So our wonderful new first grade teacher is up and running (Welcome, Nancy!). She has been moved to our school to help with the over-crowding in first grade. This afternoon, she took her five from my room, as well as the others. (Sure am going to miss those sweet kids!) What a difference it makes going from 23 to 18. WHEW! Sooooo...in celebration, here's another freebie for you!

Ever Have One of THOSE Days???
Something MUST be in the air, because my kiddos have been little chatterbugs lately. I am not sure if it's because we're getting a new teacher and losing some kids or because there are so many of them? Anyway, I found this on a Google search one day, and decided to create one of my own. Think I will definitely have to get one and set it up to use TOMORROW! Hope you enjoy it and that it works for your kiddos (AND MINE!)

The FUN of Halloween!
Isn't it funny how as soon as you turn the calendar to October, six year olds start asking about Halloween? I love all of the fun of Halloween...cute costumes, loads of candy and yes, getting scared...just a little bit!
Last week my kiddos and I completed one of our first final writing pieces (combined with an art project!) to create a fun bulletin board. As soon as I have the projects up, I will post pics.
First, we brainstormed a variety of things that make us scream. Elizabeth said that cavities make her scream. Joey said that his big brother makes him scream when he jumps out and scares him. I added that students who don't do their homework make me scream. ;-) And, of course, we had the usual Halloween things added to the list: haunted houses, spiders, ghosts, etc.
Then we put pencils to paper and selected the three things that made us scream the most. (Of course I had a couple of boys who weren't scared of anything, but eventually they agreed that they would scream at a thing or two...or ten!)
Once we had our writing in final format, we started our art projects. We had so much fun...especially doing the hair! They loved how they had to make it stick up on the top of their head.
This writing/art project is available in my TeachersPayTeachers store, but just for stopping by, it is yours completely FREE...trick or treat!
