Teacher In-service Week:
   The first of the week I managed
to crawl to the gym, but by the end of the week I was passing out on the couch by
6:30! With Teacher In-Services, Ice Cream
Social, & Lesson Planning my brain
was full and my body exhausted! 

So
today I rested! And now I can’t wait to get started on Monday with my new students! My room is ready finally… 

Students can observe
Monarchs and Swallowtail caterpillars. Students can build projects using the
materials at the station. In the bins there are all sorts of building
materials. (A.K.A. JUNK: paper towel rolls, lids, recycled wheels, tape, paper
plates, string, roller coaster tracks, etc.) 

I love
the chalkboard stickers and the chalkboard metal cans. (I use the cans for
sharp and dull pencils) 

Here
are a few of my favorite books to start off the year with!

Let me
know what books you use to start off your school year!
