September Calendar Freebie! and a Rainbow Fish Game

Hi again friends..I'm starting to get back into the swing of things and I updated my September calendar.  It is FREE so grab a copy by clicking on the picture. Next week is "Hit the Classroom Hard" week..UGH! We have been under construction for just about a year now and we were NOT allowed to go into school over the summer {which actually was really nice...forced us all to have a true vacation-at least we couldn't work at school but it didn't stop some of us from working at home!} So next week it is pedal to metal and WORK WORK WORK! So my friends-I am enjoying my last FEW days of relaxation!

The Rules Of The Classroom!

This is a fun way to reinforce the rules of the classroom. It matches Dr. Jeans "Rules of the Classroom" song (the newest version) and the kids love it. We usually brainstorm what the rules of the classroom should be and with a "LITTLE" direction from me (wink wink), record them on a circle map. I like to illustrate each rule so kids have a visual to connect the rules with. We sing theDr. Jean song several times the first day and then I hand out this little sheet for kids to color. They take the sheet home and share with their mom and dad.
