Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I know - it's a scary thought reality!!!! I'm sorry to even say the words......Back to School. But let's be honest. It's not that far away now, and closer for some than for others. So let's start thinking about how we can prepare. I don't know about you, but I have been stalking Target, Hobby Lobby and a few other places all summer long looking for the best deals and the cutest little bins, buckets, and supplies. Why, oh why, do we teachers spend so much dang money on our classrooms (and have so much fun doing it!?!). I know, I know!!! (I say as I wave my hand in the air like my new students will likely be doing soon enough.) We buy cutesy new things for our classrooms and spend our money on supplies because we love to see the looks on the faces of our little ones when they walk through the door and see their new HOME! It's one of the many reasons why we love teaching so much. As much as we all dread the end of another summer and the freedom we get with it, we also secretly love the excitement of the first day of school. Come on - admit it - you feel the same way too. If there ever comes a time when I don't feel that way, then that should be when I retire. I say retire because I am positive it will not be happening for a LONG time, if ever. I feel like I'm going to be one of those lovely, older, experienced teachers who doesn't want to retire and has to be kicked out. I'll have to dragged out kicking and screaming - dragging my chevron and polka dotted decorations behind me! So back to how we can prepare for going back to school. I don't actually go back until after Labor Day (I'm sorry if that makes you hate me right now, but you get out earlier I'm sure =) I will definitely be posting pictures of my classroom when I actually get around to organizing and decorating it. I also have to find room for all of this stuff... (remember I mentioned I had been shopping just a teeny bit). Even though my room is nowhere near ready I have been thinking A LOT about what I plan on doing those first few weeks of school. This will only be my 2nd year teaching 1st grade. It is my 12th year teaching, but I taught 3rd and 4th grades for 10 years. Last year I was in survival mode with the implementation of Common Core, all the changes with teacher evaluation, and being my first year in a new grade level. It was fun, but I have so many ideas for what I want to do differently this year. But before I talk about all of the things I plan to change (that will have to be another post), I have to get through the first week of school. Yikes!! So here are a few ideas I've been throwing around for that first week. I will start with some things from my Welcome Back Pack. I've always loved reading First Day Jitters by Julie Dannenburg on the first day of school and I also found First Grade Jitters by Robert Quackenbush - how perfect is that? I will start with this First Day Feelings survey and class graph after reading one or both of those books. The picture of the graph is just an example to show what it might look like. We will also make Jitter Juice from Babbling Abby's Fun with Firsties to ease the nerves and have a little snack break =) We will compare our summer with school like this example from First Grade Honeybunch. We will reminisce about our summers *tear* with a little summer writing (which is really my teacher way of getting a quick writing sample to see where they are at). We will HAVE to finish on a high note and not get totally depressed that our summers are over, so we will then come back together and talk about all the amazing things we will be doing this year in first grade - like learning to READ!!!!!! That's a big one! I will give some beautiful, could hear a pin drop, speech about how reading opens the doors to anything you will ever do in life like driving, traveling the world, and of course social media like texting, Facebook, etc. (I'm not totally serious, but I know they will think this is the best part =( Next, we're going to need to break up the sitting, because I don't know if you know this or not, but kids (and adults too) who are just coming back to school after a summer vacation are not so good at sitting for long periods of time and their attention spans are mere minutes at best. So it is extremely necessary to plan for multiple breaks in the day. My Find a Friend activities will give us that opportunity to get up and walk around. These are perfect for any student because there is no reading involved - just pictures. I would introduce this by going through the pictures and pointing out what they are and what they might think of when they see them (a little inferencing on the first day of school - take that Common Core!) Then they walk around and get other kids to sign their names next to a picture they like. When we come back together to share I have students share what they picked and why. For example, I might pick the dog and say that I have a black lab named Molly and tell a little about her. There are 4 different versions of this so I can do 1 each day to get up and moving. The next thing that I think we probably all do is some getting to know you activities or All About Me. I created an All About Me banner that will be perfect to hang up in the hallway or on a bulletin board. So excited to do these this year! There are a couple variations to choose from. I will probably choose this one I also have this super cute Math About Me craftivity that I like to do with the kids. We discuss how math and numbers are everywhere and how we can even describe ourselves using numbers. The craftivity above is a freebie in my TpT Store, but I also just wrote a poem to go with it. You can download the poem HERE if you'd like it. To finish off my pack, I also have included a Back to School interactive mini-book and some printables/coloring pages to fill time or use as morning work. In addition to all this FUN, I also need to take care of some business. That business will be ROUTINES, ROUTINES, ROUTINES!!!! I will be modeling like a crazy woman and pointing out when students are following rules. I will be positive and upbeat, but when needed we will stop what we are doing and go back to the carpet to review a routine or a rule. Here are a bunch of books I plan on reading those first few days as we discuss rules and routines and make anchor charts. I don't have any formal plans for these yet, but I am working on a few things to go along with some of these books, and others will be just discussions and connections. We will work through our class rules that first week (more to come in a later post on that) and more routines. So I hope you got some good ideas from my First Week of First Grade plans. I'd love to hear what you are doing in your own classrooms (or are planning on doing), so leave me a little note =) Click HERE to go to part 2 of this post - I Survived the First Week - Now What?

We Had a Watermelon Day! {An End of Year Theme} 5 comments End of Year, End of Year Theme, Freebies, Watermelon Day Today was a special day in my class. It was Watermelon Day!! Theme days are my favorite way to finish out the school year. Each day is new, exciting, and different than the norm, yet still rooted in learning. This is just what the kids need this time of year. Some years, I host one theme day per week during the last month of school. And, other years, I host a different theme on a daily basis during the last week of school. When I do my theme days, I like to tell the students that I have something fun planned, but I like to keep it a surprise until the day of. So, when the kids entered the room today, they found this at their desk. How cute are those place mats, right? I found them on clearance at Walmart last summer and quickly snatched up the last few sets they had. I hope they sell them again! But, it would be fun to let your students make their own watermelon place mat too! We didn't waste any time. We dived right into our watermelon theme. The students colored the watermelon template on their desk, and we turned it into a hat (headband hat, that is). As the students finished up their hats, they worked on this making words activity. They made new words from the letters in the words "watermelon seeds." I always love how the students work with the letters to make some really great new words. A few that I can recall from today include "needle," "Elsa," and "lemons." After Art, it was time to eat some watermelon! But, I didn't stop there. We actually had a fruit tasting! Each student got a slice of watermelon, a strawberry, some banana (not shown on the plate below), and two apple slices. In years past, I have had the students sample a variety of watermelon flavored foods, but this year, I opted for a healthy alternative. Like any sneaky teacher, I had an ulterior motive in mind this whole time. After tasting the fruit, the students polled their classmates to find out their favorite fruit and then used that data to create a bar graph. That's right, the tasting was really just math in disguise. Hehe. The watermelon was definitely the class favorite! It was seriously super yummmmmmy! Then, the students completed this organizer with the help of their teaching buddy. Since they had just tasted the watermelon, they were able to come up with some really great ideas. Later in the day, we brainstormed adjectives to describe watermelon. My hope was that the students might use some of the words in the writing activity that followed our brainstorming. I projected this organizer onto our whiteboard and we worked together to fill in the adjectives. Grab the adjective freebie HERE. Then, it was time to write. On to the BEST part of the day.....our seed spitting contest! I dangled this "super secret" activity over their heads all day long and they were dying to know what I had up my sleeve. When I finally told them, they thought it was pretty crazy cool that their teacher was going to let them spit stuff. Ha! So, we headed outside to see how far we could spit our watermelon seeds. Now, a quick word about that. I don't know about where you live, but where I live, it is darn near impossible to find watermelons with actual seeds in them. So, instead of using seeds, we used black beans. I rinsed them off first, of course. I used a yardstick and some sidewalk chalk to make measuring a bit easier. Or, so I thought. In years past, I have never had a student spit more than 10 feet, so I measured up to 10 feet and stopped. The first student to spit, spit his seed 18 feet! Yikes! While my markings didn't go quite high enough in some cases, they still proved to be helpful when trying to measure quickly. Here is a (crummy) picture of my chalk numbers. Before we began, I reminded the students that the beans were to be used for spitting only. They got their bean once they were in position and were ready to take their turn. We used the painted four square courts on our playground as our spitting line. The students stood behind the painted line, I handed them a bean, and they spit their hearts out. When it was all said and done, the farthest that any student was able to spit his/her seed, was 21 feet! Whoa! This student was awarded this super spiffy award. And, all of the students got this fun reward tag that I made for them to remember the day that their teacher let them spit stuff at school. Ha! You can grab this reward tag freebie HERE. I typically use reward tags to recognize student effort, behavior, and attitude, but on occasion, I give my students special tags, like this one, to remember holidays and special events. You can read more about reward tags HERE. Now, you didn't think I stopped at the contest, did you? Of course not! After our contest, we used all that measurement data to create a line plot. As I mentioned, I've never had any students spit more than 10 feet, so we had to modify the line plot on our activity page to meet our needs (and then, I went home and immediately added more line plot options to my Watermelon Day unit so that I could avoid this from happening again next year). I usually have time for a few more activities, like this watermelon life cycle project, and I had it all prepped and ready to go, but we ran out of time! Such is life in the classroom, right? Our Watermelon Day was a huge success. The students were on task and engaged in meaningful learning all day long, but also had lots of fun at the same time. This is why I love hosting theme days like this at the end of the year. We still have structure in our school day, even though the end is in sight, and the kids are having fun while participating in meaningful activities. These activities can be found in my Let's Have a Watermelon Day unit on TPT. Do you have a favorite end of year theme? DON'T FORGET IT, PIN IT! Share It:

Can you believe that the back to school season is already upon us?! While you are decorating your classroom and printing math centers, I think it is very important that you take some time and think about how you will go about teaching and practicing classroom procedures.

Our radiator cover with three pin hairpin legslooks great in any room. We hand make every one to order using sustainably sourced timber which is full of character. All of our products are finished using a blend of natural waxes which give water resistance. Every radiator table is completely unique and naturally rustic... please expect knots and imperfections (which we think makes them perfect). EXPRESS ORDER: If you opt for the express delivery service this will fast track your lead time (if ordered before 2pm, your order will be made and sent out the following day reducing your lead time from up to 6 days to just 2 days (including delivery). As standard, we supply black hairpin legs. If you would prefer a different colour, contact us for a quote. The table looks great over radiators but we recommend a gap of 10cm if you are putting the table over a radiator to allow the heat to flow still. Please note that the heat can affect the wood with it being a natural product and we take no responsibility for this. Height: We have the following leg lengths available to select from in the drop down menu: - 71cm giving the table an overall height of 75cm - 86cm giving the table an overall height of 90cm - 95cm giving the table an overall height of 99cm - 102cm giving the table an overall height of 106cm - Bespoke leg height - select your own leg height and add it to the comments (we need an additional week added to the lead time for bespoke) The radiator table is hand-made to order in our workshop (like all of our furniture) so can be made bespoke to suit your exact measurements. Contact us for a quote. Our console tables are 20.5cm deep (and the wood is 4cm thick). If you would prefer a narrower table, we can reduce the depth - anything down to 13cm. The price remains the same: add this into the comments when ordering. Fixings: The console table naturally leans into the wall. However, if you prefer to attach it to the wall, we provide all of the fixings that you will need. We recommend attaching to the wall if you have children or pets in the house.
