I have gotten a few emails and questions on my posts about where I got the punch out letters and the polka dot borders I use in my classroom.  Both were purchased through Frog Street Press.  Click on the letters below to check them out.

I have lupus so I took a year off… My son is 6 and is in the first grade inclusion in NY… Upstate Newburgh… I would love to be a regular visiter here… you have great ideas… My son has NF1 (ctf.org) and so he is other health impaired.. he is having a horrible time.. making the sounds of letters.. when they are in the word.. he is terrible at blending.. or chunking what ever you call it.. LOL… and he isn't HEARING? the end sounds.. very well at all.. and is this typical… or is he behind????

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!
