Linking up again with 4th Grade Frolics for "Monday Made It"!
Okay...technically nothing was "made" per se....except maybe the day of a few kindergarten teachers!
While reading Doodle Bugs Teaching 's "5 for Friday" from July 17th, I came across her google doc to donate books to a school in Mississippi that was burned down on July 10th. Ta-Da! Good deed done! I was able to donate a few copies of my very favorite beginning of the year read, First Day Jitters. Follow the link above if you'd like to donate as well!
Amazon, I love you. Thank you for making it easy to purchase and ship wherever I want. :)
Moving on...I have started a new classroom beast. Brag tags. I've always seen them, but in a class of 28 first graders, it was too overwhelming for me....
This year I will be teaching ESL, small groups of 10 is much easier to manage for me so I'm tailor-making them to fit my ESL needs.
Here are a few of the "fun" tags I've made. The remaining ones will be tied to language goals somehow. I'm still brainstorming. I can also see where these become very addictive...
Lastly, a nice little "thank you" to Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin' for her Harry Potter labels! I'm so excited to use them in my ESL room. The possibilities are endless!
Talk soon,
Oh wow...thanks for the shout-out! You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing about the teachers needing books. I will definitely be checking out the spreadsheet. I can't even imagine. So sad!
