Aside from teaching kindergarten, I also coach the cheerleading team for the high school. One fun thing we do to prepare for our season is to go to cheer camp. It is a four day three night camp where the girls learn a lot of material to perform next year and learn about what it really means to be a cheerleader for their school. On the last day, there is a competition. We placed 3rd in several categories as well as won a leadership award. We also won several spirit sticks and The Banana which is a spirit award! Here are our spirit awards from night 3!

I work in a school with an AMAZING staff and faculty. Everyone is supportive and wants to do their best for our school and the kids who go here. For teacher appreciation week, everyone went above and beyond in showing how much we all really care. We got fan mail from some of our students! Our principal provided us with a nacho bar and the rest of our staff provided us with delicious food ALL week! This was such an amazing teacher appreciation week. We really got the red carpet treatment!
I live in such a beautiful place. I live less than an hour to the north or the south from a beach. A while ago, with a friend, I went and explored one of the beaches. We hiked down on to the beach and walked around the beach. We went over to the rocks and were able to explore the tide pools around. There were so many sea anemones and starfish. It was so nice! I hadn't been to tide pools since I was in elementary school.
Here are some pictures from that day! There are also some pictures from another beach where the hike down included a bunch of spruce trees! In my class and the other kinder classes at my school, we all make memory books. There is at least one page per month and they are made by the kids with finishing touches put on by me!
Last year, I barely got all of them made and looking nice. This year, I am super excited for the kids to have their memory books and to see how much we really have done in kindergarten! Here are some of the pages that we did for this year. Pictures have been edited to protect the privacy of the students to whom these books belong. Two weeks ago, we had our last day of school! I am so glad to have made it through my second year of teaching. I'm very excited to be coming back to kindergarten again and to continue working with the amazing team that I have at my school.
This year, I had to pack up my entire room before leaving because my wing of the building is getting new carpet. This came along with many different feelings but it is all for the best and I'm excited to see what my classroom will look like with this different carpet! I'll be sure to post pictures once I'm back in my classroom. It's definitely going to be VERY different. One of my teammates decided that it would be fun to have her students draw on the outgoing carpet (she had permission to do so)! It turned out to be so much fun for her kids! |
