Yes, I certainly had a
heavenly day at Crown of Life Lutheran School in Colleyville, TX, last
week. The teachers were
“angels”! Thanks to the Hudson
Foundation for making this day possible.
Sandy Simono, Amy Byrd, Stacey Carter, and Erin Kinnaird-
my hostesses with the mostestesses!
Is this cool or what? They gathered all sorts of little
objects (you’d probably find enough in lost and found or your desk drawer) and
glued them to a board with a hot glue gun. The “I Spy” board is located above the water fountain
between two restrooms so children have something to occupy them while they wait
in line.
I’m always on the lookout
for Common Core ideas and this one is a winner. The “I Wonder” wall is in the cafeteria. Younger students write questions on
sticky notes and put them on the wall.
Older students take those questions, do a little research, and then
share what they found out.
What a clever awning for a
classroom door!
And "How to Blow a Bubble" will entice any child to write.
Stacey Carter and I are both
UGA Bulldog fans, so I loved her theme.
Let’s go to the beach in
Sandy Shimono’s room.
Hog wild for Amy Boyd’s
piggy theme.
Erin Kinnaird’s room is for
the birds.
The library has special
nooks that say, “Come read a book in me!”
