Teaching Initial Blends

September 21, 2014 by Tamara

initial blends
It’s a good week friends! ๐Ÿ™‚
I’m back to link up with Dee Dee over at Mrs. Wills’ Kindergarten to show you a peek at my week!
This week, I was able to go to Kimberly Santana’s shower! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย She’s the brains behind The Learning Tree! ๐Ÿ™‚ Her sweet Eliana is due in ten more weeks! ๐Ÿ™‚ So excited to love on this little one! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I went with Tammy from the Resourceful Apple and Leigh from the Applicious Teacher! ๐Ÿ™‚
I won a prize! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I correctly measured Kimberly’s belly with toilet paper! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I’m a measurement BOSS! ๐Ÿ™‚
On Friday, I had the parents come in to celebrate International Speak Like a Pirate Day! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย We sang songs, recited poems, and did centers! ย It was really fun! ย Lots of parents came! ย The kids had a blast! ๐Ÿ™‚
Next up…visual plans for the week!
This week, we are talking all about sports and how we play with our friends! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I’m really excited about all the things I have planned for the littles this week! ๐Ÿ™‚
