Back to School- Are You Ready?

Are you ready to get back to school?  Or have you already started back?  We don't start back yet for a couple of weeks.  Does anyone else feel like this was the fastest summer EVER??? 

I feel like I have a fresh start this school year as I had to change rooms.  So I am changing up the areas in my room and will be trying some new ideas out.  Pictures of these new ideas will come as soon as my room is done.  Right now, everything has to be unpacked and put away before I can even begin to decorate and organize.  

I do plan on keeping a few things that have worked for me.  Here are a few of them.

I really liked having a focus wall last year.  It helps keep me and the kids "focused" on a few specific elements for each text.  We could do a quick run through these elements before concentrating on the comprehension skills.  Made it easy to manage and to remember to get in each week.

ABC Magnetic app is also something I will be using again this year.  This is such a great app and I can use it in so many different ways from letter recognition to building sight words to doing the activity Making Words.  It has capitals, lower case, different backgrounds, etc...  Try it out!

Of course I will be using a teacher basket.  I got a new basket this year, so I may make some changes to this basket....will have to see if the new one works for me!

Also to get ready for the new year, Educents is having quite the Blow Out Sale!
