Teachers Helping Teachers

Many schools, children and teachers have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. A few teachers are donating lessons and packets from the Teachers Pay Teachers stores and Teachers Notebook store. Such a great idea. Keep these people in your prayers and donate items from your store if you have one. I am donating today.

New Units

I am so excited! I have 90 followers at my teachers pay teachers store. I know that is small beans but it means so much to me.
I have posted an Elections unit. This will make a great Social Studies unit for the end of October and beginning of November. You can choose to have a small election in your very own classroom right along with our elections in November.
I have also post Thanksgiving Fun!. This unit contains many ideas to use all through November. Check it out. It also included Thanksgiving Clip-It to use in Math Centers.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Chapter 3 of Curriculum Maps

I finally finished Chapter 3 of the Common Core Curriculum Maps. I just posted it on Teachers pay Teachers. I am finishing up Chapter 1 this week with my kiddos. I am going to do Chapter 3 next with my children at school. Chapter 3 seems to fit my units better to use now during Community Helpers. I will begin Chapter 2 later in the fall. Check it out.

Welcome Fall

I am getting ready for some FALL fun in Kindergarten. I love the fall units. Check out my Tpt store for Seasons of the Apple Tree, Falling Leaves, Pumpkins and Scarecrows and Oh!Christopher Columbus Math, Science and Literacy units.
Check out the pictures below on the blog and to the side.

Classroom Set Up

I love looking at other classrooms and getting some great ideas. I moved my classroom this year to a new room. I thought it would be fun to share some pictures of my room.

This is my large group area. I have calendar activities, math, and weather lessons. Also you can see my Reading corner with Weatherman Bob on top of the file cabinet. Below is my work area and Smart Board.

Literacy Table, Math Center with Math Word Wall. I will post sight words on the red board and schedule.

Environmental print on back cabinets, Puppet Stand. I have Science Centers in the wood sand tables.

My husband made the wood working center. FUN!
