Goodbye to my 2011- 2012 Pre-K Class

It is one of the hardest things... yet we count down the days til school is over.  Well we cut school short 20 days, because Georgia Pre-K was cut.  That's an ENTIRE MONTH of school.  I see my kids making such huge strides, to feel that the last month is a great learning experience to them to continue on, yet I had to say goodbye, and hope they do well over the summer.  I had the opportunity to teach a class of 22 this year, with I believe 2 speaking English as their first language, many other languages spoken at home.  I am grateful I had a wonderful co-teacher, and this year really turned out great! I will miss my awesome kids, and hope the parents take me up on the "drop me an email, let me know how Kindergarten goes"

Sticky Easel

I got this great idea from somewhere.  Over the last 2 weeks we had strips of paper, then yarn, this week we started with pattern wooden blocks.  The kids find it cool and I had one actually create something.  He is very creative! It's a mouse trap.. see the mouse and his hole.  The string is his path.  Could it be because we are reading Mouse and the Motorcycle?
