One more day of professional development...and a FREEBIE!

I have one more work day left to get my room completely ready for my 1st grade kiddos. Who are we kidding?? I'm pretty sure I will be at school on Saturday...possibly Sunday afternoon.  I have to admit, I am getting excited to begin school!
This year, I have been asked to have an inclusion classroom.  Although I've never done this before, I'm up for the challenge!

I made these labels to use in my classroom.  It was my first attempt at an editable project. Click on the pic if you would like to check it out.  Enjoy!

Five for Friday with a FREEBIE!

This is one of my fav things about Friday! Five For Friday!

1-On Wednesday, my kiddos made a chick and wrote a story about it. The stories were so cute! One little girl's story began with "I took my chicken to church. She sang gospel songs very loudly." Another student began his with  "I took my chick to Walmart to get chicken tenders".

2-We had an Easter egg hunt yesterday. Each student brought 12 plastic eggs. I numbered each egg 1-12. I tossed the eggs out. As they hunted the eggs, each child had to pick up numbers  1 through 12. It seemed to take FOREVER but they really enjoyed it! In years past, they would only want the eggs they brought from home. Yesterday, they were just glad to find the correct numbers :)

3-We were out today for Good Friday. These boys were pumped to be out of school!

4-I LOVE Easter!

5- Freebie- If you would like to download this, click here or on the pic.  I hope your students enjoy this!

My husband wants his MacBook back so he gave me his ipad. I can not seem to get the hang of Keynote on the ipad. Do any of you use Keynote on ipad? Is it possible??? I'm starting to think it's a dud.

Linky Party and a Freebie

I am a couple of days late on this Linky Party.  I guess it's better to be late than never. :)
Technology-My mimio board. How did we ever live with out smart boards??
Organization- Dropbox-It's an easy way for our 1st grade team to share ideas. We simply upload links to dropbox and click share.
Prof Growth-Honestly, I learn more from stalking reading teacher blogs than I learn at our annual professional developments!

Freebie time...I hope you can use these!

This weekend, my family made our fall pics. Our new photographer is 15 years old. Although she's young, I think she's really good!! My boys didn't shed one tear during the entire shoot. Amazing...
