Since much of my classroom furniture and my classroom rug are primary colors, I thought what better way to incorporate these colors by pulling it all together with nautical decorations, props, and details. Here are some ideas I have found on Pintrest :) </span><br />

This place really has everything you could think of to decorate a home or classroom! I went to buy wedding invitations but of course I had to go up and down EVERY single isle! I couldn't resist the frog garland for only $1.50 (90% off of $14.99)! SCORE! I imagine that I will do something adorable with it on one of my bulletin boards. I love the printed animal pictures for my classroom, which I will be debating about until my next visit! Aren't the scrabble pieces too cute?!... just had to take a pic! I also took pictures of all the animal print lanterns, to remind myself to go back! I am debating if I want to do a bright color animal theme or the realistic color animal theme (browns, blacks, tans, etc) What do you think?! </span><br />

Since I began teaching 8 years ago, I've had classroom touches with animal prints and jungle inspired accents. I have a bench with two pillows, one brown zebra print and the other banana leaves. My "sight-word tree" was a palm tree. Closet name tags were animal faces. I used bright colored animal print scrap book paper behind many labels in my classroom. I had a stuffed-animal giraffe on my desk and a frog basket on a book shelf. ALTHOUGH, if you walked into my classroom in the past, you might not even notice my intentions of making it animal themed. Soooo, with that being said, I want to make this year different- a new school, a new group of students, a new journey, a new animal themed educational space! Today, I began the typical idea hunt through Pintrest and here are some amazing ideas that are going to help me get started</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.... </span></span><br />

Unfortunately, sometimes hats are a problem in the classroom because they can be somewhat expensive and they can harbor lice. I created this product so that early childhood teachers and I would have an inexpensive and more sanitary way to have hats in the classroom!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you ever been to Uniqlo Thrift Store? I love stopping here to look for fun stuff for my class! If you are looking for play food, dolls, trucks, games, puzzles, and "reading buddy" stuffed animals, put it on your to-do list! Sometimes you can find wonderful furniture pieces for your classroom too! Of course I recommend soaking/wiping down everything you bought, but you can really find amazing things if you have the patience to look! I got all of this for $1.99! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I started tutoring a former student and when we got to the library for our first session this week, the library was closed until 1pm. The mother of the student and I didn't expect the late start hours during the summer, so instead of canceling, I just tutored her at the local park right behind the library! It was such a nice and peaceful spot {birds chirping and all} and I will now give her the option, when the weather permits. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Several weeks ago I tried coffee concentrate! Have you ever heard of it?! Tried it?! Ohh my word... I love iced coffee! I was babysitting for a family and stumbled upon coffee concentrate from <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1708" target="_blank">Trader Joe's</a>. I tried it and fell in love! Since Trade Joe's is about 45 minutes from where I live, I decided to try the local <a href="http://www.thefreshmarket.com/" target="_blank">The Fresh Market</a> and they had it! I do prefer the Trader Joe's brand over The Fresh Market brand, but it works for me! Just add water, milk and/or creamer and wahla! It has saved me money and trips to the local coffee shop :) </span></div>

<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114057984111692001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943497549078647231.post-39986046405943286272014-07-21T05:54:00.001-07:002014-07-21T18:23:23.710-07:00Playing = Learning (Tools of the Mind)<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I know I have been missing in action from the blogging world for over a month, but with good reasoning :) I recently accepted a position as an integrated teacher in a local public school and have been packing up my former classroom, attending meetings, reading through the first Tools of the Mind Preschool Curriculum manual, researching classroom pretend play ideas, and of course continuing to wedding plan. So now that things have settled down, I wanted to blog about the preschool curriculum I will be using come September. Being a pre-k teacher for the past 8 years, I know the importance of of play. Children playing = learning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Tools of the Mind focuses on developing self-regulation skills, mature make-believe play, exploring social relationships and practicing social problem solving all while being deeply engaged and having fun! Some of the activities throughout the block schedule are: free time, opening group, make-believe play centers (w/ play planning), make-believe play practice, large literacy activities (buddy reading & graphics practice), outside play, small group literacy activities (attention focusing activity & story lab), small group math/science activities (attention focusing activity, remember & replicate, puzzles & manipulatives & story lab), and closing group (attention focusing activity, community building activities, movement games, and story lab).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The make-believe play center block is the centerpiece of the Tools of the Mind Preschool Program. It is a 45-60 minute block when children engage in intentional make-believe play. Before playing, the children make a play plan by representing their plan by writing and/or drawing. The teacher scaffolds both the play planning process and play development, to support children's deep engagement in make-believe play. I love that this block is structured in this way, because I have learned that when children play in centers without planning they tend to have a short attention span and want to play with numerous props, multiple roles, and likely change their center, all of which can cause behavioral disruptions. For the past 8 years, the structure of my pre-k centers was like many other early childhood classrooms I know, the children pick a center and had to stay in that center for the block. Although there were a variety of play props, the children didn't make a verbal or written plan of what they were going to do before they went into the chosen center. Of course, some of the children knew what they wanted to do, such as making a zoo for the toy animals out of blocks or playing "family". This structure didn't allow for children to develop mature play, in the way that Tools of the Mind ensures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After finishing the first Tools manual, I have been researching make-believe play center ideas. Tools uses six centers: Literacy, Housekeeping/Dramatic Play, Science/Scensory, Blocks, Art/Fine Motor, Math/Manipulatives/Table Toys. These centers will be given theme-specific names throughout the year (i.e. hospital, grocery store, restaurant, vet, flower shop, space center). In the beginning of the year the theme will be "family" and therefore the students and I will likely transform the centers into a living room, kitchen, garage, bathroom, and bedroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Here are some great ideas from my hunt (Thank you Pintrest & all the wonderful bloggers who posted these pictures!): </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first piece was this off-white </span>twisted shoulder cowl neck top<span style="font-family: inherit;">! It is $68... a little pricy for my frugal budget for such a basic top... so I decided to return it even though I loved the cowl neck and the material was oh so soft! The next piece is a white </span>layered<span style="font-family: inherit;"> bib necklace that I love! I like the </span>chunkiness<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of this necklace and I think it's the perfect statement necklace to add something more to a simple outfit. I decided to keep this gem for $52... again a little pricey for me, but with the $20 credit, I thought I would splurge. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The </span>third piece was this turquoise back cutout jersey top. I thought it was cute and different with the cutouts and the button detail, but for $54 I didn't think a cotton t-shirt was worth it. The fourth piece was this coral ikat print fit and flare dress. I love the color and it would have been nice for work because of the length, but at $64, I didn't love it enough. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The last piece is this adorable white and blue striped pleated skirt with pockets! I debating about this one, because it was in a very comfortable stretchy material and I loved the pockets, but for $68 I thought I could find something similar at the Loft. Again, it would have been perfect for work because of the length and style, so it was hard to see it go back into the return bag. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You might see a trend here... some of the Stitch Fix items are just too </span>pricey<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for me. I have had great luck with how most of the items fit me, but I have always been a bargain shopper and am one to head right to the sale racks. Overall, I liked every single item, but am only keeping the necklace. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">What do you think?! If this was your order, what would you keep</span>?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">Are you liking the items you have seen in my first two fixes?! If you want to try it out for yourself, click here: </span><a href="https://stitchfix.com/referral/3612224" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> and enjoy the process of designing your own style profile! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">This week some of my kiddos have been working on the _ap word family. The children really enjoyed these puzzles and several students asked if they could play with them during free choice centers! <span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">You can get this "Short a: CVC/ Word Family Puzzles" pack at my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Short-a-CVC-Word-Family-Puzzles-1238548" target="_blank">TpT</a> store. This pack includes 37 CVC/Word Family Puzzles. Children start with the picture clues then move onto reading the words. These puzzles are great for learning centers, independent practice, partner work, and for reinforcement at home.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">During "free choice centers" students get to explore and play in a variety of centers. At times, students will ask me to pull out manipulatives that are typically used for math. These two students enjoyed playing with the vehicle manipulatives. I wanted to see where their imaginations would take them and build on some skills, so I drew a road for them and asked them to think of others things to include on their map. They drew an airport, runway, railroad, train station, and lake. This has been the new go-to during free choice time!</span></div>

My first </span></span><a href="https://stitchfix.com/referral/3612224" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"> arrived in the mail on Friday and I couldn't wait to try on all my new goodies! I have watched many other bloggers update their wardrobe </span><span style="line-height: 23px;">through</span><span style="line-height: 23px;"> this online personal styling service and I </span><span style="line-height: 23px;">just had</span><span style="line-height: 23px;"> to try it for myself! Now I love to shop for clothes in stores! I mean LOVE... but there is something so exciting about being </span><span style="line-height: 23px;">surprised</span><span style="line-height: 23px;"> for what's under that robins egg blue label and tissue paper! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">When I opened my box I first saw navy!... I <strike>like</strike> love navy!</span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRjMA-N-QdRaJXD-ps5ceV7lWQ-X2ouClrakAk6uH5fJId-Hmjqc9OUAoLxVd2Q5My6UTn7hg10V2uDz940Gs0olHxqx0ElNrp5rBfpZDWtUWLCjXFbQeififMBElwzApbuPXQBM2/s1600/Slide1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRjMA-N-QdRaJXD-ps5ceV7lWQ-X2ouClrakAk6uH5fJId-Hmjqc9OUAoLxVd2Q5My6UTn7hg10V2uDz940Gs0olHxqx0ElNrp5rBfpZDWtUWLCjXFbQeififMBElwzApbuPXQBM2/s1600/Slide1.png" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The first piece is a navy & cream striped blazer! It is $72... a little pricy for my frugal budget... but I thought it fit great, felt great, and looked great! When I did my style profile, I said I was looking for colorful blazers... so my stylist hit the nail on the head, but I do have two blazers that have stripes very similar to this one... one from the Loft that is navy and cream and one from Express that is black and white. So what am I going to do with it?! Return it. It was a hard decision, because I really REALLY like it, but I just can't see having 3 striped blazers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The second piece is this adorable navy dress with a stripe hem for $68. It is a little long for my short 5'3 frame, but I debated about this one also! I thought with the thicker straps and the length, it would be perfect for school, but then I decided not to keep it because it looks like it will wrinkle easy and be a pain to iron. The third piece was this cute royal blue chevron necklace for $34... I thought it was adorable and at first I was going to purchase it, but as I tried to take pictures it kept flipping and I have way too many statement necklaces that do that, and I end up playing with them all day... so I decide not to keep it. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiz7fk9A2DKzHHNLgCm7lxQ4pqhKuMbCm_YsO0JG6s41cUN4rC3sLPMhgYSXoSeL4Q50h9n0KJfMnsbwXkBjnT1wfHsSCApDzX3YostzqWWrRC7Xz3x1UbG4tAMDKzGxFbjqo_u5ZB/s1600/Slide3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiz7fk9A2DKzHHNLgCm7lxQ4pqhKuMbCm_YsO0JG6s41cUN4rC3sLPMhgYSXoSeL4Q50h9n0KJfMnsbwXkBjnT1wfHsSCApDzX3YostzqWWrRC7Xz3x1UbG4tAMDKzGxFbjqo_u5ZB/s1600/Slide3.png" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The fourth piece is this lace detailed button-up for $48, which at first I wasn't too sure about, but when looking back at the pictures... I like it tied with a cami under it and would probably like it a lot tucked in! The last piece are these amazing grey-blue skinny jeans for $78 that I absolutely love!! They problem is they are a little too tight and I know I need a size up. I will definitely be adding a long comment to the final survey about how much a love them and would want them in every color! I am sad I have to send them back :( </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, I liked every single item! It's the sizing or the fact that I already have </span>similar<span style="font-family: inherit;"> pieces that has me sending most of it back. The lace detailed button-up might be the piece I am keeping... I just can't see sending all the items back and losing my $20 styling fee credit. What do you think?! </span>What should I keep?<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I have one more day to decide! I'd love your input!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">Are you sold yet?! Are you going to make the leap to order your first Fix? Here is how it works: You make an account through </span><a href="https://stitchfix.com/referral/3612224" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> and complete an online style profile by providing information about your clothing style (likes & dislikes), sizes, and price range! It took me about 10 minutes and I found it to be a lot of fun! Then you schedule when your first Fix will be sent to you and patiently wait! Since Stitch Fix has been very popular lately, I had to wait about 5 weeks for my first one! It was worth it though! As you are waiting... a personal stylist hand-selects five pieces of clothing and accessories for you. Once your Fix arrives, you have three business days to ship back any items you do not want. Returns are free... yes, you heard that right, returns are FREE! You will be charged a $20 styling fee each time you arrange for a fix, but if you decide to keep any of the items, the $20 free is applied as a credit to your purchase. What is even more exciting.... is that if you keep all 5 items, you get to save 25% on the entire Fix<span style="letter-spacing: 4px; line-height: 23px; text-transform: uppercase;">!</span>After you decide which items to keep, log in to your <a href="https://stitchfix.com/referral/3612224" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> account and
complete a final survey to let the them know which items you wish to keep or
return, and share any comments you have on each piece so that your stylist can
get to know your styling likes and dislike, which helps for more successful future
Fixes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">On Sunday, I bought two new pairs of shoes because I desperately needed navy shoes for school... and they are both comfy too! The left pair has a slight wedge and is from Macy's and the right is from Payless! What type of shoes do you wear to work?! If I could be in flip-flops every day I would, but I typically revert to flats or shoes with slight wedges.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I received my first Stitch Fix in the mail today! I was like a kid in the candy store... it felt like christmas! I couldn't wait to open it and see what my "stylist" would pick out for me! I have to say, I love every article... but I will recap you on what I decided to keep tomorrow after I try it all on :) Funny thing is, there is a navy theme too, which made me chuckle as I just bought two new navy pairs of shoes! </span></div>

I went here for my first time and there are nice paths where you can bike, run, or walk on through a variety of gardens and it's for FREE! It's the perfect thing to do on a sunny day and to get out and about for fresh air!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">This week we have been talking in depth about caring for the earth. To name a few... we completed a schema chart, read/viewed/discussed several books, played games on the computer, and made an earth craftivity. On Tuesday, we had "Clean Campus Day", where the each grade is broken up into groups and the children rotate to 4 different stations within the school. My students planted seeds, made bird feeders, watched an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBLO8_2ix8" target="_blank">Earth Day video</a>, and made posters about how to care for the earth. They had so much fun and really have gained a wealth of knowledge and curiosity about ways that they can participate in reducing, reusing, and recycling at school and home!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">We continue to work on rhyming, which I find one of the most difficult things to teach in pre-k. Some students just "get it" right away, while other students struggle to hear the ending of words. We have been working on rhyming for a good portion of the year with nursery rhymes, games, interactive SMART Board activities, activity pages and sing-alongs. How do you help your little ones with rhymes? I'd love to hear input on creative lessons/activities that can help my kiddos who still struggle with it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Today was "Kindergarten for a Day"! My kiddos spent some time in the kindergarten classroom meeting the teacher, seeing the classroom, participating in a hands-on math center, listening to a read-aloud and making an spring craft. They follow the trail of rainbow footprints from our class to the kindergarten class. How cute is that?! They were just a ball of excitement today!! In addition, we are still working on teen numbers, so the children sang "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq4UAss33qA" target="_blank">count and move</a>". What an adorable song! I love me some YouTube!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I'm blogging about this again, because I would love some more advice! I'm ready for a change in my Listening Center! My students enjoy the listening center in our class, although I am personally tired of it, so I need some advice! We have a cassette player, with a jackbox and headphones. Only 3 of the 8 outputs in the jackbox work. What do I need to use my class CD player and the headphones you see in the picture? I typically use my CD player to play sing-along songs and calming music during nap, although I have some great audio book packs. I would like to be able to set up this CD player with 4 students at a time, so that they can listen to audio books. I have seen a Belkin 5-way splitter online, but does that work with these older headphone I have? Also, besides Scholastic (which I love), where do you get your CD audio books? I wish I had i-pods, but that just isn't in the budget right now... so I'm moving on to the good ol' CD :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On Friday, we had another Super Secret Reader come in to read </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Story-Ferdinand-Munro-Leaf/dp/044845694X" style="font-family: inherit;">The Story of Ferdinand</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. What a charming story about a bull, Ferdinand who is the world's most peaceful little bull in Spain. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite tree. I remember this story as a little girl, and it truly is a heart-warming classic.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On Tuesday, I stopped at B&N to get a new book to read on my down time, to continue to 'perfect my craft' and keep up with what is going on in other elementary grades. Of course, I couldn't begin to browse until I treated myself to a Starbucks treat I ended up buying The Daily Five Book: 2nd Edition by Gail Boushey & Joan Moser, because I know so many school districts are using the "Daily 5" and many of my fellow bloggers, blog about it! Have you read this book or the first addition? How was it?! Are there any other books you think I should read in the future, especially for the early elementary grades? Think: "buzz words"! I want to be ready if I ever switch a grade! I'd love to hear your input!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you saw my </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/iisforinspire" style="font-family: inherit;">Facebook</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> post, I'm ready for a change in my Listening Center! My students enjoy the listening center in our class, although I am personally tired of it, so I need some advice! We have a cassette player, with a jackbox and headphones. Only 3 of the 8 outputs in the jackbox work. What do I need to use my class CD player and the headphones you see in the picture? I typically use my CD player to play sing-along songs and calming music during nap, although I have some great audio book packs. I would like to be able to set up this CD player with 4 students at a time, so that they can listen to audio books. I have seen a Belkin 5-way splitter online, but does that work with these older headphone I have? Also, besides Scholastic (which I love), where do you get your CD audio books? I wish I had i-pods, but that just isn't in the budget right now... so I'm moving on to the good ol' CD :) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 30px;">On Thursday, I turned 30! It's been a week of celebrating and although I am not typically one of those people who like to celebrate my birthday for the week {or even month, as some people do}, I had a </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">memorable and exciting week! </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">My </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">fiancé</span><span style="line-height: 30px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">Surprised</span><span style="line-height: 30px;"> me on </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">Saturday</span><span style="line-height: 30px;">, with a </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">surprise</span><span style="line-height: 30px;"> 30th birthday with tons of friends and family! It was such a great night! On Tuesday, we had birthday cake with his family. On Thursday, my "real" birthday, my students </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">surpassed</span><span style="line-height: 30px;"> me with </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">these</span><span style="line-height: 30px;"> beautiful flowers and cards and my </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">fiancé</span><span style="line-height: 30px;">, sisters, parents, and I went out to dinner to one of my favorite </span><span style="line-height: 30px;">restaurants! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 30px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;">I read Kelley's recent post from <a href="http://teacherideafactory.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-mind-blowing-classroom-must-have-and.html" target="_blank">The Teacher Idea Factory</a>, about how she used <a href="https://www.gonoodle.com/" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> for "brain breaks" and I thought I would give it a try, since her class seems to really enjoy it! Needless to say, I was not shocked when my students came in the rest of the week, asking if they were going to have another brain break, after we tried it out on Monday! I worked in a break break activity once a day this week, and will continue to do so for the remainder of the school year, because it really does help the children get some energy out :) Thank you Kelley for sharing!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 30px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;">My pre-kers have really enjoyed "write the room" and this week I introduced another option, which is to survey their classmates with a "Do you like...?" activity. Students really enjoyed walking around the classroom and asking their friends if they liked a certain movie, food, game, sport, etc and then recording their friends names by using the name tags or the word wall. How do you get your young learners excited about writing?</span></div>

Students have been recycling paper and plastic bottles in our class and now have a better understanding of why it is so important to do so. </span></div>
