Happy Veteran's Day

One Month down and Nine to go!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe that we have been in school 20 something days.  The kids are great and so is my assistant.  We are learning and growing each day. We have made it through 90+ degree heat in the classroom, rain for a whole week and not geeting outside to lots of hugs and smiles each day.  The smiles and looks on their faces it what makes each day worthwhile.

New Room

Well the day we all have been waiting for will soon be here.  The room is filled with boxes everywhere.  Hours of work await me and those who work with me. I wonder what the final results will be of this!!!!!

The Simplicity if it all!!

It was very hot today, nearly 92.  So to help the children cool of without getting drenched, I filled a squirt bottle and sprayed them as they went down the slide.  Well let me tell you, that was the best thing going. It was like a water ride at Kennnywood!  As we often discover it is the simplest things that they like the best!!They did this for at least 20 minutes.  I stopped counting the refills in the bottle after 5!!!!

First Week of School

What are some favorite first week activities that you have done in your pre school room?  I teach 3-5 in one group so at times that can be a challenge. Since I am in a new room I do not have to worry about repeating activities- although that can be a good thing at this age.

The New School Year

The new school year will soon be here.  Where has the summer gone.  I have started to gather materials for the first month of school and began planning in my mind.  However as I start to do that my min dbecomes full and overloaded.  There is just so much that I want to do and I have yet to meet the kids so that I can plan more effectively.  I think that even teachers get that "back to school feeling".  We are excited and nervous just like the children. I will be setting up a new room again and working with a new assistant again.  So I want to get a lot done, yet I want their input as well- but yet it needs to get done.  I want to be 100% prepared the first day and not 99%.
