What's Working

Today was our 20th day of school.

 I want to celebrate the things that are working!

This is my "work steps" ribbon.  The polka dots make me happy!  I copied, laminated, and cut the direction cards, then added a velcro dot on the backs.  The matching velcro dot is on the ribbon.  Hurray!--easy peasy!

This is our job board.  I rotate the names down each day.
This year, I added the dot cards to correspond 
with the numeral pennants which hang on a clothesline.  
Whenever we line up to leave the room, the children must match their dot cards to their pennant numeral.  
Again, hurray!--instant learning opportunity!
(Please, do not hate me because I have only 9 students.  Small schools have their own set of challenges.  However, I am overjoyed to be a kindergarten teacher and I am thankful to be working.)

Pocket Charts, Pointers, & Playfulness
The glasses are 3-D specs from a movie, sans lenses.  Everyone loves to use these when reading from the pocket chart.  The pointer is a tiger paw--very cool.

The farm cards were found HERE and printed on cardstock.)
