I have been in crazy mode for weeks now. But it has been fun!
First off, I L.O.V. E. the Great Pencil Challenge!! If you don't know about this great way of saving the pencils in your classroom, read more about it at Ladybug's Teacher Files. I gave each student 1 pencil the first week of school. At the Friday check-in, each student received a Dum Dum pop. Then I gave each student 2 more pencils for the whole month of September. My kids rocked it. 14 of the 16 kiddos made it and each of them got another Dum Dum pop. I am putting each of their pictures in the Hall of Fame. My friends thought I was looney but I love it. And I'm only sharpening about 5-8 pencils a day. Win-Win!
Secondly, I would like to share some pics of around our room.
My friend, Luz, showed me a way to keep the kiddos organized. She labels their composition notebooks so that they can find them easier. Genius! Why had I never thought of this? This is a photo of an actual desk.
We also had our apple week the last week of September and had tons of fun. We made applesauce and butterfly apples.
***I started this post on Monday. I wanted to share pics but I am having issues uploading to blogger. I am going to try again later.
