Kindergarten Valentine's Party is an unforgetable day...the kids had the most fun today exchanging cards and candy. I just hope they are all brushing their teeth tonight. I have the best room mothers in the world. Thanks to Pam and Jessie for helping to make each party so special. I love my job. It is what i am meant to do. Thank you Father for the Job that fits me so perfectly.

weekend warrior for my kids

I wanted to show you all what i have been busy doing this weekend. First of all let me tell you that i am tired of tying shoes...It is hard to bend over and tie 20 kids shoes 3 times a day and not to mention how time consuming that is. SO I took an old pair of my shoes and painted them purple (cause purple shoes are always more fun) and mounted them on a blue wooden board. Then I laced them with florecent Yellow Shoe Strings (because who doesn't want to tie florecent yellow shoe strings?). This will give my kids some much needed practice in tying and my job should get easier. I hope they love it. My 2 year olds keeps begging to learn too do it so he can play with the shoes.
I also got this idea from another teacher at school (thanks Mrs.Rich). My kids weren't wanting to go to the writing center very much. So i made a cape that has a "W" on it. They get to wear the while they Write., hence the "W". It will make them want to write more when they get to wear the Cape...we will call them super writers. I will let you know how this turns out. I also bought some other stuff to "beef-up" my writing center...but i want to try it all out before i spill the beans. The other cape has the word "Cats" on it. My room is the Cat in the Hat Room so i figured who ever was my star reader for the day could wear the other cape. I mean who doesn't want to wear a Cape? WE all secretly do i know....wish me luck....it is all in the name of making learning fun...

WE celebrated the 100th day of School last friday as school. You have to understand that is the BIGGEST DAY of the Year. The kids all come to school in the fanciest clothes they can find. SO do the teachers and we all be as fancy as possible all day. We eat with our pinkies up and call each other darling. It is so much fun. I wasnted to show you a picture to help you understand . Sequense, feathers, and tiaras are a must have during this event. We also had some special guests at the school that day. Mr. Wishy Washy and Fancy Nancy were there to help us celebrate. We spent the day counting to 100, licking a sucker 100 times, building 100s, and many more 100 things. So if you are ever around our area near the end of January be sure to stop by the kindergarten to see the most beautiful and by far the fanciest teachers in the state of Arkansas.
