Happy Sunday to you guys! π
It’s another installment of Peek at My Week hosted by the lovely DeeDee of Mrs. Wills’ Kindergarten! π
This past week was pre-planning for me! π
My mom came all the way from New Jersey to help me out! π There’s nothing like mom! Β Gosh! Β I am so lucky that she LIKES to come and do Back to School stuff with me! π
I also got my fall intern! π Β One of the new things UCF is doing, is asking that interns come during pre-planning so that they can experience prepping the classroom. Β I think its a great idea, but…I have to admit I was a bit stressed by it. :/ Β Thankfully, I have a sweet intern who is really excited about helping out in the classroom and eventually taking over! π Β Plus…he’s really handy for picking up heavy things and stapling things up high! LOL! π Β We have several new teachers on our team this year! Β Crystal just came to our school from Jacksonville! Β I am so excited about her fresh ideas! π
Ya’ll know how much I love pirates!
Well, I had some old students visit and new ones too! π
Here were a few of my ‘mates’ in their pirate gear!! π
In keeping with my theme, I had some of these awesome puff goldfish in class for my kidletts! π
They were gluten free for some of my littles with allergies!
They taste super yummy! π Β The kids seemed to enjoy them! π
Do you have a pirate theme in your room?

After the kids left from meet the teacher, I spent the rest of the morning prepping for the first week of school! π
I have my lesson plans done, my files in order, and I’m ready to rock out on Monday morning! π
Before I share my plans, I wanted to share that I do a weekly update for my parents using these editable newsletters from Laura Martin over at Peace, Love and First! π
They are super easy on ink, and since they are editable, and I used them faithfully last year…I just have to tweak them a bit this year and I’m ready to go! π
Here’s a peek at my first newsletter to my parents! π

Next, up…my first week of visual lesson plans! π
I’m so excited about the new ideas I have planned for the children this week! π

I am super excited about my first week of math lessons! π
We use a basal for math, and it really doesn’t make any room for review, so, I wrote this mini unit so that I had some resources to get the kids ‘warmed up’ this week! π

Here are the new pirate themed coloring sheets that are on every desk for the first day of school! π
