Gettin' Ready
Thanks to Kacey at Doodlebug Teaching, I made these great birthday treats. Super cute and easy to make. Every year I give the kiddies a birthday bracelet from the magazine Really Good Stuff but I forgot to order them for this year and as soon as I saw these I got busy and here they are.
So this is where I've been the last several days. I called this my last hurrah before going back to school. I went with a wonderful friend of mine. After seeing so many pics from all the teachers who also just came back from their kindergarten blog meet up in Vegas I was so glad I was going. They look like they had an awesome time. It was really hot out there but if we weren't at the pool we were inside seeing shows (The Jersey Boys were wonderful and Terry Fator was just amazing!), eating, and of course gambling. What a great place to go to for a short visit and squeeze alot in. Now back to getting reading for school, which starts on the 21st for the kiddies. By the way, our school has always had a half of day on the first day, 11:30 dismissal. Now I guess the state changed requirements and says we can't count a half day on the first day as a whole day so now we have the kiddies until 1:00. It's going to be a long first day with these kiddies and me, especially if the heat is on. If you have any suggestions for keeping their attention the last hour or so of school I would greatly appreciate it. I do have some ideas but can always use more. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Birthday Book
How do you celebrate birthdays in your classroom? Here's our birthday book that the kids take home on their special day. Inside is a sheet for them to fill out. It says their name and birthday and they can draw a picture of what they did on their day and write about it. The kids really love to take it home and just as well they love to see and hear everyone else's story. I also have a number graph, a large number 6 and 7. Their pictures are on the 6 and when it's their birthday they get to move their picture over to the 7. This is more exciting than the birthday book. It's usually the first thing they do when they enter the room on their birthdays. We also do the regulars, read a birthday book and pass out their treats, get their birthday certificate and pencil. So, if anyone has any other ideas to share I would love to hear it.
