This and That

Hello, blog buddies.  I am so sorry that I have not posted as much lately.   I have been so busy.
First, I want to thank you for all your kind words and support for my post on becoming a published author.  A couple people asked me if I would do ebooks.  I think I will stick with TpT for now.  I also don’t plan on proposing another Scholastic book for a while.  If there are any requests for materials you would like me to make for TpT please let me know in a comment.  I plan on tweaking my older items on TpT and creating new ones this summer.

School is still going full speed.  We have two full weeks of school left.  Today was over 90 degrees in my classroom!  I feel spent. This week my first graders are taking the TerraNova Exam.  I have embedded some punctuation test prep that we did.

Yesterday, was Paige’s award dinner.  Click here for my link on Paige’s award.

We had Molly‘s retirement party today.  Molly is our class pet, a guinea pig.  She is over nine years old.  That is ancient for a guinea pig.  She has not been looking well (this is an old picture of her) and I thought it best that she spend her final days at my house.

I hope you are keeping cool!  Happy Summer!!!!

    Adorable punctuation activity! Poor Molly. 🙁 I'm glad you're bringing her home. And that temp in your classroom is ridiculous! Good luck on your last few days of school.

    Thank you for the punctuation page, and congratulations on Paige's award! I'm glad that you're taking Molly home with you to spend her days there. I'm so sorry that she's not doing well.

    You are so kind and caring! What a wonderful way for Molly to leave the room, a retirement party! I will have to keep that trick up my sleeve for the future! The picture of you and Paige is beautiful!
    Enjoy the last few days!

📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read- 📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read-alouds!
These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.
From Our Class is a Family, All Are Welcome, The Book of Rules, and so many more — these stories never miss.

Which one is a must-read in your classroom? Drop it in the comments and I will send you the links to my follow up activities!

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?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
