All that’s left is the First Day Of School Fairy’s Arrival.

By

 
They’re coming, they’re coming…the kindersare coming!  It’s time.  Ready or not, tomorrow is the day  . . . The first day of the new school year.
I’m ready…kind of!  My most stressful part of the day is dismissal and I think I have that covered.
My ‘How We Get Home Board’ is done with almost all of the clothes pins where they belong.
 
 
Tags are ready to be zip tied to backpacks.  They won’t be wondering off to the wrong bus if I have anything to say about it. (Those little kinders are a slippery little bunch aren’t they?)
 
 
My ‘altered for the first week of school’ plans are ready.  Altered because I won’t start Math Stations until the second day of school and I won’t start Daily 5 until next week so I can do a bit of assessing and build some routines (and more importantly…relationships) this week.
 
 
 
New this year and the source of so much happiness for me . . . cupboards!!!  My new cupboards are in and everything has a place and is in it’s place.
Before cupboards!!!
 
After cupboards!!!! YIPPEE!!!!
 
I promise I’ll show you around my room later this week, but for now, I’m off to get ready for the First Day of School Fairy’s Arrival!!!! (If you aren’t familiar with the First Day of School Fairy,  click here to take a peek at her visit from last year.
Pray I make it through the day.

    kiddos will join school next week and I am having enough time to prepare the classes with my lovely team. I am having centers for the first time and am stuck with teachers’ fear and hesitation. thanks a lot for the great power and enthusiasm that you have given me in reading your blog, so they might learn and be encouraged too.

    Week 3 here. I am using planbook as well! I would love to see your 1st and 2nd week plans. I am struggling to fit it all in using Daily 5. This week I am using your week 1 and 2 lesson plans for introducing the centers. I was so frustrated today! I really need to see how you get your read to self time squeezed in and do your 3 daily 5 times as well as math, calendar etc. please help!!!! Good luck with your first day!

      ooooo don’t get frustrated…reflect and adjust . . . reflect and adjust . . . not every class is the same and sometimes there needs to be adjusting and tweaking…it’s ok…it’s only the third week of school and you had a long weekend. Kinders forget how to write their name over a long weekend…tomorrow is a new day. Take it slow…plan for extra time and if something doesn’t get done…there’s always tomorrow. BTW I use a really good BIG timer to keep me on schedule or it would never happen for me.
      Good luck
