Here Goes!!

I love Kindergarten!  What a fun place it is!  I love that my little cuties inspire me to be better every year!  So I am working on my "to do list" for next year as this year comes to a close.  This year I started keeping a journal so I could write notes to myself through the year about what I liked, disliked, or wanted to add to certain units and lessons.  This has really helped to look back at it as I am making my "list".  I already have a shopping list ready for my garage sale and dollar tree rounds this summer!  I love to find a bargain or a freebie for my classroom.  For example these cute pillows in my reading center that I made from old football t shirts (our class theme is centered around our high school football team).  I just cute the bottom off the tshirt to make it a square shape and stitched up the arms and bottom after stuffing it with polyfil.  Total cost $3!
And these carpet squares I found at our local dollar store and taped together on the back with duct tape.  They are great in my math center.  They never move or come apart.  Total cost $4!

And my newest addition a vinyl polka dot tablecloth used to cover 2 icky blah tables.  Total cost $3.50 and I have leftovers for another project!
