It’s that time again…time to return to the classroom to prepare for the new year. I have many new things I have crafted for my sports theme, and can’t wait to begin putting things in their proper place. Centers are going to be ready to go the first day too! As most teachers, I begin to plan during the summer and have a good idea of what needs to be included in my centers. I have new things to try thanks to Mrs. Hoffer, Differentiated Kindergarten, Teaching With Love and Laughter, and a few things I have made to help me do a better job teaching from our reading series.
I am more than a little excited about the spinner activities from Marsha at A Differentiated Kindergarten. Here is the set I will begin the year with (click on the pic to see them in her store):
Mrs. Hoffer has some great matching games in her store. Just look!
And my wishlisted item…the one I heart so…
TeachingWithLoveandLaughter’s Interactive Notebooks!
And just today I finally cranked out this beginning of the year set that is aligned with WTK (welcome to kindergarten) through Lesson 15 of our Journeys 2014 reading series. Click the pic to see in my store!
Did you know I have had a store at Teacher’s Notebook for a few years? Well, they are having a Christmas in July SALE and with your purchase you can get bonus points to go toward other products! It’s a great sale! My entire store is on sale.
