We compared it to filling our buckets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made this little heartprint station in my classroom and told the students that if they see anther classmate leaving a heartprint they can write it on the post it and put it in the heartprint container.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vZm5b0992wE/T0hVGeD5QoI/AAAAAAAABy8/HfTUONlQB6E/s1600/February+2012+033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vZm5b0992wE/T0hVGeD5QoI/AAAAAAAABy8/HfTUONlQB6E/s320/February+2012+033.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;We talked about what leaving a heartprint means and how it was meant to make others feel good. I still get a few post-its that say "I helped so-and-so pick up her crayons", and there was one in there the other day that just said "Bradley" with a heart around his name! It made me laugh; but we're working on it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then transferred the post-it notes onto tiny hearts that were left over from our Valentine project and tape them up on the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L1Rk65kFUOs/T0hVyfty3VI/AAAAAAAABzE/XPZbSEsA-Nk/s1600/February+2012+032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L1Rk65kFUOs/T0hVyfty3VI/AAAAAAAABzE/XPZbSEsA-Nk/s320/February+2012+032.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;The kids get so excited when they see new heartprints up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also wanted to share our attempt to making the adorable &lt;a href="http://acupcakefortheteacher.blogspot.com/2012/02/celebrate-dr-seuss-with-craftivity.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Dr. Seuss birthday cakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that Mrs. Cupcake shared. I tried to be creative and add my own spin on the project...didn't quite work out as planned! And some of my students got super frustrated with the tearing and it made me think of &lt;a href="http://tunstalltimes.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Reagan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which is the only reason &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;

Valentine's Day and the 100th day all in one week! Wish I had some pictures to share, but I actually ditched my kiddos a third of the way through our 100th day yesterday. I woke up with severe chest pains and decided to just power through and not call in sick on the 100th day. Well I made it till recess and then the pain spread to both of my arms! I was &lt;i&gt;freaked &lt;/i&gt;out and so was everyone else at my school, as they forced me to go to the emergency room! After a gobzillion tests and my first time ever being hooked up to an I.V., the doctors {thankfully} found nothing wrong. Just a bad case of driving myself crazy I guess?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Since I don't have pictures, you can find some ideas for Valentine's, Presidents', Dental Health and 100th Day on my &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/misskinder/february-holidays/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;February Holidays pinterest board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In other news, I've reached and surpassed 500 facebook fans, so I created a freebie!

I got this idea from the first grade teachers I'm working with, so cute!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave the kiddos a white piece of construction paper stapled onto a black piece of construction paper and had them draw &lt;i&gt;at least&lt;/i&gt; three objects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-isTkI3frcag/TyhjEvikwkI/AAAAAAAABoc/ySGDm8Ec62I/s1600/shadow+art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-isTkI3frcag/TyhjEvikwkI/AAAAAAAABoc/ySGDm8Ec62I/s320/shadow+art.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;After they finished drawing, they very carefully cut out each object, making sure to cut the black paper at the same time. They completed this task surprisingly better than I had anticipated!

Before this, my craft supplies were strewn around my little apartment and all over my parents' garage. I've never had my own "space" before so this was really exciting!

It not only helped in managing students as a whole group, but was really helpful in teaching individual students appropriate volume levels throughout the day. So when I started with my new class this year, I knew I wanted to teach them about volume levels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GK3c3S3-uz8/TxRnrp_Z_BI/AAAAAAAABik/f3ESKD2xMiI/s1600/volume+levels.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GK3c3S3-uz8/TxRnrp_Z_BI/AAAAAAAABik/f3ESKD2xMiI/s320/volume+levels.png" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;{&lt;strike&gt;someone made me this adorable chart, but I can't link back to where I got it! This was BP (before Pinterest) so if it's yours please leave a comment!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strike&gt;Jessica from &lt;a href="http://underthealphabettree.blogspot.com/search/label/volume"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Under the Alphabet Tree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; made this for me! Also, Katie at Little Warriors has a bunch of great &lt;a href="http://littlekinderwarriors.blogspot.com/search/label/volume%20control"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;volume charts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I recently attended a professional development workshop put on by some wonderful professors from the college I attended and learned some great ideas on how to actively engage my students during a lesson. I knew I wanted to engage them in this volume levels lesson for two reasons...one, I wanted them to be engaged because this is important! and two, I knew that would learn a lot more from it if I had them actively participating than if I just sat there and lectured at them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;{Side note: If you're interested in some new ways to actively engage your students I highly recommend this book!}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132192721/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=misskinde-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0132192721"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gMLL23lMfYY/TxRpUnv1stI/AAAAAAAABis/-bfOZ4DObQc/s1600/50+strategies.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Anyway, I prepped the lesson by printing out several &lt;a href="http://underthealphabettree.blogspot.com/search/label/volume"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;volume level charts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; {I selected "2 to a page" before printing} and several &lt;a href="http://teachersnotebook.com/product/Christina%20Bainbridge/daily-schedule-cards"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;daily schedule cards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that I purchased from Mrs. Bainbridge {I selected "4 to a page" for these cards and they were the perfect size for their little hands}and then cut them into strips. I put all 5 volume level cards and about 8 schedule cards into an envelope.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I started the lesson by introducing the volume levels chart and explaining the meaning of each number. We briefly talked about where it would be okay to use a level 5 outdoor voice, and when we would want to use a level 1 no talking voice. Then I split the kids up into groups of 4 using their desk letters, so that A's worked together, B's worked together and so on. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zhAVpDaS6UQ/TxRsL4_JApI/AAAAAAAABi0/n_lfMY7kX28/s1600/groups.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zhAVpDaS6UQ/TxRsL4_JApI/AAAAAAAABi0/n_lfMY7kX28/s320/groups.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;{they're working on place value using Cara's adorable &lt;a href="http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/2011/01/place-value-mlk-and-snowmen.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;snowman spinners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here they are sorting their cards under the volume numbers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NFVFuW8f6OU/TxRtsrU9sGI/AAAAAAAABjc/OXR0-hDmnAU/s1600/sorting+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NFVFuW8f6OU/TxRtsrU9sGI/AAAAAAAABjc/OXR0-hDmnAU/s320/sorting+1.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3SDxojsIYpc/TxRtuar3kdI/AAAAAAAABjk/pcNpRorWj1M/s1600/sorting+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3SDxojsIYpc/TxRtuar3kdI/AAAAAAAABjk/pcNpRorWj1M/s320/sorting+2.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Be5JYF1BTOs/TxRtwYDUQ-I/AAAAAAAABjs/4gQ5E40Fk-s/s1600/sorting+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Be5JYF1BTOs/TxRtwYDUQ-I/AAAAAAAABjs/4gQ5E40Fk-s/s320/sorting+3.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jX4xSLYOO_E/TxRtyELsSoI/AAAAAAAABj0/nlNDkt5YhiE/s1600/sorting+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jX4xSLYOO_E/TxRtyELsSoI/AAAAAAAABj0/nlNDkt5YhiE/s320/sorting+4.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave them about 5 minutes to sort their cards and loved listening to them working together to figure out where each activity belongs. Their dialogue was amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ended the lesson with sorting the larger cards on the board and sharing where we thought each activity card should go. This part was great because the groups where able to move their cards around after hearing a few examples up on the board. The students were so engaged!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aPbkhdczs3A/TxRvQ0I0HEI/AAAAAAAABj8/hI_dkVB_CD4/s1600/group+sorting+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aPbkhdczs3A/TxRvQ0I0HEI/AAAAAAAABj8/hI_dkVB_CD4/s320/group+sorting+1.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;{we decided that spelling referred to a spelling test which is why it's under no talking :)}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kiddos did a great job with this activity and I think they totally left with the knowledge of appropriate volume levels. We constantly review this throughout the day too. When I hear them working to loud I say "volume check" and they chorally {well, for the most part!} respond with the correct level and adjust their volume.

It's polka dotted! How cute is that!? {Is anyone interested in a tutorial on using Lettering Delights alphabets? Leave me a comment if you'd like me to make one!}&lt;br /&gt;When I went to put it together, I hit a speedbump! Like I mentioned before, my cute polka dot headers were already laminated!!! What was I to do!? I didn't want to risk laminating lamin, so I decided to print the titles on card stock and attached them with my scrapbooking tape, then attached&amp;nbsp; the headers onto ribbon. I tried my trusty old mod podge first, but the lamin didn't stick to it well and the headers just peeled right off. After much googling, I tried double sided tape...worked like a charm! I absolutely love the way it turned out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_il-MPQD6_w/Tw5KMeTfavI/AAAAAAAABg0/90g2Kdslyn4/s1600/January+2012+027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_il-MPQD6_w/Tw5KMeTfavI/AAAAAAAABg0/90g2Kdslyn4/s320/January+2012+027.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Onto my search for clothespins! I couldn't find &lt;i&gt;any &lt;/i&gt;regular sized pins, so I sucked it up and bought the tiny ones. I actually decided that I like the tiny ones more. They complement the cute polka dots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, my mission was to figure out how to document their behavior everyday. At first I thought of little business sized cards for the kids to fill out where they were for the day, but I knew I would never see the cards again once they were sent home, and that seemed like a waste of a lot of paper! I finally decided on a monthly calendar for my students to use daily. At the end of the day they color the box to show their behavior for the day. They take them home everyday and bring them back everyday. {The power of classroom money!}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OaeNAlykdkQ/Tw5MUETZgII/AAAAAAAABg8/ometJ6fdCPk/s1600/January+2012+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OaeNAlykdkQ/Tw5MUETZgII/AAAAAAAABg8/ometJ6fdCPk/s320/January+2012+003.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I thought I'd share these calendars if anyone else would like to use them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3B03q630QYLNDdmZDAzODEtNDcxNy00NjYzLTk2OGUtOWI4YzY3OWJjNGRh"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;These calendars&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;are in pdf form and are not editable. You will have to write the numbers in by hand.

I &lt;strike&gt;barely&lt;/strike&gt; survived my first week in 1st grade! After about 20 minutes in, I realized I never knew what I was missing! How fun and capable are first graders!? Don't worry, I still have a special place in my heart for kindergarten :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Anyway, here's a quick peek at what we did because let's face it, I'm exhausted! The last thing I want to do right now is think about school, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm alive and kicking!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yesterday, I introduced math centers to my class. WOW. Forgot what "beginning of the year" centers are like! After several, several, several lessons about what "good centers" look like and even ending centers early {because we were scheduled for the guidance counselor to come in and do a lesson but whoops, I forgot about that...so I just used it as a lesson to teach my students what happens when they are too loud in centers ;)} I think they finally get it. Don't worry, we did a continuation today so the kids were able to participate in all the centers. Anyway, enough babbling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In the first center, the kiddos used "how to draw a snowman" and drew their snowman families from my &lt;a href="http://teachersnotebook.com/product/misskinder/its-snow-secret-learning-is-fun"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Snow Packet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. They absolutely &lt;i&gt;loved &lt;/i&gt;this. {I'm really vain and asked them what they thought to boost my ego a little lol}.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tn2-T2NI4B4/TwaGP9smCNI/AAAAAAAABds/K5LJSEx1Q90/s1600/snowman+fam.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tn2-T2NI4B4/TwaGP9smCNI/AAAAAAAABds/K5LJSEx1Q90/s320/snowman+fam.png" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tpw7EQfewXU/TweebA4MuJI/AAAAAAAABeE/zwGwAgHY7F8/s1600/snowman+fam+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tpw7EQfewXU/TweebA4MuJI/AAAAAAAABeE/zwGwAgHY7F8/s320/snowman+fam+2.png" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;{I love the hats on this one!}&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The next center was teen story problems.

They played &lt;a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Place-Value-Packet-of-Fun"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Build it, Break it, Make it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and loved it!

Maybe they're like that in other countries? I don't know because I don't travel EVER except when I went to Israel haha, but the showers are pretty much a drain in the bathroom floor and a shower curtain that hangs from the ceiling. Every time we showered, we'd flood the entire bathroom and the shower curtain would stick to us because there was nothing to hold it back! Also, my sister and I suffer from extreme inability to stop laughing when we are together, so anytime anyone would say anything about the showers, we would die laughing. Pretty soon, all people would have to say was "shower curtain" and we'd go nuts. Best memory ever :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Elizabeth Skinny&amp;quot;;"&gt;1.Goal for 2012:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Elizabeth Skinny&amp;quot;;"&gt;Laugh a lot, learn a lot and live life to the fullest! That pretty much sums it up! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I've loved sharing 2011 with all you guys, here's to a terrific 2012!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.inlinkz.com/cs.php?id=111788" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1287056008240206149-7558568488079365685?l=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/feeds/7558568488079365685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1287056008240206149&amp;postID=7558568488079365685&amp;isPopup=true' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/7558568488079365685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/7558568488079365685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/2011/12/11-in-11-linky-party.html' title='11 in &apos;11 Linky Party!'/><author><name>Hadar</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-343Fy-3CJKs/TaE959BLaaI/AAAAAAAAAcs/xjIPUXUWxpo/s220/July%2B2010%2B075.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bLY1CgfQLSc/Tvj4pcDcTuI/AAAAAAAABX4/IOmkXIPLZU0/s72-c/movie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287056008240206149.post-2161270063855767551</id><published>2011-12-26T13:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T13:32:30.819-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Very Merry Christmas!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas yesterday!

I don't know if Amy has a blog...do you Amy??&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2W8xszcXMgA/TvjemyGOMfI/AAAAAAAABXI/dmk8vjSJzjU/s1600/blog+present.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2W8xszcXMgA/TvjemyGOMfI/AAAAAAAABXI/dmk8vjSJzjU/s320/blog+present.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Isn't that jewelry just precious?? I had to change the picture to black and white because I didn't have any make-up on and was going to my boyfriend's parent's house in pj's. There was no way a colored picture of me was going up for the whole world to see! At least I don't have 3 inch roots anymore...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mspreppy.blogspot.com/2011/12/holly-bloggy-christmas-link-up.html"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J6rT2qidU_M/Tvjn4KmUu6I/AAAAAAAABXU/_Xheb9VDoPc/s1600/hollybloggychristmas.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;P.S. I realized yesterday that my iPhone is ruining my typing skills! I stop mid-word expecting my keyboard to guess what I'm writing, don't capitalize or add apostrophes because surely my computer knows what to do, and let's not even talk about attempting to hit the right keys when I type. Come on PC, figure this out!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1287056008240206149-2161270063855767551?l=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/feeds/2161270063855767551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1287056008240206149&amp;postID=2161270063855767551&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/2161270063855767551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/2161270063855767551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/2011/12/very-merry-christmas.html' title='A Very Merry Christmas!'/><author><name>Hadar</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-343Fy-3CJKs/TaE959BLaaI/AAAAAAAAAcs/xjIPUXUWxpo/s220/July%2B2010%2B075.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2W8xszcXMgA/TvjemyGOMfI/AAAAAAAABXI/dmk8vjSJzjU/s72-c/blog+present.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287056008240206149.post-7997950667707559605</id><published>2011-12-25T23:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-25T23:08:17.592-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Can't Stay Away!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Seriously, I'm having blog posting withdrawals!&amp;nbsp;

I had a request to make an 11-20 game for my Popsicle Party counting game. Why had I never thought of that?!?! Seriously...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Anyway, it's only $1 on &lt;a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Popsicle-Party-A-counting-game-2"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;TpT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and&lt;a href="http://teachersnotebook.com/product/misskinder/popsicle-party-a-counting-game-2"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; TN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; now if you'd like a copy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-abyAf9ZWATA/TubT6rOfdAI/AAAAAAAABMc/HRLs1KtuG64/s1600/11+to+20.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-abyAf9ZWATA/TubT6rOfdAI/AAAAAAAABMc/HRLs1KtuG64/s320/11+to+20.png" width="249" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;3. Speaking of TpT, I won a $10 giftcard from sweet Molly at &lt;a href="http://classroomconfetti.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Classroom Confetti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! Perfect timing as my new adventure in 1st grade begins!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;4. One of my BBFFs Erin over at &lt;a href="http://creatingandteaching.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Creating and Teaching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is giving away Freebies like they're free! ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Head on over and check them out! While you're at, follow her so I can try to win her giveaway when she reaches 400 followers!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://creatingandteaching.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-beginning-to-look-lot-like.html"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vpyRGbwAkxs/TubUsd8yXFI/AAAAAAAABMk/DukBvgPVUf0/s1600/holiday+funday.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;5. Another of my BBFFs, who will soon be my IRLBff {because when I meet her in real life, I'm going to force her to be my best friend!}, is trying to get to 1,000 followers because she &lt;strike&gt;has self esteem issues&lt;/strike&gt; wants to share her amazing blog with you all!! {JK Kristin, you know I love you!!}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So, I'm going to help her out! If you don't already follow her at &lt;a href="http://ateenytinyteacher.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;A Teeny Tiny Teacher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, what is wrong with you!?!? But seriously, if you don't follow her, you have to! She's great! So go over to her blog, click the follow button, and head back over here to let me know that you did!

Lastly, I have a fun, kind of new, vowel song! Last week when I was working with my group of kinders, I realized that they didn't know their vowels! I immediately thought of the vowel song that was linked to my &lt;a href="http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/2011/07/quiet-please.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;classroom songs linky party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but couldn't remember what it was exactly. So I looked it up when I got home and low-and-behold, guess who linked it up!? Yup, my soul-mate, Kristin. {told you we're going to be Bffs}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So I made up the next 3 verses in the shower, where all my best singing occurs!, and dressed it up with a cute font! Click the image to grab it if you'd like!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://sites.google.com/site/misskindergartenssite/vowels.pdf?attredirects=0&amp;amp;d=1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OlcCQP_Dp9Y/TubX39bxWJI/AAAAAAAABNE/2-nrlM8TpL4/s400/vowels.png" width="308" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1287056008240206149-1863436524973555566?l=misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/feeds/1863436524973555566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1287056008240206149&amp;postID=1863436524973555566&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/1863436524973555566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1287056008240206149/posts/default/1863436524973555566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/2011/12/post-full-of-random-things.html' title='A Post Full of Random Things!'/><author><name>Hadar</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-343Fy-3CJKs/TaE959BLaaI/AAAAAAAAAcs/xjIPUXUWxpo/s220/July%2B2010%2B075.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ljUwyqQr7E/TubRm0h76OI/AAAAAAAABL0/B23QFtGSnqw/s72-c/gift+tag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287056008240206149.post-6607115994814725342</id><published>2011-12-08T14:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-04T10:56:55.185-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snowmen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teachers notebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Winter'/><title type='text'>Miss Kindergarten Goes to First Grade!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Oh my goodness you guys...I am SO excited, I can hardly contain myself!!!

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MOXmAFXDHac/TtbCKcaZKOI/AAAAAAAABII/I09n357Kum4/s1600/November+2011+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MOXmAFXDHac/TtbCKcaZKOI/AAAAAAAABII/I09n357Kum4/s320/November+2011+011.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;We talked about how a gingerbread man is the same and different from a real person and I totally wished I had a venn diagram to fill out!! I made one as soon as school was over! Looks like we'll be doing that tomorrow!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Then each kid got a chance to label and color their own gingerbread man.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here's my sample.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iUCu9XWgXLM/TtbLPPfOyjI/AAAAAAAABIY/G-RYP_xfMtc/s1600/November+2011+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iUCu9XWgXLM/TtbLPPfOyjI/AAAAAAAABIY/G-RYP_xfMtc/s320/November+2011+012.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I thought it would be fun for them to practice labeling the parts of a gingerbread man so I made another copy of the gingerbread man, with a word bank, and laminated it so my kiddos can write on it during independent centers. I also made several copies of different gingerbread men for my students to practice drawing in the art center. I can't wait to see how cute they all turn out! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-blWicHv0lCg/TtbF8KgvvaI/AAAAAAAABIQ/TJJjBcjYimU/s1600/gingerbread+centers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-blWicHv0lCg/TtbF8KgvvaI/AAAAAAAABIQ/TJJjBcjYimU/s320/gingerbread+centers.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Then, during math, we created our gingerbread families! My students were pros at this since we did our &lt;a href="http://misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-turkey-family.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;turkey family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; already ;) Again, we drew the same number of gingerbread people as people in our family. We used the labeling page as a guide to help us draw each gingerbread person. Then we used our counting skills to fill in the blanks at the bottom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--VWfqPBmBuM/TtbNQbcycBI/AAAAAAAABIo/WRzlxwG5oaQ/s1600/November+2011+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--VWfqPBmBuM/TtbNQbcycBI/AAAAAAAABIo/WRzlxwG5oaQ/s320/November+2011+014.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I'm thinking I will mount the labeled gingerbread man and the gingerbread family back to back and hang them in our classroom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;You can get your copy of the gingerbread activities &lt;a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gingerbread-Family"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://teachersnotebook.com/product/misskinder/gingerbread-family"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;{here at TN}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

It really helped me with my winter pack and I think you all will really like it! I know most of you said you like smaller packs that are reasonably priced, but I just couldn't resist! I kept thinking of such cute centers and games! I did take one center out to make the pack smaller. You can get this center for FREE by liking my new &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Kindergarten/275833052454072"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Facebook page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

She is sooo funny and tells it like it is! I love reading her blog and getting fabulous ideas from her!

I love the homemade alphabet letters that she created for her classroom; you can just tell how much she cares about her students. She makes me kinda, sorta, maybe a little bit want to teach pre-school! I said maybe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Wyand at &lt;a href="http://teachk-2.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Keeping it True in K-1-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- She shares a love of all things zebra print and Target! She's fairly new to teacher blogging and already has LOADS of great ideas to share! {Now we just need to get her a blog button!}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://kindergartencrayons.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff507/msk1ell/KindergatenCrayons.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fran at Kindergarten Crayons- I know, I know, it's no surprise how awesome her blog is!

She is starting her first year teaching Kindergarten but you would never know that by looking at her blog. She has such a cute classroom and a keen eye for the Target dollar spot! She might be more obsessed than I am ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ohthelessonslearned.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z78/mikerin3/Premades/New%20Premades/Amelie/blogbutton-2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sydney at Lessons Learned is amazing! We are both going through some trials and tribulations, and it's nice to know that we have each other! Sydney is such an amazing writer, I could read her blog for hours! Plus, she's super creative and I have pinned thousands of her things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://missklohnsclassroom.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww29/katieballa/Blog%20sutff/AdventuresButton.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&amp;nbsp;Katie from Miss Klohn's Classroom- Such a sweet teacher, one of the first teaching blogs I followed. It was so fun to follow her go from student teaching to her own classroom! She is always willing to share her life with us and I just love that! Thanks Katie!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://msk1ell.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff507/msk1ell/Screenshot2011-05-07at11358AM-1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ms. M! Needs no introduction! She is my BBFF, my partner in crime, my sanity at times. I swear sometimes I feel like I know her in real life! She's an amazing teacher and shares such wonderful ideas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://playgroundduty.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc419/EmilyP103/Button1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Emily at Playground Duty- Super sweet!!

I'm pretty sure she spends 50% of her day working on TBA and the other 50% consoling me with all my crazy emails! Plus, she says things like "Maybe she should be a baker, not a teacher! Don't worry about Martha!" HAHA! love you Tamara!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, yeah, I shared 11, but sorry, I couldn't narrow it down any further!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Have you always wanted to start your own teaching blog, but don't know how?

Even better than the dollar they were selling for at Target! When I found them, I knew I wanted to use them for my "sharp" and "dull" pencils. So I was EXTRA excited when I found out that I won an item from &lt;a href="http://www.porterspolkadots.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Ashley's shop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I was able to choose the colors and the font and Ashley gives such easy, and clear directions on how to adhere the vinyl. It took me like 2 minutes, and it looks amazing! {I made the little pink circles with my hole-punch because I LOVE how Ashley uses different sized polka dots in her classroom}.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;P.S.
