I have been hovering in kindergarten and first grade. Last year was in first. I also taught in a different state last year & am looking forward to coming back to my home state & school district. I am married (16 years) and have 3 awesome kiddos- 2 have already left the nest *sad face* and the other is in middle school. My dog, Sally, is a rescue that was shot in the eye & shoulder and has turned out to be the most awesome 1-eyed dog in the whole world. Here are some other highlights...</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: large;">I am going back to kindergarten for the upcoming school year.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a wiggly group of kinder kids (who doesn't- ha!) this year so it is super important for me to get them up & moving as much as possible. One of the ways I do this is through my math centers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE to do count the room activities! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My kinders love to work in them, too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an example of a count the room...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the set up-</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLT0EOrX4N9uzwwE9iKxD_UkRHivZT5hh4LKSjg1P0SOcUKUG0A9qWT-OYS8BfKdE3G7kPlJlyPZDDluj7QXEr4VIjwmmFKMKbJv6yLtB642YNsBW93QZRL81npjC-elQef14s1ZZC1i-/s1600/IMG_1136.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLT0EOrX4N9uzwwE9iKxD_UkRHivZT5hh4LKSjg1P0SOcUKUG0A9qWT-OYS8BfKdE3G7kPlJlyPZDDluj7QXEr4VIjwmmFKMKbJv6yLtB642YNsBW93QZRL81npjC-elQef14s1ZZC1i-/s320/IMG_1136.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">First, I put apple erasers into the bags that are labeled a-i to match the recording sheet. *If you don't have apple erasers, no worries, I have included an apple sheet for you that will work perfectly! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm76ctA8_5LrVa5Mua0av_XR7ZnrHxWOHdPd_fOcs4r7DrPl9_RdF7QGJcHJL9KMDHJXRm1RFRj3Px7GDSwqQ7uyW7f3LQdfmBd3Yk3BFQvKMU40S6jCoRsb7EtP4zoU0jQA163DNN-QQ/s1600/IMG_1137.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm76ctA8_5LrVa5Mua0av_XR7ZnrHxWOHdPd_fOcs4r7DrPl9_RdF7QGJcHJL9KMDHJXRm1RFRj3Px7GDSwqQ7uyW7f3LQdfmBd3Yk3BFQvKMU40S6jCoRsb7EtP4zoU0jQA163DNN-QQ/s320/IMG_1137.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then, I put those bags all over my room. It's kind of like a Hide-and-Seek game for the kiddos! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The kiddos find a bag, count the apples, and record the number on the recording sheet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Easy Squeezy & super easy prep! </span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hi there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">It's been a while since I have graced the ole blog! I don't even know if you are still with me...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Anyhow, I have made the transition to my new school home & I am super happy that I have made the decision. I haven't been blogging this year because I have really been focusing on my teaching & my family. I very much feel like a first year teacher even though I'm actually in year 11. This new school is just so different that I decided to put everything I know aside & learn with the new teacher mindset. It has been a growing & learning experience and I wouldn't trade it. I didn't realize that I had this level of teaching in me! I mean I have learned a whole new way to teach kiddos. I have always had my class on grade level & prepared for first grade, but this year I have my kinders on track to be G/H/I level readers by the end! I am still in disbelief!! Don't get me wrong...I have been busting my tail! Ha!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Anyway, as promised, I have updated my memory book. It REALLLLY needed the facelift. Just click the pic & it will take you right to it! All you have to do is re-download it if you already own it to get the updates. Otherwise, you can stop by my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JensKinderKids/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf" target="_blank">FB page</a> where I am giving one away on Friday. Or, you can get one for $2.50. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello bloggy friends! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been gone for a little while because I have been super stressed out! After much prayer, thought, consideration, etc. I decided that this year would be my last year at my current school. I have been there for 10 years & I feel like I just need a change of scenery & a new path to follow. I will miss all my students, the staff, & the families that I have come to know & love. It is super hard to say good-bye to the school that I have given such a big piece of my heart to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHsR0lYMO2p75QBDP898xLsXQzqJGzkW-_YSzF1yt497bw7cYP0hHyx6QiFI-5RyL1tl7Jr3G_-xvpB5bhJolKIlHxTvUqnvsSW3bcbJWUTj5xcIQ6a4Eg5ZvnSpHBuB-amOt91FgrlzQ5/s1600/images+%25282%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="79" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHsR0lYMO2p75QBDP898xLsXQzqJGzkW-_YSzF1yt497bw7cYP0hHyx6QiFI-5RyL1tl7Jr3G_-xvpB5bhJolKIlHxTvUqnvsSW3bcbJWUTj5xcIQ6a4Eg5ZvnSpHBuB-amOt91FgrlzQ5/s320/images+%25282%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But, change is good, right!?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the things that I am looking forward to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Growing & learning as a teacher!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Making new friends :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. I'm moving back to KINDERGARTEN!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started moving 10 years worth of teaching stuff to my new classroom. You don't realize how much you have until you have to pack it up & physically move it. Needless to say, there is a lot of purging going on! Do I really need those file folder math center games? Yes, I still had some of those oldies stuck in the back of the closet. Hello Mr. Trashcan! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to start this new adventure. I cannot wait to blog about all my new experiences- good & bad. Ha! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So this year my kiddos have really taken to writing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I mean REALLY!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They LOVE it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They love informational, small moment, opinion, choice, you name it. They have really great ideas & have really embraced writing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> but...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They are dropping the ball with conventions! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I don't know how this happened. I'm teaching all the skills to them...capitals, punctuation, spacing, blah, blah, blah...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They are just not havin' it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They just seem to disregard the need for any sort of convention. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So, I'm busting out my good ole friend that I used with pretty good success when I taught kindergarten.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> It looks like this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gzlBaCWqIO75gOMKUFzgepkE-By0qP8tW34_uFwr0lm884m_qtyRGX3OISDwRSsurUrheaMhciBMKYiBb3UGMj3OhEklEIYChSqhlxC44L2I3R78Vo0xaJ3LXAnmQgzAnPhfhsKmVKRh/s1600/writing+checklist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gzlBaCWqIO75gOMKUFzgepkE-By0qP8tW34_uFwr0lm884m_qtyRGX3OISDwRSsurUrheaMhciBMKYiBb3UGMj3OhEklEIYChSqhlxC44L2I3R78Vo0xaJ3LXAnmQgzAnPhfhsKmVKRh/s640/writing+checklist.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">It's nothing new! In fact, I've sent it to a gajillion of you over the years! I get emails for this every.single.day! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">It's nothing special, but you WILL have to do some lessons on how to use a checklist. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">If you do it correctly this can be a very handy tool for you & your students! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Let me know what you think!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Happy Teaching!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hi Bloggy friends!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I have REALLLYYY been missing you lately!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I have had more than my fair share of crazy happening lately & I am hoping that I can get back to blogging more now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Anyway, enough about me...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Do you students </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">LOVE </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">using the dotters as much as mine do??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I am sooo over winter, but I made this little ditty to wrap up any & all winter-ish activities for this year. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">They have to roll one die, add ten, & dot the answer. If they finish dotting before time is up I let them color the picture. This is one center that is super engaging & keeps them pretty quiet as I work with small groups.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello Bloggy Friends!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I have officially made it to the end of the first quarter, finished report cards, and had conferences with all my parents! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Whew...that was super quick!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">In this post I want to show you something that made mid-terms, report cards, and conferences a lot less painful/stressful/grueling/etc.... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here goes nothing...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">One of my MAJOR goals this year is for my kiddos to take accountability for their own learning & behavior. I wanted it to be something that would:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Be extremely easy to manage. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Be kid friendly.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Give me good data.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Enter the data folder...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xdH_Hf6J53ktNbCerZ59ers0X3RJTeIrLvWmkYNDXGEv3CZwnBxf1yAOaNoSXcuP1qmai65vzst1bW0x2UnPh6bULkUY7YIrIRgnUOjRtlAsDckJksKmI7oPqGukKMwwpNkIoA2vWB-h/s1600/20150816_093042%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xdH_Hf6J53ktNbCerZ59ers0X3RJTeIrLvWmkYNDXGEv3CZwnBxf1yAOaNoSXcuP1qmai65vzst1bW0x2UnPh6bULkUY7YIrIRgnUOjRtlAsDckJksKmI7oPqGukKMwwpNkIoA2vWB-h/s640/20150816_093042%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"> Each kiddo has one of these and having them on the file folder saves me a lot of paper clutter & paper shuffling when I need to find a certain page or student. Disclaimer: I am super OCD when it comes to clutter! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_1DSwPLrctsFG89IBk11Gr5RzKD_SeWCW-Wr-s8TAtddkt78aOx9IuCUkpTZD1dimCaa5d-nFCg0a6a9DNTniyQF8LEEuZyoBQjSHCXCOFYZssfI_uhe3VKkFL11SuvTO8ShlSqDBsfi/s1600/20150814_085759%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_1DSwPLrctsFG89IBk11Gr5RzKD_SeWCW-Wr-s8TAtddkt78aOx9IuCUkpTZD1dimCaa5d-nFCg0a6a9DNTniyQF8LEEuZyoBQjSHCXCOFYZssfI_uhe3VKkFL11SuvTO8ShlSqDBsfi/s640/20150814_085759%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"> I just go here to my handy dandy hanging folder pocket thingy. Each kid's folder is bright & easy to find (and in ABC order...did I mention the OCD?). I just grab the folder & the kiddo & we get down to business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, do you wanna see inside the folder????</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Heck yeah, you do!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here is the front of the folder. It has the BIG skills that I will teach in math this 1st quarter. This is not all I will teach in 1st quarter, it's just the meat of the quarter that I think is the most important. I pre-assess them at the beginning of the quarter & I will assess again in the middle & at the end so that they can see the growth that they made! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">It's so cool! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This sheet will change by the quarter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0zDIOwcs4Y_GS7tS9iad6w2q5Zfwr574Lln37gt-eJZNaJZs5Jz7if4gZWtUcRRrFn4VHx1Knya9kc5veqeBpN27EAtgAmLXnd7HZqFrwiCfY3jaghoP7iW6P8EW6jG57R_Zn4yCJkg3/s1600/20150816_093130%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0zDIOwcs4Y_GS7tS9iad6w2q5Zfwr574Lln37gt-eJZNaJZs5Jz7if4gZWtUcRRrFn4VHx1Knya9kc5veqeBpN27EAtgAmLXnd7HZqFrwiCfY3jaghoP7iW6P8EW6jG57R_Zn4yCJkg3/s640/20150816_093130%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Inside the folder is literacy. Reading on the left & writing on the right. The reading sheet will stay in the folder the entire year. There is no need to change it. The writing sheet will change with each new writing unit. Right now we are doing personal narratives. At the bottom of the writing sheet we write in the goals that the student needs to work on. She decided on these goals by herself based on her own data...now, that's what I'm talking about!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"> The weekly behavior page is on the back. On Friday, each child comes to me really quick to look at their behavior for the week. The STUDENT decides which face he deserves. Then, we talk about ways to improve. That's what I write in the comments so we can remember from week to week. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The pictures are from the 1st 4 weeks of school. When I got to the end of the quarter I had all the data right there to make filling out my mid-terms & report cards a breeze. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Mainly, I LOOOOVEEE the fact that the students are super involved in this process. Anyone can come to my room & ask one of my students about reading, writing, math, or behavior goals & the students can either tell them or they can show them the folder. It is awesome!! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So here's the packet...my sweet friend Kim from <a href="http://mrsjjitterbugs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. J's Jitterbugs</a> created it! </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">She said that I can give one away for FREEEEE!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">OMG..you could win this baby!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Hello bloggy friends!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Today I am talking math with ya! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">At my school the name of the game is NO WORKSHEETS! And, yes, recording sheets are considered work sheets! I don't even try to argue...it's not worth it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Really though it's not all that bad. I rarely used sheets in math anyway so there weren't many tears shed on this one! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">So, you ask...what DO you do for math centers??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Here are a few of my math centers (please ignore the fact that some are winter...I've been a slacker taking pics this year. You'll still get the idea...)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Let me start by saying that I do the SAME centers over & over...gasp!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">No, really...I just change the difficulty, theme, standard, whatever to keep the centers feeling like they are fresh and new. This is a huge WIN for me because I <u><b><i>never</i></b></u> have to reteach how to do a center after they have learned the game. I do 4/5 centers a week & the kiddos know how to play 10 different centers. This is how I can keep things feeling new but the kiddos know how to play them! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> This is a roll & ___ game. It may be roll & add 1, add 10, take away 1, take away 2...the list goes on. BUT, because they already know the premise of the game I can change it to whatever I see that they need & they automatically know how to play it.(I think that this game was actually a "Mittens PLUS 10" game...can you say typo?)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> I am a huge fan of getting the kiddos moving so I usually have a "____ the Room" center. It may be add the room, count the room, subtract the room, solve the room....again, the possibilities are endless. I can change it to whatever my kiddos need. Below you can see a "Measure the Room" center. I teach them how to record their work in their math journals so NO WORKSHEETS! Win!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Holy cow...domino centers can last forever! This time I had them doing commutative property of addition.

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Hello bloggy friends!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I hope that everyone's school year is off to a smooth start!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">We have been in school for 6 weeks now, so we are sailing right along.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Anyhow~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">One of my personal goals this year is to promote more parent involvement both in & out of the classroom. Let me remind you that I work in a high priority school where most of my students are on free lunch (not reduced...free). They are coming from sad & unfortunate home situations that you & I would probably not survive in....seriously. Many times the only meals that they get are the free breakfast, lunch, & snack that school provides to them. Sooooo, I want to get the parents involved as much as I can & show these kiddos that I care about their learning, but, more importantly, their parents care about their learning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Here are <b>some</b> of the things that I already do to try to get the parents involved:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I send "Good News" cards to the students in the mail. This way the parents can see some of the positive things that are going on with their kiddos.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Anytime I send home something that needs to be signed, I offer a treat to those that bring it back to me. This ensures that at least one grown up has seen the info coming home and, hopefully, taken the time to look over it. I usually get 100% returned.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I call the parents when something good happens with the kiddo. Although, many times the phones are out of service...I still give it a shot! </span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I send a bilingual newsletter so that they can be aware of what we are working on in class or other school info.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">There are other things that I do...but, let's get on with the program.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Well, this year I have decided to start the monthly family project. This way the families can work together to create a class project. I am hoping that this will give my kiddos a little special attention as the families work together being creative with the projects. I wanted something that would be simple & fun at the same time!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Enter these little cuties from my bestie Jen Ross:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">The "project" was to decorate your apple with things you like about school or things that you have learned so far in school! I was super impressed with their hard work! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> Hello Bloggy Friends! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">We have been in school for 3 1/2 weeks now & we are finally easing in, following procedures, in the swing of routines, and just ready to rock & roll our way through first grade! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">One of my favorite Social Studies units to teach is neighborhoods, communities, & schools. We talk about what each one is & who the leaders are for each one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I start the unit with a little "All About Me" tie in. We make our self portraits to introduce ourselves as part of our classroom neighborhood. I looovvve the directed drawing portraits that are in the packet from First Grade Blue Skies. You can find it <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Directed-Drawings-for-the-Entire-School-Year-A-Growing-Bundle-1808779" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Then we make our classroom neighborhood. This is also a little geometry tie in because it uses so many different shapes. I just love the way that these turned out. They add so much color to the back of my classroom.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These signs hang over my table groups. They all have a different color & shape. I love to squeeze in learning whenever I can. I may call them by color, by shape, or by attributes of their shapes...oh, the possibilities....</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello Bloggy Friends!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Well, it's that time in the program where I have to retire the yoga pants & t-shirts during the week and bring out the teacher clothes! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Yes, I am officially back to school! Ahhhhh~ where did my summer go??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Today I am blogging about my favorite teacher clothes! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipATN6a6VNfi5Vr_14ZV06gjw-AHgDOe2ej6evYcN60N_LdgwD4v8ar59T6rc9SiYBl3SoU29h5ZscddQX2vpg6fKAQAVuA0Yzx9XXA_b8fIyGxZkQCQsINlFRhIBDe3ncVWIBq1N-rZbt/s1600/polkadot+stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipATN6a6VNfi5Vr_14ZV06gjw-AHgDOe2ej6evYcN60N_LdgwD4v8ar59T6rc9SiYBl3SoU29h5ZscddQX2vpg6fKAQAVuA0Yzx9XXA_b8fIyGxZkQCQsINlFRhIBDe3ncVWIBq1N-rZbt/s400/polkadot+stuff.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">You should know that I do not dress super fancy at work & I NEVER wear heels!! I am waaaay too uncoordinated for that! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">do</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"> try to dress professionally while still being as comfy as possible. There is never a time that you want to be up there teaching & have on that one pair of pants that give you a constant wedgie! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Am I right???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, here are some of my go to's for comfort...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for chevron maxi skirt" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyZohlBLrd0w7lPznaQAflGwDXiozYu5BSNWFdFuUUcCzbMi3i" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I loooove a maxi skirt. They are the most comfortable things EVER. They look nice, can be dressed up or dressed down, and you can still sit on the floor with your kiddos- which I do a LOT. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">My sparkly Toms are some of my favorite shoes...they feel like you're wearing slippers. Although, my friends tell me that they are out and Tieks are in. So, I may need to snag a pair of those! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">On Fridays we get to wear jeans & teacher shirts....it is AWESOME! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I wear tons of cardigans- I have them in just about every color! They are so versatile & look nice. Not to mention that my room is like an icebox & I am FREEZING without one! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for scarf" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT0MMip7Wf6TOaI6BHsY_8fNZ015fnIj0AopzbLmGFvN1OHRFSE" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I also love to jazz things up with a cute little scarf. I don't usually end up with it on by the end of the day though because they always seem to get in the way when I am working with the kiddos! That's ok...they are still super cute & add a nice touch to the outfit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for women's khaki pants" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeTUC6ojLrz9I6uUf8S0POW7zaqXJfXJHaP4H2ftMJssVu5mwu" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">And who doesn't have their go-to pair of khakis. You know that pair that you put on when you have HAD it! You are bloated, you just want to be comfy all day, and well...you know....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Throw these babies on with a polo & your Nike's & all is good! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, that's it! I'm all about being COMFORTABLE when I am teaching! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">What about you?? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">What's your teacher clothing must haves??</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello Blog Friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today I am blogging about classroom jobs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Work it!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3imoBL2A4vHH0F4MGAeyUNqCk6t61BbH9cIfKUmrD2GbvctlGE5MGj0LfsMQwJjfsULFWN7d4zlGWVDszF_y1YVyPyet94hupDSyBKVe6TSaxDJNapyLN0WH_gQEt74TXWRaKK0EUL4Xv/s1600/polkadot+stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3imoBL2A4vHH0F4MGAeyUNqCk6t61BbH9cIfKUmrD2GbvctlGE5MGj0LfsMQwJjfsULFWN7d4zlGWVDszF_y1YVyPyet94hupDSyBKVe6TSaxDJNapyLN0WH_gQEt74TXWRaKK0EUL4Xv/s400/polkadot+stuff.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have <i>always</i> had classroom jobs for my kiddos. They LOVE to have a job & contribute to our classroom community. To be honest, I LOVE to have the extra help with things around the room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't usually have a job for every student...but, now that we are using Conscious Discipline, every student gets a job so that they will feel like they are a part of the school family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, managing 20 jobs can be a bit <strike>cuh-ray-zee</strike> overwhelming! So, I picked jobs that I genuinely need & that are VERY important to the functioning of my classroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's a rundown:</span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. <b><u>Line Leader</u></b>- duh, someones gotta get us where we're going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2. <b><u>Door Holder</u></b>- don't let the door hit ya....well, you know!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">3. <b><u>Trash Helper</u></b>- This person helps with trash in the room & in the cafeteria.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">4. <b><u>Chair Stacker</u></b>- stack those chairs at the end of the day!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">5. <b><u>Snack Helper</u></b>- our school provides snack. This person goes to get it & passes it out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">6. <b><u>Recess Bag</u></b>- carries out the bag of balls, chalk, jump ropes, etc...we gotta play!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">7. <b><u>Lights</u></b>- another fave...who knew flipping the light switch could be so exhilarating!?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">8. <b><u>Computer Kid</u></b>- turn 'em on, sign 'em in, & at the end of the day shut 'em down! This one takes a very responsible kiddo!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">9. <b><u>Teacher Helper</u></b>- this kiddo is at my beck and call! There's no telling what this kiddo will have to do! I do make sure that this kiddo has stuff to do every day! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">10.<b><u>Table Washer</u></b>- washes those lunch tables...also wipes down class tables when we have spills & such.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">11. <b><u>Fork Collector</u></b>- collects everyone's forks at lunch & gives them to the dishwasher...gross but they LOVE this one.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">12. <b><u>Sweeper</u></b>- sweeps the cafeteria after lunch & sweeps the classroom at the end of the day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">13. <b><u>Paper Passer</u></b>- another fave...passing out paper to everyone is AWESOME!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">14. <b><u>Mailbox Manager</u></b>- this one gets everyone's agenda & homework folder out of the mailboxes & puts them on student desks so that I can fill them out before Operation Pack Up! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">15. <b><u>Calendar</u></b>- before the bell rings in the morning, this kiddo puts the new date on the calendar AND...wait for it...gets to write it ON. THE. BOARD!! WOWZA!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">16. <b><u>Heart Helper</u></b>- This one passes out the class hearts before morning meeting. Read about that <a href="http://jenskinderkids.blogspot.com/2015/01/reflections.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">17. <b><u>Cubby Kid</u></b>- This kid takes care of one of my biggest pet peeves!! He makes sure that everyone's backpacks, jackets, etc are IN the cubbies...not on the floor, not on the counter, IN the cubbies! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">18. <b><u>Sink Cleaner</u></b>- We eat breakfast in the classroom so the sink gets GROSS! This person cleans it, strains all the cereal (gross, right?!), & makes sure that the soap & paper towels are stocked.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">19. <u><b>Librarian</b></u>- I am super picky about this job! This kiddo makes sure that the leveled library is on point! She has to re-file all the books that are re-shopped everyday back into their proper place. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">20. <b><u>Caboose</u></b>- Someone's gotta close the door when we leave the room, right! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, that's a run down of my jobs...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I rotate the jobs each Monday so that everyone gets a new job each week. It's really simple, works really well for me, & it is STRESS free! Before ANY jobs are assigned I make sure that I have REALLLLY taught the expectations & procedures for each job. If I see that a job is not being done to my liking I stop the presses & reteach it right then & there! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, that's it!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you've hung around this long you will be glad to know that there is a FREEBIE in it for you!! </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello bloggy friends!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Yesterday I blogged about items that I use to help the kiddos refocus & calm themselves down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">You can read about that <a href="http://jenskinderkids.blogspot.com/2015/06/calm-down.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I thought I would piggyback off of that post & talk about breathing for a bit.</span></div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6207016768122429498" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6207016768122429498" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, with Conscious Discipline we do a LOT of deep breathing activities to refocus & calm ourselves down. We also do the breathing activities when we are stressed or overwhelmed or just need to give ourselves a little break. I find it to be helpful to the kids that will actually do it. I still have a few hold outs that aren't crazy about stopping to take the time to breathe deeply 3 times to calm down...I'm gonna keep working on them though! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I love to find fun breathing techniques that my kiddos love & will engage in...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">One of our class favorites is "Pizza Breathing".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here is a quick explanation of how to pizza breathe~</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">1. Hold palms facing up in front of your chin as if you are holding a slice of pizza.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2. Take a deep breath in through your nose as if you are smelling the pizza. Make sure you are breathing in for 3 seconds.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">3. Exhale as if you are blowing the pizza to cool it down. This is also calming in that you can feel the breath going across your palms.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">**Make sure to repeat these steps 3 times.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">What about you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Have you tried breathing techniques in your class</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">to help the kiddos refocus?</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Hello blog friends!</span></div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6207016768122429498" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Many of you know that my school switched to Conscious Discipline last school year. One of the big components is teaching students how to calm themselves down so that they can think before they react & do something that may not be the best choice.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">One of the things that I do is to use calming items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> I have made plenty of these...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> (this is a 12 oz water bottle)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">This is one of my faves because you have to try to get all the sand down to the bottom! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I think it will be super calming! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">All of these items settle after about a minute to a minute & a half. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">**REMEMBER... if you are using things like this in your class you will have to teach the procedure for each one! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I will not put any item out until my students know exactly how to use them & what my expectation is for the item!! </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">What about you? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Do you use calming aids with your students??</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Hellloooooo bloggy friends!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">I am back from the beach feeling recharged & rejuvenated...ahhhh!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">I have 3 weeks until I am back in the teacher routine! Yikes!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Of course, when I got home I see all of the Target posts with the awesome teacher finds & just couldn't resist heading over there to see what the fuss was all about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Big Mistake!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">I ended up with all this...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicj3667rYA9-T7HiYjnEMam2P53Uq_iNcFS44KKZO7T64T8g8KhCQl4z02IAL2RXbOWfStCsyhhKygOwf-t9Ul-8iJBtomC2UQ6rbPzf5EA1DNX_Q8rqAZGTR77xAkDCNC6-HusYzvyvLl/s1600/2015-06-26_20.31.33%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicj3667rYA9-T7HiYjnEMam2P53Uq_iNcFS44KKZO7T64T8g8KhCQl4z02IAL2RXbOWfStCsyhhKygOwf-t9Ul-8iJBtomC2UQ6rbPzf5EA1DNX_Q8rqAZGTR77xAkDCNC6-HusYzvyvLl/s640/2015-06-26_20.31.33%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Here are my thoughts...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">1. I am digging the sentence games. I got the K-1 set & the 1-2 set. I know I will need them for differentiation this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">2. How awesome are the orange pocket charts? I LOVE the color orange so I had to get them. I have NO IDEA how I will use them, but I'll figure something out! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">3. I couldn't resist the rainbow colored paper trays...I was a little bummed that they didn't have purple though. Oh well...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">4. Who couldn't use the rainbow colored post its & notepad? I am forever needing these little gems!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">5. My calendar desperately needed an update so I snagged the cute monthly headers for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">All in all, I am pretty pleased with my Target finds. They had sooooo much more, but I just didn't need it...imagine that!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">How about you? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Have you had any great teacher finds this summer?? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Please share!! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hello Bloggy Friends! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">In my last post I mentioned that I LOVE for my kiddos to learn through games. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I thought I would introduce you to a game that I play with my kiddos that is really versatile & can be played with any subject. My aunt, who used to be a teacher, taught me this game. She used it in 4th grade & I have used it in Kindergarten & First Grade. It is really simple to play & seriously fun for the kiddos! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Have I built the suspense enough?!? Ha!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I have always called the game "Up Down". I'm sure that it goes by many others & I want you to know that I DID NOT invent this game. If you know who did, please let me know so that I can give credit where credit is due! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Up Down</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">To play students will need a white board, marker, & eraser. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">They will need to be seated at their desk/table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Like I said, this can be played with ANY subject. For the sake of understanding the directions I'm going to use letter ID in the example.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">The teacher will call out a letter. Students will write the letter on their white boards. After 5 seconds (you can decide it you need more or less time) the teacher says "Boards Up" & the students have to hold their boards facing the teacher above their heads. The teacher will then <b>quickly</b> scan the boards & tell each student "Up" or "Down" according to the answer on the board. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivudU6swGgTAOPDkvE-vkd97u-TrBVqWdRabwGd1FzirAPaWbd7VJx7KPQAxSh85AGZ6qtGVE1AVPgLAuVPYYBphYNtMnLzNNj0GZiYww4n40xV35hUGB7xUu6FptCAXZdJghLv_9hwHZB/s1600/20150616_174141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivudU6swGgTAOPDkvE-vkd97u-TrBVqWdRabwGd1FzirAPaWbd7VJx7KPQAxSh85AGZ6qtGVE1AVPgLAuVPYYBphYNtMnLzNNj0GZiYww4n40xV35hUGB7xUu6FptCAXZdJghLv_9hwHZB/s400/20150616_174141.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"> (OK, so he didn't hold it above his head, but in a room full of kids that's the only way to quickly see all the boards.)</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">If the answer is correct the students move UP. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzsjm6ax1ZckuFcAVDZYdUekr-vyYRsUK_CL1xQWVMeKlmJNQnyHgz-yldAp1n6RxLZVT5tvKyJ9LlibGZh5ajQsm7BXuvYR0lyjoSVQtMwXtHtJU-Lwgv8T_v-uicxJ21S0Dw8UGg1Gy/s1600/20150616_174233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzsjm6ax1ZckuFcAVDZYdUekr-vyYRsUK_CL1xQWVMeKlmJNQnyHgz-yldAp1n6RxLZVT5tvKyJ9LlibGZh5ajQsm7BXuvYR0lyjoSVQtMwXtHtJU-Lwgv8T_v-uicxJ21S0Dw8UGg1Gy/s400/20150616_174233.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Yes, moving UP means that the students are now sitting on top of their desk **GASP** Can we really do that! Yes, you can!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">If the answer is incorrect the students move DOWN. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimyHxZFWyWdF2NWqTSjlMZogzq1dCuPYJdXk2q7kXYm-whpnit5yVNPHibdQC1msPNa-C9omN1NntJOU7Zw8PZCRlGHNxJ_7vClnZ1RpJy4FJcw-6j-1T0VxYtP7DbBWIsm8k3kVbkhd1h/s1600/20150616_174248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimyHxZFWyWdF2NWqTSjlMZogzq1dCuPYJdXk2q7kXYm-whpnit5yVNPHibdQC1msPNa-C9omN1NntJOU7Zw8PZCRlGHNxJ_7vClnZ1RpJy4FJcw-6j-1T0VxYtP7DbBWIsm8k3kVbkhd1h/s400/20150616_174248.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Moving down means that the student moves down to the floor. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Throughout the course of the game students will be moving UP & DOWN. The student that is on the floor will move back to the chair when he gets a correct answer. The student sitting on the desk will move down to the chair with an incorrect answer. A second incorrect answer will get that student to the floor. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">**You will want to sprinkle in questions that are very easy so that your low students will not stay on the floor! It is a great confidence builder when they get to sit on top of the desk. Likewise, you will want to have some difficult questions for your high flyers to knock them off the desks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">This game can be played whole group or small group. I have done it both ways & it was great fun either way. I have played it by calling out spelling words, math facts, land forms, shapes, numbers, letters, blends, digraphs, showing time on a clock, calling out rules & they write yes/no if what I say is or isn't following a rule...I mean, the possibilities are ENDLESS! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Try the game! I promise that your kiddos will love it! </span></div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Let me know if I need to explain anything to make it a little clearer! </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Hello Friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Here I go with another reflection post...look at me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Today's post will be about math. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSzMk0XejU5mrJmYYdB6Jo4Gpm4YUU2d2lhR2l3z834Pcl772-SNs8LO7pQmYOxgbcpLkAGdABhfQjXMckzNBNuJv0lzuYxOGBW9d5UgUsuvUik48RhT2UVAjvxWptTapkRILRBGjA0OT/s1600/polkadot+stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSzMk0XejU5mrJmYYdB6Jo4Gpm4YUU2d2lhR2l3z834Pcl772-SNs8LO7pQmYOxgbcpLkAGdABhfQjXMckzNBNuJv0lzuYxOGBW9d5UgUsuvUik48RhT2UVAjvxWptTapkRILRBGjA0OT/s640/polkadot+stuff.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Math is my favorite subject to teach & I think that I do a pretty good job getting my kiddos on grade level. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Here are my reflections:</span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION is the key!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Kids LOVE to play math games!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">I am not great at spiraling, but I did get much better this year.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">To address the above I started to create my own math centers that were based on the CCSS, but, more importantly, on the needs of my classroom. Since I change my math centers pretty frequently I knew that 2 things had to occur...#1 they had to be centers that could be printed using NO COLORED INK & #2 they had to be centers that were completely independent (repetitive). I make VERY small changes, but the centers remain engaging & stimulating to the students. So, I came up with these math packets...</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPod2R1kh-X55wg06hpTdth3Q06ZWolrOe7eLmLpOAKaRj8AYFZA_Up4OY_M5m9TqNNO0XVgkvzMrCFboxlwMRzayNeRYsiL4UAkBmTEoSQw6UZO2UtdJ85HgAQPCY157vu6YQTNaF0eQ/s1600/math+center+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPod2R1kh-X55wg06hpTdth3Q06ZWolrOe7eLmLpOAKaRj8AYFZA_Up4OY_M5m9TqNNO0XVgkvzMrCFboxlwMRzayNeRYsiL4UAkBmTEoSQw6UZO2UtdJ85HgAQPCY157vu6YQTNaF0eQ/s640/math+center+blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
</div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">*I am making more of these! I wanted to make sure that they would meet the needs of my students! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">The activities in these packets are engaging, fun, competitive, independent, spiraled, and REPETITIVE! I used them in my class this year & they were always a hit. I think that the kiddos liked the fact that they looked new each time, but were played in the same way. Once I taught the activities my kiddos were good to go for the <u><b><i>rest of the year.</i></b></u> It was super-awesome for me to be able to work with my small groups & not have to worry about the rest of the class <strike>goofing off </strike>being off task!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">My centers & my homework are spiraled to ensure that my kiddos are keeping all the math strands fresh. I have worked hard to spiral this year & I know that I will have to work even harder this next school year! :) </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hi Blog Friends~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I am doing a series of posts on my reflections on this last school year (2014-2015).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I am doing it mostly for me, but I thought that some of you may benefit from it as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJb7Mx-mC_t8xuHhsdAjA2CcVxYHwJUp-qdCqOqRfhWTj1EXGgiEtg_emVK4NiZIkvcWJt1yBBy-tsAMMxN8BEwVTgs3gY2GigxYchvkqy_Zt8wZl9GV-Ts9d6ajcOF25iaYX530ujJcdr/s1600/CD+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJb7Mx-mC_t8xuHhsdAjA2CcVxYHwJUp-qdCqOqRfhWTj1EXGgiEtg_emVK4NiZIkvcWJt1yBBy-tsAMMxN8BEwVTgs3gY2GigxYchvkqy_Zt8wZl9GV-Ts9d6ajcOF25iaYX530ujJcdr/s400/CD+pic.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, reflection #1 has to do with BEHAVIOR...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">My school started Conscious Discipline right after the Winter Break. Here are my thoughts:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">It is a LOT of work!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I like the philosophy of CD & I think it will be a good move for my school. It's just going to take a little time. My principal keeps reminding me that it is a marathon & not a sprint.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">It has some <b>very</b> valuable components that are perfect for my Title 1, high poverty, high ESL population school. I LOVE the problem solving skills that I am instilling, morning meetings, rituals, school family, & building a safe environment. My kiddos need <b>ALL</b> of these things. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">It is a LOT of work!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I am glad that I will start it at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year instead of in the middle of the year because I think that it will be easier to start with them from Day 1!</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">That being said, I have been thinking (& searching Pinterest) for things that I would like to incorporate to support the CD philosophy in my classroom. Here are some that I especially liked.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">(You can click any of the pics to be taken to the original Pin)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/139541288431575258/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="Family Tree for Classroom... Good way to build a sense of classroom community by having each child fill out a piece of the tree." height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/66/dd/90/66dd907b9ae8148f0c7bec4763f2ec29.jpg" width="305" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I am thinking that I will have a tree similar to this in my SAFE PLACE with pics of my kiddos & their families. That way when they go there to calm down or to just feel safe, they will have something comforting to look at. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/139541288430666184/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="A true apology has three parts. #quotes #apology" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/84/72/3c/84723c82725dbacbe07f41895bd48b85.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The 3 parts of an apology! I worked REALLY hard to instill this in my kiddos this year. I am definitely incorporating it next year! It is a SUPER skill for all of us to have!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/140948663314642336/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><img alt="Chart for beginning of year--I tell my kids to problem solve all the time, so they can be more independent!" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/92/86/84/928684101f762e6a53e7e76b8556f7ab.jpg" width="298" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I am planning on making lots of charts like this- mine will need more pics! They just need to learn HOW to solve problems. They have never been taught & I think that this is a valuable tool not only in first grade, but for their entire lives! :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So, there you have it!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"> If you have any other suggestions, comments, information...PLEASE leave me a comment or shoot me an email! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Thanks friends!! :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It is SUMMER VACAY!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Wooooooo Hoooooo!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Can you tell that I'm a tiny bit excited?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I'm not gonna lie this has been a <strike>crappy</strike> challenging year. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried, my kiddos were just plain mean. I know that sounds terrible, but the mixture of kids & the fact that many of them were related made for a <strike>ridiculous </strike>challenging year! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">But- I stuck with them & we made it! ALL of them passed & will be going to second grade, so I guess there is a bright spot! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">With that being said, I have been doing some reflecting with my friend, Kim from <a href="http://mrsjjitterbugs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. J's Jitterbugs</a> (GO TO HER BLOG!!) & we are collaborating on some stuff you are gonna LOVE! </span></div>
