Lesson Plans!!!

Happy Sunday!! Where oh where has the weekend gone??? Speaking of where has it gone...this year is flying by! The end of the year paper work has already started! I will not stress, I will not stress, I will not stress!! If I say it enough will it work???

So with all the stress, of course comes a lot of fun!! In the weeks ahead we have some great stuff planned...field trip, relay recess, track day, kindergarten play and celebration!! So to get a head start on the end of the year...I started printing this little gem! This is by far one of our favorite creations. They do take some time to type, print and put together but...they are worth it!! What a great keepsake of the year!! :)

The EOY testing is just around the corner! It is so exciting to see the growth!The babies that walked in the door in August, some not knowing letters and sounds, are now readers!! That is why we LOVE kindergarten!! The growth is by far the best!! All the work and tears (sometimes from me, not always the kids) pays off in the end!! :)

On the agenda for this week...printing awards and certificates!! I will stay caught up!! :)

We have lesson plans!! We have a shortened week due to being off on Friday!! We hope you find something useful in them!! 

Have a great week!

Peek At Our Week and Flashlights???

Happy Sunday!! Really, Sunday already?? How can the weekend go SO quickly!! We have a peak at our week but before we do, I must share with you a little fun from the week...flashlights!! That's right...flashlights! 

Ok...so this is NOT my original idea! I remember reading about it during the awesome "blog hop" this past time, but for the life of me can't remember who posted! So...if you know who the idea belongs to...please let me know so I can give them credit!!:)  The original idea was Flashlight Friday! The plan was for the last few minutes on Friday, turn off the lights and let them read by flashlights. Cute idea, I thought maybe 10 minutes of reading. 

We had some crazy weather in Missouri last week!  On Thursday afternoon, it was storming like crazy! We only have one window in our room, so add dark clouds and a downpour and it was getting rather gloomy, even with the lights on! So...hello idea!! We grabbed the flashlights and went to town! Great chance to finish up progress monitoring...right! We quick went over some rules...and went to town! Before I knew it, 45 minutes had passed, I finished testing and they were still "reading" by flashlights! They LOVED the idea!! Not only that...but something happened and they were begging to take books home! What teacher is going to say no to that...not me!! The excitement was amazing! So...a BIG thanks to whoever came up with this idea...it will be a standard on Fridays (or rainy days) in our room!! And...maybe we ended with a few shadow puppets!! 

Here is a peak at our week! We are linking up with our sweet friend DeeDee Wills!! Hop on over to see what everyone is doing this week!!:)

Here are our lesson plans..:)

Have a great week!!
