Summer Writing

Throughout the year my students have a wonderful friend named Little Buddy that they get to take home and then write about in a Little Buddy Journal. They love to write all about their adventures with him and more importantly they are able to practice their writing skills while they're doing it. I have made a summer journal that your child can keep and write in throughout the summer.

 You can buy Little Buddy at the Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, $1. He looks like this but is a little smaller:

Let your child take him everywhere and then write about their adventures in their Summer Journal with Little Buddy. You can print as many blank journal pages as you want for your child to write on. Let them have fun and practice their writing at the same time! I hope your child enjoys Little Buddy as much as my students have (:

Little Buddy Journal

It's the end of the year!!!!!

Can you believe we have made it? I know many of you are already out... and many of you still have a few more weeks... However, for us, the 5 day countdown is on!!!!

The next few days will be filled with cleaning up, taking down, putting away, and organizing... and remembering -- as items around the room disappear, the kids will be full of "Remember when we (insert favorite Kindergarten or First Grade moment here!)!!"

So... Enjoy the last few days of your school year!! And remember to have fun!! Soon - the summer fun will begin!!!

Teacher Gifts

This week sure has been busy with wedding showers. We have three teachers getting married over the summer and I am on a very tight budget. To make matters worse, all of the showers were within three days of each other! This required some creative ingenuity. I made this cool name sign with the music teacher's new married name. I also gave her a silver picture stand to put it on. You could also hang it up on a hook (:
