The new year is here and we start back at school tomorrow. The year ended with some challenging behaviors that I continue to reflect on and plan for daily. I am blessed to have a new morning presented to me each day. I can leave my worries behind and start fresh. Great is thy faithfulness. I will hope in HIM.
A fun literacy center (I split the students into pairs or "centers" for this activity) I use each year is called Happy Happy Happy Camo Literacy Center for Big Kids by Melissa Dalton on Teachers Pay Teachers.
We made BFF ornaments on the day before our holiday with pictures of the kiddos and their friends together for them to take home and put on their own trees. Some of my kiddos don't really have a BFF so we did BFF for the day-pick someone to be your BFF today and I will take your picture together for an ornament. This worked great and everybody was a good sport about it. Everybody "played along" and nobody felt left out.
