I'm starting my day camp job in two weeks so I'm trying to get some prep stuff out of the way before I get too busy. The first thing I did was pick a theme. I picked owls!. I did this early so that I could tell my family and friends. This way, if they are out and see anything they can snag it! :)
Here's what I did this weekend :
- Made some poems on easel paper. I found some super cute ones on Pinterest and wanted to get them laminated before school. As far as anchor charts go I'm going to wait on that because I think kids will get more out of it if we make the chart together!
- Started to label my books - this however, is a task I'm going to put off for as long as possible..
- Made bathroom passes. Pinterest inspired antibacterial passes. The kids will put them on their desks when they go to the bathroom. That way, when they come back they remember to use it! I'm crossing my fingers for a healthy year!
- Bought more books. After my half started labeling and leveling escapade on Friday, I realized I still need a ton of books. Savers is an awesome place to get books. They're about 50 cents each and they have a buy 4 get 1 free deal. Needless to say, I have to limit myself each time I go. The first time I went I spent 90$. To better control my spending I told myself that every weekend from now until school I'd go and spend 10$. Well, of course that didn't happen. My lovely boyfriend bought me 50$ worth of books. Then I went to Barnes and Noble and used my giftcard. In the end I ended up with another 60+ books!
This week should be pretty exciting. I'm going to try to get into my classroom to take a quick peek! The kiddos are still in school but it would be nice to just get an idea. I also want to get the curriculum materials ASAP!
**Here's a good tip - write down ALL of your questions. I have a different piece of paper for each topic such as technology, procedures, and curriculum. That way I can ask the questions to the appropriate people and more importantly, I won't forget my questions!!
