<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Normally, this blog is to update you all about what is going on in my classroom, but I wanted to take the time to honor my beautiful, Allie, as she passed away recently. Here is the video when she first entered the U.S. Her illness ended up being more complicated, but it still makes me happy to see here here-young and excited!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of
weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of
unspeakable love.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Mat/Documents/Gathering%20Diamonds/A%20Crippled%20Shepherd%20from%20Taiwan.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
Some moments are best summed up in the before and after. What we were like before the event, and then
afterward. We cannot go back, because we
no longer exist in the same context. I
suppose I never believed that there would be an after for us. I’d been consumed
with recovering from bigger things, harder things. Endless hours of counseling appointments,
pinning comfort on Pinterest, reading my bible and filling journals. Somewhere along our ten-year adventure more
white had appeared atop her head, and her limp became more pronounced. Ever ready for adventure, her eyes sparkled
through growing cataracts and her mischievous way of waiting behind the door to
startle people still remained. A
reliable, constant, steady in the storms life threw at me. Peace in its rarest form. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Broken is holy. Broken
people. Broken bodies. Broken places. Broken moments. Broken animals. Broken hearts. Broken promises. Broken
lives. God has been showing me that
grief is just love with nowhere else to go.
We grieve loss, because it slowly heals us. There was a time when I wouldn’t allow myself
to feel any of it. Would run the other
way to “numb” and avoid the big feelings.
The ones that threaten to overtake you like a wave at the shore. Broken is holy. It’s the cracks that let in the light. The cracks that teach me, you, all of us,
about our need for relief. So I chose to
look. I see her curled up on the large
pillow with the rickety box fan blowing over the brown and white coat I’ve
stroked and soaked with my tears. Her
eyes were closed and her breathing slow, but steady. All the moments we’d had together. The millions of one-sided conversations we’d
shared seemed to engulf me. But I chose
to keep looking. I picked up my journal
and penned these simple words, “My German shepherd, Allie, is dying as I write
this.” Pain slaps my chest and I breathe
in quickly. All at once, I’m angry. I’m angry at all the times I wasted not taking
her to the park, just being quiet and breathing with her, brushing her fur or
telling her how much I loved her. We had hurried through our last moments on
our vacation, not letting her soak in the water, but it was one of her favorite
things. Why didn’t I just stop? Would it have changed anything? No, but it would have brought her joy. Didn’t she deserve it? She waited for me, as a gentle, strong
companion, and the thoughts of being without her made me feel panicked. Exposed.
Vulnerable. Unguarded.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She opened her eyes and looked at me, content, but weary. “I’m still here.” I reassured her, my own
voice sounding raw and foreign to me.
Broken moments are holy. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Allie wasn’t afraid of brokenness. She’d never known anything else. It was her way of life. We’d rescued her from
an organization who had received her from Taiwan, a few months earlier. Speculations
could only be made about the conditions of her birth which left her hips
deformed and crippled. Her left hip was
higher than her right, causing her hind legs to grapevine as she moved forward
at her steady gait. How could something
so broken love life? Perhaps we are too
keenly aware of comparisons and what “should be” that we miss the glimpses of
glory all around us. Could we stop and
look? What would we see? We had some perfect days, my broken beauty
and I. Quietly sitting in freshly cut
grass, sunshine in our faces as the wind tickled the leaves, and the world
quieted down for a moment. She allowed
me into her happiness and contentment.
Simply happy to be alive. To
belong to someone. Safety in the
stillness. Wading in cold water and sharing the end of my yogurt. My heart used to ache thinking about how she
had once been alone, maybe in a park looking for a mother who was playing with
young children, with possible snacks to share or scavenging in trash cans. Food
guarding was quite the issue in the beginning.
My poor, old Dalmatian, Odie, just didn’t get it, and ended up in more
fights than necessary, as he seemed to learn the same lesson every day. I could almost hear him muttering, “Note to
self. She’s going to hurt me if I look
in her bowl.” After receiving a rather large hole in his chest, my vet told
him, “Well, Odie, I have some good news and bad news for you. The good news is that this hole will
heal. The bad news is that you have to
go back home and live with the shepherd.”
Little, old man. Glory be there came a day when he approached her bowl
and her eyes lifted to me. It was a
question posed to a possible pack leader, “You going take care of this for me,
or do I need to show him my ninja warrior skills, again?” “I’ve got him. Just keep eating,” I told her moving him
away. And that was the end of it. No more dog fights. She had trusted me to
help her. How easily we don’t ask for
help, but Allie did. Her delight to eat never waned, as she waited
an extra twenty minutes at each feeding for her enzyme powder to activate. Allie also had Exocrine Pancreatic
Insufficiency (EPI) a condition that occurs when the pancreas fails to provide
the necessary amount of digestive enzymes.
I purchased it online in kilos, making me feel like a drug dealer, every
time. Occasionally, she would get some of the powder on her lips causing burns
that required Carmex and her poop was never solid. Her gentleness calmed other dogs, and was
respected in our German shepherd dog pack, we played with. She may have run behind, a bit slower, but
younger/stronger dogs acknowledged her authority and submitted to her. It was at the Dog Park that she became my
dog. Several dogs were at the entrance,
and Allie had given herself the honorary title of The Greeter. No dog entered without her introductions of
bottom smelling and face licking. This
particular owner looked stressed and overwhelmed as her small dogs barked in
fear, and I could almost predict all the horrible stories of German shepherds she
had playing in her mind. It’s a look I received
often. “Allie, come!” I called out to
her and she turned around to look my way.
My friend laughed beside me, as he had grown accustomed to her
stubbornness, expecting her to actively defy me. Much to my surprise, she turned and walked over
to me. My joy wasn’t easily hidden as I
praised her and wrapped my face into her neck.
She was my dog. She trusted
me. To hold such trust is precious. The moment was simple, yet, beautiful. Complete trust and surrender. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As she lay in front of me, memories of our busy life
swirled around her. Days soaking in the
river, nibbling on the anxious puppy we acquired after Odie passed, licks of
Sonic milkshakes, barking to incite riots at the backyard fence with other
dogs, howling at Lowe’s as we drove by (because she got extra treats when we
visited), or camping out at the top of the stairs to survey her kingdom, and
scare the crap out of all pizza delivery guys.
Nothing brought me more delight than watching her jog toward a herd of
unsuspecting sheep we found on a prairie heading to the Grand Canyon. Her whole body moved with purpose and
intention. When we are in our calling
and purpose, we forget our regrets, limitations and fears, we can simply run,
free. The sheep herded as the Shepherd
came close. She never belonged to me, as
much as I belonged to her. I had full
reassurance that she was on my side, and readily available for anything, as
long as we were together. In our love,
she was never broken. Wholeness happens
where love is. The broken have always
been drawn toward the Healer. They find their Home. Children were never worried
near her, often wrapping their arms around her broad shoulders and would laugh
as she would flop onto her back and roll around sneezing in delight. Her love changed people who encountered
her. “God, let me be like my dog. Let people feel better in my presence”, I
often thought as I watched her interact with her world. There was something
about me that only my dog understood and accepted. A new throb began, a new
realization- all things end. Old dogs
outlive their bodies, because of we love them with all we have. In my mind, she was running across the
prairie toward her purpose, not quietly dying in front of my eyes. “Please, don’t leave me here, without you,”
my heart screamed at her. Strange, that
I knew she heard me. “Don’t you die on
me, Allie.” I said into her fur, after I crawled beside her to wrap around all
the reassurances I found close to her. She
let out a sigh. She moved her muzzle
close to my skin and breathed me in. I’m
immediately aware that she will not be the one to part us. It will come down to
me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It took less than a minute, and she was gone. The moment she entered my life, she changed
everything. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

love with no place to go.<span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: #222222;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="file:///C:/Users/Mat/Documents/Gathering%20Diamonds/A%20Crippled%20Shepherd%20from%20Taiwan.docx#_ftn2" title="">[2]</a></span></span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Mat/Documents/Gathering%20Diamonds/A%20Crippled%20Shepherd%20from%20Taiwan.docx#_ftn2" title=""><!--[endif]--></a></span></span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can't get enough out of the wording above the bulletin board. I'd seen so many different ideas, but in the end, chose to use my favorite clip art and create my own. Many thanks to my dutiful husband, Matthew, for braving the ladder and the picky wife telling him when it was straight enough.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Focus Boards are a great way to keep me on track, as well, as help my students and parents understand our focus and direction. Because I teach at a STEM elementary now, I made this board at the front of my classroom so it can be quickly visible. I hang POST-IT anchor charts underneath the vocabulary portion, as the board slides from side to side, with materials stored behind. To grab your own version of this board, click <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/STEM-Focus-Wall-Headers-2609217">HERE</a> and get it for FREE!

This will be a new adventure for me as I integrate STEM and our two new Houghton Mifflin Curriculums: JOURNEYS and Math Expressions. It is my hope that you will share your ideas here with me regarding all things KINDER. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have been busy working on new materials for my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Theres-No-Place-Like-Kindergarten" target="_blank">TPT store</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To compliment Kindergarten JOURNEYS, I have begun Oral Reading Vocabulary Packs, full of real pictures to aid in the Oral Reading Portion of each lesson. My students always benefit from seeing a real-life example. Units 1 & 2 are complete and ready for purchase in my store!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Friends,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year has whizzed by...many of you are beginning your summers already. We have a much longer school year this year, due to our teacher strike, but I'm thankful for extra time with my precious Kindergartners. I've used the long Memorial Day weekend to crank out some new products and will include a FREEBIE for you at the end of this post. Feel free to drop me a line with any questions you may have. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had no idea that when I created my<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/I-Went-Walking-3-Emergent-Literacy-Activities-1956665" target="_blank"> I WENT WALKING </a>activity, last year, that it would be so popular in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Theres-No-Place-Like-Kindergarten" target="_blank">Teacher's Pay Teachers Store.</a> I sell it constantly, so my new goal is to go back to some of the classic literature I'm sure many of you currently own, or have access to in your school libraries. I'm passionate about exposing my students to quality literature and making sure that classics are not lost in the shuffle of always being cutting edge. To me, there's something magical about exposing my students to literature I remember being read to me at their age. I decided to work with another Sue William's text, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Go-Visiting-Sue-Williams/dp/0152024107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464661682&sr=8-1&keywords=lets+go+visiting" target="_blank">LET'S GO VISITING</a> to create another literacy printable.</span></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Much like I WENT WALKING, the text follows a predictable pattern, while still challenging readers with new academic vocabulary, including color words. This packet comes with pocket chart materials: poem and real photos of farm animals and an emergent reader.</span></td></tr>

I LOVE to watch their little faces light up as they have success
re-reading a familiar poem/chant. I try
to give them lots of opportunities for success and use fun pointers too! There are real photos to enhance their reading process. I use these poems
during the first weeks of Kindergarten to set the tone for a love of reading
and word work. In this packet, you will
find the following chants and word work/poetry journals:</span></span></div>

The year has flewn by! It's hard to believe summer will be upon us before we know it! I get sad when I think about saying goodbye to my sweet children, but I know that they are ready to fly. After testing them this last week, I am once again, AMAZED at how much they change from the beginning of the year. WOW! Kindergarten really is a magical place. This week, be sure to stop for a moment and tell yourself, "Well done." I am like you- always wishing that there was more time...always thinking about what else I can/want to do for them, but I need to recognize all the things I HAVE done already. What an honor it is to be a teacher...celebrate you.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">We are continuing on this amazing journey of literacy and growth! Kindergarten is the perfect place to see my students begin to blossom like the flowers in my garden. Each one, beautiful, amazing and in need of an extra bit of something from this crazy teacher. It's a reminder of how blessed I am to have a God that is bigger than what I face each day. Here's a glimpse into our "garden" over the last few weeks.</span></span><br />

I'm super excited that we are diving into our new Investigations Unit 5 on Shapes! As I continue my <a href="http://www.psd1.org/Page/4192" target="_blank">GLAD</a> journey, I am beginning to apply it to each subject in my classroom. I put together this little number for my kids, and wanted to share it with you too! I will be creating a large <u>Process Grid</u>, which we will be able to refer back to over the course of the unit. I recently assessed my kids to see if there were any shapes that they were still struggling with within the WA state standards and will spend more time on those holes, but alas, that rectangle was a hard one. You'd think it would be a sphere (super cute when they say it with loose teeth), but no...it was the rectangle. Bizarre. But, that is easy to fix, right? I love opening their eyes to the shapes all around them, and this clip art from Teacher Laura was a super fun way to help them start to see shapes. Don't forget some of these literature shapes staples too!</span><br />

I cannot believe that it's been so long since I posted on here! The time flew by in a whirlwind of activity that I'm sure most of you can relate to. The holidays were filled with opportunities to connect with family and friends, although the loss of my Grandmother continues to be an up-hill climb. I cannot begin to express the intense loss of her not being apart of Christmas this year. I've greatly appreciated the rest I have been getting and am looking forward to hitting the ground running come Jan. 5th. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to share of the new things I'm excited about! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">First, is <a href="https://www.planbook.com/welcome.html" target="_blank">PLANBOOK</a>! I saw that one of my friends, Marsha McGuire from A Differentiated Kindergarten uses it and I wanted to check it out! I cannot believe how much I LOVE this gem! You can upload pdf. files, videos, links, and any other resources, as well as create templates and attach standards right to your plans. When I needed Emergency Sub plans, almost everything was right there, all I had to do was tweak a few things for the day and BAM...ready to go! We all know how valuable time is and I was able to purchase two years for $22.00! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is the beginning of <u>many</u> days within the month of November that we have half days, conferences, or NO SCHOOL! BOO! We are beginning our GLAD unit on Turkeys and I want to teach! Yesterday, we did our Inquiry Chart and read our Big Book: <u>Let's Talk Turkeys.</u> Our BIG CONCEPT is: The most important thing about turkeys is they come from North America. We also did an input chart about the parts of a turkey. They LOVE the word and action for snood! That piece of skin that wraps around the turkey's beak. Did you know that? Ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My Kinders were INCREDIBLE with how they are making connections to what we've already learned about living things and GLAD strategies. We are also continuing to use basic Sentence Frames/Accountable talk frames to foster their acquisition of academic language:</span><br />

We had great success last week studying spiders. I stand AMAZED at how effective GLAD strategies are for helping my Kinders acquire academic language. They have already grabbed onto the BIG CONCEPT: The Most Important Thing About Spiders is they eat pests! That same vocabulary from chants is transferring to their writing and the ideas they generate when given a sentence frame such as:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">The little spider is___________________.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The moment when one of my boys stated "eating pests" I was a BELIEVER! I'm super excited to join many other teachers in our district who have been selected to attend more GLAD BOOT CAMPS to go deeper with these incredible strategies.</span><br />

This has been a tremendous learning curve for a teacher of 15 years. Most of the activities that I had re-planned were too difficult, thus I began with truly blank slates. One may look at the situation and scream but I LOVE a challenge. I feel privileged that I have been called and chosen to teach at Whittier Elementary. It's an amazing opportunity to give these children a great jump start...to love learning. Yes, I will be creating A LOT of resources, but it will be worth it. So, if you find yourself discouraged remember that we do a wonderful work. We are their first taste of magic....hope...opportunity. What an honor....wouldn't you agree? Here's a peek at my upcoming week. Be sure to link up with us at Deedee Wills' page, so you can join in on the fun!</span></div>

The weeks are just flying by! I missed posting my plans for last week...sorry. But here is what is happening in the Emerald City this week! We are prepping for our yearly trip to the Pumpkin Patch by studying pumpkins (parts and life cycle) before we have our adventure! I was thrilled with how much my kids knew about pumpkins yesterday as we began our GLAD inquiry chart. Today, I will be creating an Input chart with them using realia photos and color blocking to aid their comprehension (pictures to be added ASAP). Come Link Up with other great bloggers to see what is in store this week in their classrooms, as well! I have included links to other printables that I will be using this week and they are FREE for you too! </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Voice Amplifier</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">This is also an essential piece of my teaching. Last year, I was diagnosed with Vocal Nodules, which as a trained singer and "professional speaker"/aka a Teacher could have felt like a death sentence. I was determined though, to not allow it to beat me and I was agressive about treatement with a Speech Pathologist two times a week. I learned about vocal massage, pitch, voicing, protection, resonance therapy and overall vocal health. It wan't my singing voice that was damaged, but my SPEAKING voice. On Feb. 28th, 2014, I was released fully recovered!It was one of the fastest recoveries they had ever seen! Praise God!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Let me ask you these questions:</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Do you lose your voice at least once a year? Do you find your voice giving out every so often when you are speaking? At the end of the day, is your throat tight or tired? Do you have ways to manage the noise in your classroom besides calling out to your students "Give me five" etc? Are you clearing your throat more often or afraid you have a cold or allergies you can't seem to kick?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">These could be signs of vocal nodules. If left untreated they can cause serious harm to your health and your profession. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Find a reputable ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Physician in your area and ask them to check. Also, we all know how important water is but if you think that tea or coffee are helping you they are actually adding to the problem. You MUST drink between 80-100 oz of water a day if you are a professional speaker! No Excuses! And yes, you will be using the bathroom...A lot!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>NO YELL BELL:</b> This is an awesome way to grab your students' attention WITHOUT voicing at all. There are 7 different noises and when I tip the bell, they are to:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, here's the moment I've been super excited to share with you....a peek into the magic of my new <span style="color: lime;">"Emerald City....."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here's a look of what I started with:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcQ9sA4MVPZ_RiFMnqbXQQKG0y28fOtp5oOaKuGzncqrrGlxbo4BMepNL224Q3IGG2ULJdWFuSNICwuN7piykd2CHfOncEdW5GfH-fLs67pUk3FDRr5yKPcv7PVHfafU4jw57BarRdYqq/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcQ9sA4MVPZ_RiFMnqbXQQKG0y28fOtp5oOaKuGzncqrrGlxbo4BMepNL224Q3IGG2ULJdWFuSNICwuN7piykd2CHfOncEdW5GfH-fLs67pUk3FDRr5yKPcv7PVHfafU4jw57BarRdYqq/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although I was thrilled for my new job, this room was a bit smaller than my last classroom. So I needed to condense and be creative. I also share a wall with another fantastic teacher, Mrs. Thorne, but it's covered with a carpet material, so I also had to add Velcro and TLC to whatever I chose to hang on it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, it was a challenge I enthusiastically accepted!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I decided that to go along with my <u>Wizard of Oz</u> theme, I would incorporate two of my other favorite things: gingham and polka dots...lots of red accents. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I tried to back all my bulletins boards with white and then accent with red polka dots or red gingham. I'm super excited!</span></div>

Whew! I find it funny that every year I seem to forget how exhausting the first week of Kindergarten is! I created my visual lesson plans, but then went to a minute by minute with my cuties. They are an energetic, enthusiastic little bunch that will definetly keep me on my toes this year. Here's a peek at some of the activties we did last week. As most of you know, the first few weeks...MONTHS are about reviewing the routines and procedures. It's well worth the effort though and will guarentee a much smoother year. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm super excited to begin our STEM Unit on the 5 Senses this next week! STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is at the core of what I believe about good teaching. The only thing I would add is an "a" for the arts. But, being the musical/drama girl that I am, it will be added. This is the first unit I will be using from those developed for the OSPI website. Click <a href="http://www.k12.wa.us/EarlyLearning/pubdocs/Unit1UsingOurSensestoObserve.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you'd like to check them out. I attended a workshop during the Starting Strong Conference on STEM and my district is opening three new STEM schools within the next 2 years, one will be right next door to my current building! STEM is all about hands-on learning. The activities are relevant, only guided by the student inquiry, allowing students to draw their own conclusions, get messy and learn about concepts. Perfect for Kindergarten!!! We are lucky that in the State of WA we have some great new guidelines for Full-Day Kindergarten, stating that learning must be developmentally appropriate and value play. This is my goal as we embark on this unit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Along with the OSPI unit, I have added some of my own resources, as well as, this great unit by Kathryn Warner from Kindergarten Kindergarten! You can purchase it at her TPT store<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Five-Senses-Hands-On-Centers-and-Science-Notebook-Recording-Sheets-787706" target="_blank"> here</a>. It's jammed packed with fantastic printables.</span></div>

She has various forms of the book: mothers, fathers, business, etc. As I began to think about the power that these prayers had, I was overwhelmed with the idea that one was needed for teachers. One that was specific and intentional..dealing with the everyday challenges we face as educators in public and private settings. Good teachers have heart. We grow weary. May these prayers be a blessing to you when you don't know what to say. The first prayer is: Joining a New School District. Click on the picture to grab a copy.</span><br />

I have my new hire orientation today and then we are off and running. I'm still waiting for my Master Schedule so I am unable to put the times in, but many thanks to <a href="http://www.mrswillskindergarten.com/" target="_blank">Dee Dee Wills</a> for creating a great working template. If you are unfamiliar with her work, you MUST go over to her!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I inserted a gingham border, of course, and threw in some <a href="http://jwillustrations.com/wizard-of-oz.html" target="_blank">Ruby Slippers</a> from JW Designs and clip art from my new FAVORITE seller <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDIQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2FJennyAllsortsDesign&ei=jDPqU9mpJ9Hj8AWVtIKICg&usg=AFQjCNE0IyUpqyboM2abNp99VrdVO8dOLw&sig2=4Apol3r-FCkDfBULq76oMA&bvm=bv.72676100,d.dGc" target="_blank">Jenny All Sorts.</a> I LOVE her work!</span><br />
