So I had only one day that I could go into my classroom this week. After spending about 8 hours in there, I could barely make it home. O...M....G was I SORE! My husband says "why are you sore?"....guess whose eyeballs were rolling?!? They just DON'T GET IT! I am on a road trip with my parents right now. I left my purse @ a Bob Evans in Lafayette, IN. & discovered it was missing 2 HOURS later! Can you say....UGH! I caused us over 3 extra hours of drive time...I felt horrible! I was too busy pinning & eating biscuits & gravy..yum...to notice I walked out without my purse! So after an added 3 hours I am in Lexington, KY right now & am so excited to be going to the longest garage sale in the world! It's called the Route 127 sale...have your heard of it? Well I am going to look for books, shelves, & peace stuff for my classroom among other things. I can't wait! So this is why I only had one day in my classroom.

Classroom Jobs Linky Party
Holla if you like linky parties! I know I do! I am hosting my very FIRST linky party & I hope you all will join in on the fun & swap some ideas before we go back to school! My linky party is going to be about classroom jobs. Even when I taught kindergarten my little ones had jobs. Isn't part of our responsibility to teach them responsibility? I just love when they come in on the first day and think you are going to do EVERYTHING for them, don't you? Well, after a few years of just having one classroom assistant I said forget this I'm putting these little ones to WORK! Here is a pic of my current classroom job chart. As you will see every one of my students has a job. They will have the job for a week & then I rotate the jobs down.

The following is a list of jobs … [Read more...] about Classroom Jobs Linky Party

On the surfboard I put "Mrs........School of Fish with their names on fish. The background was water paper & I cut off a raffia table skirt & stapled it to the top.I used sandpaper on the bottom & hot glued shells for the sandy beach. I also used cut up flower leis necklaces for a border. This is our school wide AR board that I did for our theme "Garden of Learning". Here is my Dr. Seuss themed word wall....you can probably tell I'm obsessed with Seuss! Here is my long list of jobs. As we know our little kiddos need to learn responsibility & each child in my room has a job every week. They LOVE it & it helps me out too!
