On a happier note, I finally got my teaching certification in the mail! And my Conscious Discipline book! Oh, happy day!! :)
This book is really good for classroom management! It's a whole system by Becky Bailey that is about focusing on classroom community and teaching behavior based on relationships, not so much about rules and consequences. I just started reading so I will let you know more about how I plan to implement it in my classroom when I finish!
Walmart has these really great area rugs on sale right now! Lots of cute colors, so I had to snag this gray chevron rug for my library area!
I also went to haft price books today for the first time! Talk about some good books for SUPER cheap! Most of the books I bought were 25 cents, and they give teacher discount! I also splurged for a few I really wanted, and ended up getting 24 books for $28!
The past couple of days I have been working on my Common core binder! It helps that I was able to attend planning for next year with my grade group! During that time I got curriculum maps for each subject area, a list of Montessori materials that can be used to teach those concepts, and some sample lesson plans! All of that is in there, plus any resources I have from college classes, placements, and student teaching that relate to what I will be teaching!
I'm looking forward to a productive week!
Girl, I have had one nightmare as well! I walked in on a Monday and everything was torn down. How funny that the same thing happened to you! Thankfully they are just dreams. You'll be great this year. Have a great first day! ZLAM!
