Folks, I am in love! And I'm TIRED. And my body aches. But mostly, I'm just in love :) Today was day five with my little ones. We still need a lot of practice with our routines and procedures, but we are slowly getting into the swing of things.
These first days have been mostly about seeing where my students are {level wise} and practicing our Language Arts routine. We use the Treasures series, and if you use it too, then you know there is A LOT involved. I don't want to overwhelm my little ones, so I am introducing things one at a time.
I also found some time to squeeze in a few craft projects... of course! We made the buses from my bus craftivity pack on the first day:
And yesterday we made our heart flags in honor of September 11th:
Now that I have student decorations up, my room feels a little more complete. :)
In other news, I got a new desk calendar that I am super excited about:

{Did it rotate? It's giving me trouble!!}
Everytime I go to Staples, I eye this puppy down. And then I don't buy it. Yesterday I gave in, and I'm so excited that I did! Who doesn't love Post-Its?!
Okay, I'm signing off. Sorry for the short post! I'm working on getting back into the swing of things myself... Haha!
PS: Did anyone watch The Voice? Adam Levine?! Hello!!! ;)

We use Triumphs which is the intervention level of Treasures. I LOVE the program for my struggling kiddos but you are right there is a lot to getting them started!

My body aches, too, if it makes you feel better about saying it :)

We use Treasures as well. Well...I shouldn't say that. We HAVE the treasures program. I use the little readers that go with it and follow the sight words in order, but that is about it! I am ready for us to purchase the new series. I think we last bought a reading series in 2007 maybe?? Things have changes since then! :)

We use Treasures (I teach 3rd) and I just can't get into a routine with it. Today I think I did okay. I just don't get the phonics aspect for 3rd grade. It's mostly word chants. I need to look at Triumphs, that's for sure!!

I made your heart craftivity for Patriot day and the love it! Yes I watched the Voice and there is only one Adam Levine!
The main reason everyone watches The Voice is for Adam isn't it? =)
