i finished a few more things this week. bathroom passes. my room does not have a bathroom so the children will have to go down the hall to use the bathroom. this will be a brand new experience for them.
reading groups for the agenda board. i did seven different ones. i don't expect to have that many reading groups but i thought i'd give the students the chance to choose their own reading groups and i wanted to have enough variey for them.

i created an agenda board for my chalkboard. this way the children can see how their day will play out. i'll write the time that each activity will happen next to it. after these are laminated, i'll be glueing a magnet to the backs. my chalk board is magnetic.

i've been working alot lately getting ready for school in september. i have alot of ideas that i want to implement in the fall and it's so hard to organize them. i've been trying to put them in one notebook and slowly get them ready. like this lunch/attendance chart. my host teacher at franklin elementary used something similar to this for attendance. she had a smiley face on the top and a frowny face on the bottome. the kids came in first thing and put their clothes pin on the smiley side. all the absent kids were then put on the frown side. this is how she took attendance. i'm going to use it for lunch count (buyers or bringers) and that will also take care of attendance.

oh i got a package last week. i love it!!

here are a couple of pages for the mini album i made about the kitties.

i found this on myspace...too funny! i loved dr. who in hs!!
