The Countdown Has Started!
It's official. I'm have been back into the classroom, moved shelves and boxes and then stayed up way too late working on prepping and revising papers for the beginning of the school year. Those first few days are almost here! I suppose I'll admit to having had a few school dreams although no nightmares yet.
I went back into the classroom, not quite sure what my game plan was going to be for the day. Since our room was completely packed up (every. last. thing.) the room was an empty slate, except for the mound of boxes. But I managed to get all the shelves, desks and tables in their spots. I shuffled boxes around and did a LOT of staring.
Don't get me wrong...the staring was productive! I envisioned my room full of 1st and 2nd graders, thinking about traffic flow, new materials, favorite activities of years passed and then the excitement of the first few days and weeks that were closely upon us. I am getting excited! The first day of school is nearly 3 weeks away but it will be here before we know it! I'm ready to get the room set up and fully prepared for it to be bustling with kiddos for the new year.
I can't wait to get the first day, first week and first month started!!

What's Your Favorite?
I'm working on another DonorsChoose project for this upcoming school year and I am soooo excited for it! It's in the works though so I don't want to say too much until I know that it is going to be possible.
But what I need is some suggestions for books. Favorite books to read to your kiddo that can be read in one sitting. Favorite books that your kiddo loves to read. Classics that you remember from way back when you were in elementary.
PLEASE (super duper please) send me an email, text, message, or a blog comment letting me know some of your favorite books. It will be hugely appreciated!
