School's Out For The Summer.

Well, to my 5 faithful followers, I am sorry I haven't update in 2 months. WHOOPS. I was very busy wrapping up the school year and now enjoying my summer break. Here are a few highlights of the past couple of months.



I am no longer a first year teacher. However, I still feel like one. I ended the year in K4 and next year I am moving to K5!! I am very excited and nervous about this move.

We had a huge Easter egg hunt with K3! Miss Kisha and I had a blast!





 We celebrated Cinco de Mayo. We made tacos and nachos. We also got to hit a pinata!! The kids loved this! And yes, I had someone else hang the pinata.










We had a end of the year picnic where the K3 and K4 classes went to a local playgroud. We had a blast celebrating the end of the year! Please see pictures below:




 We finished the school year with a few teacher work days where I got to go into my new classroom and do my favorite thing.... CLEAN! The teacher before me had collected a lot of things that were very dated and unnecessary to me and my classroom. I took a car load of stuff to Goodwill and a carload of stuff to the dumpster. I have been working this summer to get things ready for my new class. I made Alphabet cards to hang on my wall and number/shape cards. I am trying to do a polka dot theme, so I used polka dot background paper.

I want my room to look clean and crisp without a lot of clutter and junk. I want to use a lot of colors to make the room interesting instead of a lot of stuff.




I just got back from the Dominican Republic where mom and I went to go see dad. Here are a few pictures from that trip!
