Hey guys, welcome to 2021. Hope it's treating you well! This year is off to an exciting start because after ONE WHOLE YEAR (how?) we have finally completed our vintage camper remodel. For a little background - we bought this camper in 2019 for $600 with the plan to maybe turn it into a photo booth, maybe just a camper? Honestly we didn't think that we would even have time to touch it in 2020 because we were so busy with our photo booth business - Lamphouse Photo Co. WELP. With all events and weddings canceled in March 2020 we started work on our 1968 Play Mor 140. AND! We documented the entire process on our YouTube channel: Trailer Trash to Treasure Which, (woo-hoo) just passed 1k subscribers! We worked on the camper every week and finished it almost exactly a year from when we started. Here's the before tour: First the exterior. Oof. Poor guy had been given the rattle can mossy oak treatment and it was doing his cute shape NO favors. Next up, the "kitchen" BIG USE OF QUOTATION MARKS THERE ; ) What's there to say, it was basically gone. Disintegrated. Like the little scalloped edge on the cabinet though so style points for that I guess. Here's the dinette that would fold down into a bed: The other ~bed~ Would you sleep there? So we got to work with the help of my dad, Dave and mom, Connie and demolished the interior first: We then took it down to the frame, rebuilt the walls, ceiling, stripped the skin and repainted the exterior and ta-da, here's the final product: The kitchen after: I think the kitchen might be my favorite part of the camper. We installed a new faucet, built upper and lower cabinets, added a water pump and water system and new hardware of course. Next up, the front "dinette" We ended up opting for storage and turned the dinette into a permanent couch/bed. We're tent campers and we usually eat outside on a picnic table so we didn't think we would spend the time to convert it back and forth every day from a dinette to a bed. And finally, the bedroom: Did I say the kitchen was my favorite? Maybe this is? Idk, I love it all. Simon is a big fan of the big, fluffy bed: The bed converts back into a couch area during the day to add a tiny amount of floor space, access to under the bed storage, and a nice seating area for meals or relaxing. If you want to see how we rebuilt, repainted, re-everything'd this whole camper from the very beginning please head over to our YouTube channel Trailer Trash to Treasure and click the 'Start From the Beginning Playlist' We have another awesome project starting in a few weeks so hit that subscribe button and follow along on our next adventure! Until then, Keep Smiling!

Now, before we get started I have a disclaimer. I am by no means the guru of all things kinder. However, I have gained a lot of self taught experience through trial and error. I have taught Kindergarten for 5 years and would love to share with you what it has taught me! **All images for resources are clickable. They will take your directly to the free product. Background As a student teacher I fell in LOVE with teaching 5th grade. Loved the age range, the content and the possibilities. After student teaching I wanted nothing more than to be teaching in a 3rd-5th grade classroom. Well, that is not what God had planned for me! 2-3 weeks before the start of the school year, I was hired to teach Kindergarten in a Catholic school! WHAT!?! I know NOTHING about this age range! I was so nervous! To make matters less appealing, I also did not have a grade partner to bounce ideas off of. The previous teacher was not much help (she changed grades). Nor, did I know about the magic Facebook groups. More or less, I was on my own. The First Year Nope. Not going there. Long story short - it was rough. I had an extremely difficult class and my lack of understanding of strong behavior management did not add to the issues. It was a long year with a lot tears. So many times I wanted to quit. Yet, some how I managed to survive. Transition Years So I stayed teaching Kindergarten. Mostly because I did not get offered an other positions. But, I also wanted some stability. The next few years I grew so much as an educator. Starting in year 3 I had an aide and she was a Godsend. It was nice to have another adult in the room to bounce ideas off of. And quite frankly, Kindergarten should have an aide! During years 3-5 this was the time I was finally getting into my stride. I by no means want to worry any new teacher. But, become confident and exceptional at what you do takes time. There is failure and success. Each year is a new class which means you might need to change how your room is structured. It doesn't mean I wasn't a good teacher as I began my career. But I was learning. Sure we got all the content covered, but that does not make a good teacher. As I completed my 5th year of Kindergarten I felt amazing. I was on my way to being one of those great teachers! I still have hopes of teaching older grades. But I fully believe in giving everything I have. And that is what I did for my kinders, because our students deserve it. Learn From Me! Okay, So my first year - no good. But that doesn't mean yours can't be!! I feel that the most important time of the school year is the first few days/weeks. This is when you will set the foundation for your classroom. Listen to your professors from college. Be tough those first weeks. Seriously, you need to set the expectations for your students behavior or they will walk all over you. Now don't laugh - but it took me 4 years to finally put together a structured binder of first week activities. Yes, the first week is so important that it needs it's own binder. Get Up and Move! Kindergarteners love to sing and dance! Yes Gonoodle is awesome but so are Jack Hartman and Harry Kindergarten! The Learning Station is another one of my favorites. Your class will learn so much from singing and moving. Use that! Especially during the first week they are going to struggle with sitting for "long" periods of time. Be prepared by having fun songs they can interact with. My aide was awesome at making up her own songs to use. I, unfortunately, lack that particular skill. First Week Activities Can we just quickly pause to appreciate how awesome Educlips is?! So what exactly should you do for the first week? There are a few things that are super important. The most important is transportation! You will probably have a meet the teacher night before school starts. This is where you will have the parents fill out how their child will be going home. But guess what, it changes. Some parents will take off of work just so they can pick up their child from school. Check this and double check this! BUT even with all of that checking you may still send a child home the wrong way. (hand raise!) I have! It's hard especially when there are grandparents involved in picking up a child or the parents do not live together. Remember that it is okay! Mistakes happen. If you send them on the bus - the bus will bring them back. Put them in the car rider line by mistake? A parent can be called. It will be okay. Bathroom breaks - take many of these. And dancing breaks, those are awesome too. They are kids! And just like you, they are nervous. Have fun! I plan my first week of school around read alouds. I do this because There are some great books to talk about first day feelings and expectations. You can incorporate so much with a read aloud! So let me break it down for you what I did and where I got the resources. Plus, my aide for the past two years was a retired kindergarten teacher and read most of the same books. There is a pattern here people! First Day - Read The Kissing Hand **The day of tears Brace yourself: your students will cry. Their parents will cry. You will probably want to cry. (It's okay if you actually do cry). This is real life lol. But remember - it will all be okay! You will be awesome! Just have fun! I have a coloring page waiting for my class when they come in. Some will color it, some will just sit and cry. Could be a good opportunity to introduce book buddies (stuffed animals) that they can hold if they didn’t bring something with them. I have changed my page every year but here are some I’ve used: Click on the images to go to the free resources! I love doing the tour of the school with my kiddos as a little scavenger hunt - they get so excited. The clues lead them around the school and they get to meet a few other grownups they will see frequently. During the hunt they are trying to find Chester. At the end they are back in the classroom were Chester leaves them some goodies. This might be good to do after AM snack when they have opened up a bit (if you are full day). I used this format to help me: I would suggest purchasing little heart stickers to use with this book as well. Drawing/writing to go with the book: These stations are something that I had prepared but did not get to finish. Which is fine! I would much rather have too much to do than not enough. **There are more books about Chester that would be great to read to your students as well. Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten Miss Bindergarten is another fun character to bring into your classroom. There are a series of books that star her and her kindergarten class. How fun for your students to compare themselves. I like this book for the first week because they can learn about their teacher too! Day Two - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Obviously you have to read this in Kindergarten. It's an ABC book! You kids most likely know this one as well so have them help you read! Be sure to check out Pinterest or search for more blogs like Mrs. Lee's Kinders. I made this cute craft with them. You can make it easier on yourself and print the pieces on colored paper or have your students color! My first year I had my students make these. Now, I made the mistake of having them find the letters. Learn from my mistake. Sort your letter stickers by students and have them ready to go in a plastic bag. We can't all get it right the first time. ;) How cute is this directed drawing!? Day Three - Brown Bear Brown Bear This will be another book your students are familiar with. Have a blast retelling this story throughout the day! Then have your students go home and retell it with their parents! I also made a retelling bag with my students. Spend the day working with colors! Day Four - Chrysanthemum By now your students are probably feeling more comfortable. Now is the time, if you didn't start year, that I would begin building those expectations. To me, the most important part of my job is prodcing kind and caring students that will help others. The academics will come. But you are the start of it all! This is the time to truly teach them right from wrong and how to treat each other. Social skills are something you will work all year in Kindergarten. I read this story to my class and later in the day we also watch the animated version of it from Scholastic. I shrunk these puppets down to have them fit on a Popsicle stick. Let your students retell the story with a friend! Nancy has some great ideas for the first week of school and how to expand on your student's understanding of how Chrysanthemum felt. AND First Grade Blue Skies has an adorable freebie for you! This book is just seriously amazing and needs to be read! Find Jennifer's ideas here. Splat the Cat I love splat! He is another of my favorite book characters for Kindergarten Fill A Bucket In my class we discussed a lot about filling buckets. The kind things we do fill a bucket. But also some actions can dip into a friend's bucket and make them feel bad. If You Take A Mouse To School Again - a great character to bring into your classroom. Along with his friends! Smitten in First has a free template to make this cute guy! I would have your students tell you their answer and write it on a post it for them to copy. School Behavior/ Expectations No, David is a fun book to read to your class. Have them talk about the choices that they should make in school. The lunchroom is definitely important to discuss with your class as well. I would suggest a craft similar to this, perhaps where they draw the way they should behave in the lunchroom. Building A Positive Classroom Community This is so crucial to me! As a teacher my goal is to foster a community where my students are will to take risks and try new things. Where they respect their classmates for who they are. Where they respect adults and authority. I also want my students to realize how unique and special they are. I read a book such as the one below and then we create self-portraits! I personally think it should be required for every school to purchase multicultural crayons and paints. Because let's face it, the 24 crayola box of crayons does not include all of the skin tones that represent our students. I strongly suggest that your purchase a few packs of the crayons to keep in your classroom! The cost about $1 a pack, but add so much to your room! More Ideas How cute would this lap book be?! I think it would be fun to work on during the first week with your students. Practice identifying their name! This is a cute activity and how fun would it be to complete it with rainbow writing!? PHEW! That was a jam packed post! I truly hope that these ideas can be of some use for you and your students. That's the whole reason I blog and create for TPT, to help your students. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know! Remember, you go this!

Boober Fraggle is one of the five main Fraggles in Fraggle Rock. He has bluish-green skin and fur, red hair, and no visible eyes. He usually wears a brown cap and scarf. Unlike other Fraggles, Boober does not like fun and games and spends most of his time worrying about doom and disease. When he's not worrying about himself, he's busy warning others. He is easily frightened and suffers from a variety of phobias (as shown in "Beginnings," Boober owns a book of superstitions). Because of his fears
