Travel Teach Repeat

Today I received a coin of excellence from my school , Oakley ES! I was so shocked and surprise. I always think no one really notice me cause I always keep to myself unless I have a crazy moment with some one lol. But Principal Coxton awarded me with the gold coin of Excellence cause she noticed what a great job I have been doing with the kids! Thank you thank you thank you ! 

So I love my teacher Instagram family! They are always sharing ideas, things that may be helpful in the classroom ! So I seen a lot of teacher posting #gonoodle so I decided to try it. Gonoodle is a brain break, it's like a way to channel postive engery. This program is really helpful in my classroom considering I work with #prek kids. They get restless at times especially during morning meeting time . And in large groups. I was super excited when I finally set it up! I dance along and sing with the kids when we are using gonoodle. I would really recommend this to anybody even for exercise purposes. 

Sooooo... Today while going to lunch, walking in line one of my students pulls the fire alarm . OMG just embrassing lol. One of the janitors quickly came out and took care of it. So if things couldn't get any worse lol. I went to go lamanite some things to hang up and my papers got jammed in the lamaniting machine, so they had to take the laminator apart to fix it. 

I love how sponsors/ supporters start the school year off right! DD has free coffee every Monday for the month of September! And I was just talking about coffee in an earlier post lol. So I'm excited about that! I look forward to going to DD on Mondays!!

Our theme for this week is "My Family " so we have been talking about family. For one of the small group activites I asked the kids to draw a picture of their family. One of the kids drew a picture of my family, I thought it was so cute and thoughtful! 

This was am activity I got from the OWL curriculum. I wrote some letters on square pieces of paper lamanited them and and let the kids fine the letters in their name . Some of them even went on to spell their last name.
