My classroom... before and after

With lots of elbow grease and patience, my room is complete (well... I can always tweak certain things).  It took a total of 4 days/36+ hours.  I'm very proud with the end results!

First Day of Kindergarten Frame!

It's complete!  My munchkin is modeling how great it looks! 

Usually on the first day of school, I have all the Kinder Kids take their first photo with some books in the background or the calendar behind them and the mojority of the time those things are cut out or blocked off some how.  So I decided to make a frame they will be able to hold!

Last June, on the last day of school, my coworker was throwing away some wooden panels and I immediately thought of making a frame!

So, with some Gorilla glue, paint, a nice glitter finish, and some cut out letters, I made a light weight and fun frame!

Summer projects and purchases

July and August are really important months for me to prepare as much as I can for my future Kinder Kids.  I find lots of clever ideas during the school year, bookmark them, and revisit them during the summer months. 

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Am I the only one excited about the new school year?  I think so!  I am buying all the supplies, making new centers, and making the "First Day of School" frame!

I want to begin the school year by using this blog at least on a weekly basis, from the construction of the classroom all the way to their glorious graduation.  Perhaps it can be a summary of all the events that occurred during the week.

All posts will have my Kinder Kids faces blurred or have a black line over their eyes.  I am hoping that the insight into our classroom will help my parents understand when their Kinder Kids say "we were playing today" or "nothing".  :o)

FUN DAY! 6-15-12

I must say, Roberto Clemente kids are the luckiest!
Our Fun Day consisted of a dunk tank that held Mr. B, our gym teacher!
We ate cotton candy, cooled off with tasty snow cones, danced around, and played tons of carnival games!
PLUS we had TWO bouncy houses!!!

GRADUATION! 6-21-12

I am so proud on my Kinder Kids!  We have done so much together and now I know you will do your best with your first grade teacher!  We have laughed, we have learned, and we have loved!  Thank you for letting me be your teacher!
