Behavior Calendar and My Name is FREEBIES!!!!

Well, I have survived the "until Labor day" with Kindergarten. To say that I love it is an absolute understatement. I love my new school and co-workers! God truly does work everything to the good to those who love him! I posted a couple of freebies on TPT this weekend.

I posted a behavior calendar that I'm using to help students have ownership of their behavior/actions. I am trying to really reiterate the fact that we need to make good choices. I allow the students to color the color that their magnet lands on that day.

You can download it HERE.

We are also working on writing and recognizing our name. I downloaded the My Name Has.... This document allows students to see how many letters are in their name.

The first few weeks have gone very smoothly. May you enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Blessings,

NEW grade and NEW school

As most of you know I got a job offer last minute.. (like really last minute) and it was TOO FABULOUS to pass up! And guess what?!!  It’s in Kindergarten!!!  Although I was super sad to leave my 3rd graders, I was super excited to start a new journey with kinder babies! 

I am at an amazing school and I absolutely love my grade level team and my faculty!  Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive, it was a joy to be a LION again!! My husband got a job in the same school system and is working at the high school. He and I feel totally blessed with this opportunity.

Here is the new coach, health/PE teacher of HHS!! Love him so much! Glad he is now a Haleyville LION too!!!

Well, I got offered the position on a Friday and in-service started that following Monday.  So I had one weekend to set up my classroom before I would be in training and meetings all day.  Whew, was that weekend CRAZY, CRAZY!! 

Here’s how it all started.

Excuse my dad---in the pic... couldn't have made it without my family helping me thru this process!!! He moved hauled and moved some more! Love that man!!!

Totally blah right?  I had A TON of work to do!

Well after A LOT of work and help from my family and friends, it started to come together.

Here are some pics of the final product! 

 This is the view from the front of my classroom.

 One of my sweet kinders brought me a back to school gift!!! :)

I could not have made it without this lady here! She took her last few days of summer and spent day and night literally with me helping me, even through some of my mini meltdowns of feeling overwhelmed. If you know me at all, you know I don't do unorganization and this about killed me.

My sweet mom sent me a ROAR LIONS bracelet for my first day of school. She knows the way to my heart---jewelry! She is happy---- I am a LION again too!!! 

My sweet friend that was once my majorette sponsor sent me a HAPPY too! Thank you so much Trallo! I big pink puffy heart love you!

Thank you to every single person who helped, cheered me on, checked on me, called or texted to tell me congrats. Your generosity did not go unnoticed. I appreciate all the love, prayers, and most of all the HELP! I am settling in and LOVING being back home! God truly does answer prayers! 

I love this sign from Hobby Lobby and plan to buy it at my next outing. This is truly a DREAM come true for Lee and I . Thank you Lord for giving us this opportunity to teach and work in the town we live in and for me to get to teach at the school in which I graduated from. To GOD be the GLORY for GREAT things HE hath DONE!!!

Happy weekend!
