HAPPY SUMMER....almost.

Well, we made it to our 'Kindergarten Move-Up Day' celebrations. I wish that I could post photos of my kinders, I mean first graders to show you how snazzy they looked! There is nothing cuter than my little ones in their Sunday best. We had full suits and puffy skirts galore! Congrats to my smart graduates!

With only 4 days to go until our summer vacation begins, my free time has been spent in a mad dash, packing up to move my classroom to a new school. I HAVE A NEW KINDERGARTEN POSITION!! I am so very excited, yet sad to leave the relationships I have built here at McDaniel. You end up being a bit of a celebrity after teaching kindergarten at the same school for 5 years. I will miss my tiny 'paparazzi' calling my name and stealing hugs as I walk by.

Onto the next chapter in my career. With that in mind, I have been digging into some AMAZING chapters on my summer reading list. First up:

I am planning on revamping my math work stations next year using Debbie Diller's fabulous ideas. If you haven't yet implemented math work stations and guided math into your math block, this is the text to help. If you are like me, you need visuals to really understand what it should look like. Ms. Diller has packed this text with photographs, work station ideas, math literature, and organization and management tips. What a wonderful resource!
