Before I got my exciting news I decided I was going to try my hands at being a super mom and creating capes for all the kiddos that are coming to party. I finished the last one this evening and am able to sit down quickly to begin this post while my two little boys are playing in the yard.
The beginning of the school year has gotten off to a great start. My kiddos are a bit talkative but we are quickly learning to control the volume and when to talk. I created a Noise-O-Meter that is in the front of the room that reminds to students about their noise level.
One of the first grammar skills we begin with in my room is common and proper nouns. So last week in practicing how we behave outside and in the hall my students created lists of people, places and things that they saw. We then turned their ideas into this beautiful tree, which allowed us to segway right into common and proper nouns.
