I Can Center Signs


I have created center signs for my classroom! Each sign tells the students what they can do in that center. It gives the students and teachers working in the classroom a clear expectation. These signs also allow for dialog between students and teachers. I plan to post the signs at each center I set up for the day. If I decide that students need to focus on a specific skill I will cover out some options with a white piece of paper and tap :) .

Back to School Form

I am getting ready for the start to a new year! Before our year starts I like to get information from my parents about my students. It is best if I can get these in the mail and filled out before the students come to school. In my classroom we get breakfast ready before my students get to school. This form is designed for students with special needs, but can be edited to fit your needs!!

Grants

I have recently posted a Donors Choose grant to fund some sing-a-long big books! It was funded today! If you are looking at material this summer, and cringe at the cost of some the material Donors Choose is a great way to go!


Here was my page!


Adopt A Classroom is another way to fund classroom projects. In the past I have bough switches and adapted material for my students by raising money on this website.

Go Fund Me can also be used to raise money for supplies and field trips! I haven't used this one yet, because it does not grantee a tax-deduction.

My Super Hero Theme

This year we will be having a super hero themed classroom. Students will learn how to be a super hero of friendship. They will learn about love, kindness, and standing up for each other at a young age. I have included some of the decor I have made for my classroom! There will be more to come! Also the first book we will be reading is How to Be a Superhero by Rachel Yu. It is a great book that assists with each student creating their own super hero name, costume, and side kick!
