Happy Fall Y'all

Hi Y'all! I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! I sure am! I am getting out my Oklahoma State Cowboy Sweatshirts (which happen to be orange and black so they are great for October BUT we do NOT like being called Halloween State so don't even try it) I had so much fun doing a week of apples with my kids - we made apple smiles, applesauce and of course graphed our favorite apples - red or green. This was the first year in 18 years of teaching that green won! Last week we studied SPIDERS and I read all three of the Miss Spider books but I will have to admits Miss Spider gets married is a looonnng drawn out book and hard to get their attention with but Miss Spider's Tea Party is awesome and has counting to 12 and lots of learning connections. We made Miss Spiders - art projects that turned out super cute - with big yellow circles, two smaller green circles for her eyes and eight black legs. I let the kids draw her happy mouth and nose etc. They are all original looking and turned out pretty great!

I have found a wonderful site called TeacherspayTeachers.com! Have you heard of it? It's a site where teachers can buy units, lessons or other things that teachers have made - there are a lot of freebies on there and most things are pretty reasonable. AND guess what I found yesterday?!!! A teacher in Georgia made posters for all the Kindergarten Common Core Standards with really cute graphics in I can, we can statements for $10 so I got that because it looks way better than the way I did it. There was also a Sight word unit with homework, and assesements. But my favorite was this poster - called Banana Split - I always say at the water fountain 1,2, 3 you're done. This is a reminder 1, banana, 2 banana, 3 banana split! How cute is that! (and at least I'm not the only one that doesn't think you don't need to be drinking forever).

I hope everyone is doing wonderful and received the newest newsletter. I am going to watch a blog video on how to improve this blog and make it better. Please be patient with me!

Email me or comment if you have a chance! I get lonely sometimes :)
