!

Enjoy!

Letters In My Name Lapbook

I recently discovered lapbooks, and I am hooked!

 I saw a tri-fold section on a lapbook on Beach Monkeys blog that had her son matching the letters in his name.  I decided to take that section and make a little twist on it.   I like the idea of James matching the letters in his name, but I knew that sometimes the fonts of certain letters throw him off.

Magnetic fish game

I made this cute magnetic fishing game for my boys.

I got the idea from this blog:

I didn't make them counting fish, but if I make some more I think I will.

They were really fun to make!

Counting Cars Book

COUNTING BOOK

I wanted to try my hand at making a little counting book for James. 

Paint Sample Cards

I've seen a lot of uses for paint sample cards out there, and I don't want to forget them.  So, I'm posting some of them here and on a page in my website.  If you know or think of more, let me know!  Also, please ask the manager for the discarded sample.

Flannel Story Board

A neighbor moved out and put a lot of unwanted items on the curb, among them was a cork board, absolutely clean and usable in every way!  So, I picked it up and covered it with black flannel to use as a story board this coming year.  The little flannel characters I picked up at a garage sale, and the green flannel grass was bought this weekend at JoAnn's for 50% off.
