pirates and first day of school

I am loving the pirate theme. I'm excited to get into the classroom and start decorating. I can't do anything until I return to the states in August. I will have exactly 2 weeks to prep! Not a lot of time. I made this first day of school coloring activity. Perfect for morning work. Plus, you can easily assess who can color and who knows their colors.

Bulletin Board Sayings

I'm going to be all piratey this year like Mrs. Jump. LOVE her room. I am also loving all of Ms. White's pirate decor and pretty much her whole room. My summer in the Caribbean is also good enough reason for a pirate classroom. I have my mom busting out the pirate artwork to go with these sayings.

I am also digging the "under construction" bulletin board. Genius really! I know you have seen this in blogland or on pinterest. This sign is going center stage on my bulletin board with some construction tape.

If you take a mouse to school Freebie

One of my favorite Laura Numeroff books is, If You Take a Mouse to School.

As a follow up activity I like to have my kids make text to self connections with the sentence prompt, "If you take me to school, I will ask you for . . ."  Click below to download. I included this and just the sentence prompt.

It is also fun to make a flow map.

teacher wish list

I have a mini bulletin board outside my door where I post the snack sign up, daily schedule, wish list, and other messages to parents. My school allows parents to drop off and pick up students at the door. Makes parent communication super easy. I'm also able to build great connections with the parents. Here is my wish list I will be posting on my bulletin board.  Click below to download.
