Welcome 2013-2014!

I know, it has been forever since I blogged.  I have been swamped with life but now that school is back in session hopefully I can find some rhythm to my days.

I wound up with a total of 8 kinders and 5 in my prekinder class.  I am thrilled to have an even number in my kinder class as it makes it so much easier to team the kiddos up for games.

My kinder curriculum for this year is:
Bible: Answers in Genesis for  PK-K
Language Arts: Logic of English, Foundations A-B, The Daily Five, Writing Workshop (which we haven't started yet).
Math: Writing my own while using A-Beka and Horizons as guides
Science: Evan Moor, Learning About Series
Social Studies: Evan Moor, Beginning Geography

My biggest challenge this year is organization of my teaching supplies.  I have already had to reorder 2 of my books because I misplaced them.  Grrrrr!  I did find one of my originals 2 days after Amazon delivered book #2.  This must change!!!

My fav classroom helper this year is

The Pencil Grip Writing CLAW for Pencils and Utensils, Medium Size, 6 Count Blue/Red (TPG-21206)


This has been a great addition to getting the little ones to hold their pencils correctly.  The kids don't exactly like them but once they can show me they are capable of holding their pencil the proper way without them they no longer have to use them.  Thanks Amazon for carrying these!!!

I guess this is all I have to say today.  I'm hoping to get my classroom pics posted soon.

Thanks,
Mrs. S.
