Thinking Next School Year Already...Are You?

5 items you should not live without this next school year...just sayin'.
Pom~Poms
How adorable is my room going to look with these hanging above each center area.  Love~Love~Love...I hope I love them as much when I try to make them myself!

A Year Long Planning Guide
Arianne from Ketchen's Kindergarten is sharing her year long planning guide with you.  Stop by her blog {click right here} to check it out.  I have added it to my list of things to do this summer!

Blasting Off with Reader's Workshop
Kim Adsit and her super smart friend Michelle have come up with a great resource for the launch off of your reader's workshop.  {click right here} to go to her blog.  Here is a picture of the anchor chart they used.  Plus...It even has a cute craft activity to celebrate the end of the unit! 

Phonemic Awareness Activities
LuAnn and I have created 10 different Phonological Awareness Activities to use in your classroom.  We feel that it is important for students to have a great phonological awareness understaning to be successful in reading.  {click here} to go to our Teachers Notebook to learn more about them. 

Cute Fonts
Yes....I have to have fonts that have "cuteness" written all over them when I am creating stuff.  Check out the blog Hello Literacy {click here} and find the cutest fonts to use in your classroom.  Plus...her title says it all!  If you have not been to her blog, she has fantastic ideas for literacy in  your classroom.

Summer Rocks,
Amber

    How to make a tissue POM POM? I have not tried it yet but if you GOOGLE you will find a link from Martha Stewart how to make tissue pom poms. I hope this helps and have fun with it!

    I love those poms! I was wondering if you were planning to make your calendar time packs that you made last year? I am looking at getting a jump start on my year.

    Thanks!

    I know you can buy tissue paper pom poms from Micheals and Party City. You can also make them yourself by googling a "how to tissue paper pom poms" from Martha Stewart. I will share my pictures when I make them closer to when school starts. Amber
