Today was my first day of professional development before school starts. The Office of Curriculum and Instruction always does such a nice job of making the professional developments as fun as possible considering the sometimes stressful subject matters (like Compass today- yuck!) The theme was Wizard of Oz. It was super cute. I appreciate how they work extra hard to make it engaging, since we have to sit there and receive all the info whether it is boring or not!!
Tomorrow I meet my kids for the first time! Yay!! Here is my room all shined up.
 |
| Ready for Meet and Greet |
 |
| We study regions of the U.S. in 3rd. As a fun intro activity, we are going to map out different places we visited, identify what region of the U.S., and discuss characteristics of the region. |
 |
| Above my board is my problem solving strategy. I have used this every year since I taught 2nd. It's from Saxon Math and is perfect. |
 |
| So that Olympic theme didn't happen- time constraints. This is from 2 years back. It works. |
 |
| I am going to try this for the first time this year. As a first day activity, the kids will make a 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 appointment. Whenever we work partners, I will just call a time and they will go with a partner. I am anxious to see how this works. |
 |
| Relevant Economy definitions and payment information. Below is the various jobs they will apply for and hold. |
I am so happy that the room is pretty organized and together before Meet and Greet. That was my goal. My desk area is still not very organized, but that can wait until I get a free weekend or something. Hope everyone has had a great beginning of the school year so far!
Love,
Mrs. Kelly
