1. We are in full testing mode for reading and I had a sub on Thursday! I do not like having a sub especially 11 days in! I tried to be as organized as possible and it helped that I was in the building testing, a little. For the most part my kiddos were great! A few had issues, but there are always some. It was a great practice for my next sub which is on Wednesday already! Already have a required training for the year...YIKES!
2. We did a week of bus safety! Most of the week was boring rules, but today we did a fun mini book! Each page had them cutting and gluing pictures with bus safety rules.
3. After our books, we did a roll, add, and color!

4. In math we are working on counting and ordering numbers!
5. So I just found out I can spend $7000 on my classroom through a grant my school got!! The only requirement is that we order 4 iPads (AMAZING)...so that leaves me with over $4,000! The possibilities are endless! What would YOU order!?
OMG. You can't be serious! $7,000???? Guess how much we got? $0
ReplyDeleteYep, so just to recap- 25 kids. Super high need. No help. $0.
Ha! I'm so happy for you though, boo boo!

Only the 1st and 2nd grade teachers get the money this year! Last year was kinder! I totally just lucked out!!
Delete$7000 dollars? Wow! I can't imagine. New musical instruments, art materials, invite local artists and musicians in , technology, field trips, new bikes, sand toys, more field trips. You are going to have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSO many great ideas! I am already having fun looking at everything!
DeleteI am with Irene.....we get $0 and have high need students in our building. Yeah for the money though. I would totally build up my classroom library with a lot of non-fiction text (in order to align with common core) and I would use some money on technology such as apps for the iPads or even some games for the smartboard (if you have one). I am excited to find out what you will use the money for!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Great ideas!! Can't wait to get everything!
DeleteI read this post at school and immediately added number stickers to my unifix cubes! Such a simple idea, but I love it! We'll be using those this week! Thanks!!
