Secret Password

 When "Bonnie Kathryn Teaching" shares a post on her facebook page with a picture from your classroom...ya better blog about it again...right!?!

This is a picture of my "Secret Password" that is outside my classroom door this school year.  IN LOVE!
In the past...I would change the picture to go with one of the themes that I was teaching each month.  Beginning teacher ~ who stayed at school way to much.  HA!  
This is the "Secret Password" when my classroom was a camping theme for the year.  The password was on marshmallows!

Let me tell you a little about the
"Secret Password"...

This is a great way to reinforce concepts being learned in the classroom.
Shapes, Colors, Numbers, Letters, Sight Words, etc.
You can differentiate too...Some students will tell you the sight word, spell the sight word, &/or use it in a sentence.

You will make a personal connection for the start of the day with each child.
How great is that!?!?

Pete The Cat Tour!

We had the BEST first 2 days of school this week.  The kids had SO much FUN!  I am SO proud of how well they are behaving and learning all the rules of the classroom and the school. 
The students always LOVE our “Pete the Cat School Tour!”  I'm always super surprised how many of them TRULY believe that we'll find Pete the Cat.   

Look at those SMILES!


Tricky part is trying to get the "TREAT" into the classroom while you are gone!
