Finally got my bulletin board up! It now is covered in "kindness bears," my school's reward system.
I've been neglecting the blog. So I thought I'd summarize the last few weeks with a few pictures I've snapped between classes and after school. It's been hectic, crazy, and very trying, but I think I'm starting (barely) to get hte hang of this. Of course that means that I'm probably forgetting really important stuff and it will all come back to bite me in the butt, but I'm going to feel successful for now.
Xylophone! I did an activity with these. It was too early in the year. It did not go well.
My favorite tool. Boomwhackers! We've been using them
for the song "autumn leaves" teaching high and low.
Rhythm flash cards posted on the board for 4th grade.
Seating chart AND student composition tool. I will be re-applying
this with blue duct tape to fix my seating chart problem.
My 3rd graders created verses for "Whole World in His Hands"
Lesson planning tools.
I have supportive colleagues. I got this as a
congrats for my very first pay day. Get it?
Prepping for the 5th grade Veterans Day assembly.
After making fall leaves for my k-2 lesson.
Before crafting.
A lesson for Kinders-2nd grade. Notice the colors?
Boom!! *whackers...*
My second grade got a silent lesson one afternoon.
I lost my voice getting the last class under control.
They were really fun and participated without squawking.
I think they actually liked it. It was something very
different for them.
