Months song

Here are the centers that my kiddos were working on last week! One-to-one counting with teen numbers and tally marks. Counting tallies by 5s. Sequencing numbers Counting and adding Subtraction Literacy Centers: The cards were inserted into my favorite foam dice, they rolled and wrote the beginning blend, along the way they “gathered” pieces to build their snowman! Reading CVC words and building snowmen. Sorting snowmen and CVC words. Constructing sentences with snowflakes. Sequencing the…

About a month ago, I was listing to a rebroadcast on Doctor’s Radio (Sirius/XM), and they were discussing challenging children/students. It was late at night, and my family was on a four hour roadtrip. The kids were sleeping, and my poor hubby was forced to endure the broadcast. However, the broadcast and book intrigued me. It was written by a behavioral analyst and a child psychologist. We all have had challenging students. Some are students that we can “handle” are some are students that…

So the HUGE blizzard that was supposed to hit – yeah, never did. Nothing. Not even one snowflake. So off to school I went for Wacky Wednesday. We had a super fun day though! Tomorrow is Wacky Hat day! Here is the March song for you! I would love a little note if you snag it :) Let me know if your kids like it too!

Some of you might have noticed that I posted this once already! The links weren’t working properly, and I didn’t have time to fix them, so I just took it down again! Sorry! I have two versions of a November song for you this time. The first is a chant, that I got many moons ago from my cooperating teacher when I was student teaching. It’s not a song, but rather, a chant. I think you can make up the rhythm as you go! The second is a song that I wrote. I couldn’t find a November song that “fit…

Sorry guys, I was hoping to get a post up with my centers for the week, but I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. I’ll try really hard to get it up tomorrow night. I teach a parent class Mondays after school, and usually stay a bit late at school on Mondays when that is done, so look for that post later in the evening. But, without further ado, here is my April calendar song. I owe much of it to my hubby – he helped me write most of it! He said it’s the best one yet ;) Enjoy!

We started our calendar book this week! I always like to wait until September to start, since we usually only have a few days in August. I use those days to really model the sequence of the calendar, and to get students up and moving and trying out the whiteboard. I truly thought I would be able to keep up with both the calendar wall and the whiteboard, but I was over-estimating myself! This is the progression of my calendar wall… I started off with everything I would need on the wall. I…

Update: See this post for how my calendar book looks now! It evolved throughout the years to be more of a daily journal page in which we fill in information each day (on one page) instead of over a series of pages. It became more meaningful to the children having the skills all on one page* I get tons of e-mails asking me about calendar book. First, I want to clarify that this was NOT my original idea! My kindergarten friends introduced me to it a few years ago, and they learned about it…
