Teacher Magic!

It is that time of the year for those teachers who start school in August.  It is time for us to work on our first magic trick of the year!
It's time to sort through: Boxes, Trash, Filing cabinets, important papers, poster boards, and on and on and on!
I don't know about you but I have to make a mess before I can really get the classroom organized.
I started just a little bit this past week.  I am not nearly done but it is always a work in progress.
Working on magic tricks doesn't come in one day ;/
Here is a sneek peak at what magic I have done so far.
AFTER pictures coming soon.

 Morning Meeting- Letter Cards, Daily Schedule,                                                                              Weather, Days of the Week, Number Chart, How Many? chart,                                                           Calendar, Months of the Year, carpet will go there as well

                                                                                            Letter Wall, Apple chart for words of the week, objectives of the week

 This back wall hurts my eyes!! It is tooooo white!  I usually put poster boards up. this is very bare :( 

I have to work my magic here!

Over the past few weeks I have found so many bloggers with a facebook page!  This really helps keep in touch!
I would love to meet some new people and connect with each other on facebook:
Here is what you need:

• A teacher blog, where you will write a quick little post telling your readers about this Linky Party ~ {Don't forget to grab the Linky Button!}
• A Facebook account
• The Facebook Like button or Facebook badge on your blog
• If you do not have a page on facebook, that's ok, use this linky party as a way to like these pages with your personal facebook account, just to keep in touch :D

I posted my link 2x, The 1st one is a link to my blog and the 2nd is a direct link to my facebook.

One Hundred Fifty Party!!!

AWESOME!! Kinder Fun is celebrating 150 "likes" on Facebook!!! I am really excited!!!

Here is a FEEBIE! Print this out as a book or view it as a presentation on your computer. I have a job assignment for this. The student with the Morning Substitute Teacher Job gets to choose their pointer of their choice and point to the morning posters during our morning music. In addition two songs that I do in the morning have a digital presentation. The student gets to push enter or turn the book during the song for the other students to see.
 The students who get to press enter on the presentation LOVE this job!!! The song is from Dr. Jean. I have posted her links in the past. I hope you can use this!!
It's 28 pages: you can also print, laminate, hole punch and put it into a portfolio folder and pop it into the library, my students use it A LOT a the library.  I usually have to redo this book every year because of the wear and tear.

Kinder Expectations

I hate when this happens!  I saw this poster somewhere and I wrote some notes down and then created one for myself. The problem is... I do not remember who created this poster or which website I saw it on.

 If you made this poster or have a similar one, link up or leave a comment.

Thanks!

(Right click the photo and "save picture as" then print.)

Here are some more.

Kindergarten Take Home Resources

I have been looking for something similar to this for 4 years now. LOL
I wanted an insert for the daily folder that I send home with students.  Many call it the "homework folder"
I wanted a reference guide for the days there is no homework or for the days that homework is less challenging.
This will be my first year using it, I hope it helps students and parents with practicing kinder objectives.

HERE ARE CORRECTIONS AND EDITS TO THE 1st VERSION!!!
