I Teach K and Center Round-Up!

Have you made plans to attend the National Kindergarten Conference this summer?!  This conference is one of the best professional development opportunities out there for Kindergarten teachers because all of the sessions are targeted directly to US!  This is the 4th year I will be attending this conference and the 2nd year I am presenting.  This year I will be presenting TWO sessions.  Both are sessions that I am super passionate and excited about!

On Tuesday, July 8th at 1:00, I will be speaking about morning routines and how to start the day with a positive attitude (both you and your students :).  I will share with you about our morning routines, morning meetings, daily news and daily calendar time.  I hope that you can come and see this session – I am very excited about it!

My second session is immediately following my first on Tuesday, July 8th at 2:45.  I will discussing different ways to set up centers in your classroom – whether you are a daily 5 type teacher, a workstation or a literacy center type teacher, I will share with you ideas for management and super fun centers that your students will stay engaged with while you work with individuals or small groups of students.

Register NOW for early bird savings! (Last year my session sold out, so get it quick!)

 

I hope that I see you there!

Now on to centers….

My Daily 5 Rotations that I blogged about earlier are going GREAT.  Last week, I  made a few switches on how I rotate students through the activities, and I will share that with you when I feel it is SET….

Here is what I have in my Daily 5 Word Work Drawers last week and will finish up with this week…

This recording sheet is from a work work packet that I’m working on! Stay tuned!

and math centers…a mix of America centers and silly cat centers…

I Teach K! {Freebie!}

It’s right around the corner!  I fly out on Sunday and need to get my handouts bound and ready to go!  I have always bound my handouts – it just makes it easier to find them to reference later on.

I mentioned it to my roomie last year, Deedee of Mrs. Wills Kindergarten, and she came up with the clever idea of making a cover.  Duh. 

That was last year’s book.  She has put her brilliant skills to use again this year and made covers for us all.  Just click on the image below to grab them for yourself.

Last year, I also made some pages for my book, but never got a chance to share them because it was a last minute thing.  Well, here we are again – last minute! (and I still haven’t printed out my handouts yet!!)

Just click on the image to go to Google Drive to find the folder – there are jpegs there for you to slip into a PowerPoint (if you’re tech saavy!) or there is a pdf there for you to print and hand write all of your details.

So, if you’re a last minute kind of girl like me, grab these extra pages and add to your book, OR just slip them inside!

My presentation is ready to go, my materials are packed, now it’s just to pack my bags and jump on a plane!

My presentation is on Tuesday at 1:00 – stop by and say hi! I’ve got lots of fun ABC stuff to share with you!
