It's been so busy and hectic but thankfully Halloween is over!!  I haven't given up on my Friday desk project.  I have all my pictures and my project for tomorrow will be to update my blog with my desk and some other little fun things from the class.  But for now,  I have finished the November Center Activities for the French Immersion November Monthly Calendar words.   Here are 2 center activities for that can be used in conjunction with the monthly calendar words that are used in my J’ai Qui a activities ( http://www.teachersnotebook.com/product/kemble_flynn/french-immersion-j-ai-qui-a-game-november-calendar-words  or  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/French-Immersion-Jai-Qui-a-Game-November-Calendar-Words-605120 ).

I wanted to post last Friday but I was so tired.  Last Friday, I went home to eat supper and then went back to school and came home around 9 pm or so.  Then the weekend just flew by as I was getting centers ready and then Monday came and now it's Saturday.  But I said I wanted to post what my desk looked like by each Friday so here goes.  Here is what my desk and behind my desk looked like by 2:45pm Friday, September 20. When I left around 9pm, this is what my desk and behind my desk looked like: That night, I decided to start to organizing some of my math materials so that it would be ready right away for the students to use in the lessons.  This is what my table looked like: Some of the lessons require me having bags of counters that have 5 to 10 counters in each bag for EACH student.  So I decided to start to make those bags so I could have them on hand.   I just need to make bags with 9 and 10 counters in them.  I use little baggies from Dollara

I've finished creating the center activities for the French Immersion October Claendar Words.  Here is a refresher of what's in the package: There are 2 center activities for that can be used in conjunction with the monthly calendar words that are used in my J’ai Qui a activities ( http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/French-Immersion-Jai-Qui-a-Game-October-Calendar-Words-605116 ) Activity 1 - déchiffrer le mot - Posters with sight words on them with fun border - 5 different recording sheets you can choose from - Sheets with the monthly calendar words that students use for reference at the centers (you can double-side and laminate these) (one with pictures & one without pictures) - Sheets with the monthly calendar words that are scrambled (these can be cut and laminated…I have created 3 different types – one with numbers on them, one with numbers and pictures to help the students out and one without numbers.  The one without numbers you would be able to

Well the first full week of school is over and even though Friday was day 8, it felt like day 58 for my legs!!   The first day of school went great!!  A few days before the first day I was looking at other teacher blogs to see what they had done and came across the idea of putting play doh on the student's tables.  I always have something for the students to colour on their desk but I knew I needed something more because parents come in with the students to drop off their supplies and the little ones need something to do while I am putting the bags of supplies in the back and talking with parents about after school procedures.  So I put little plates on each student's desk with a ziplock bag and I put 4 different colours of the Crayola Model Magic which is THE BEST!!!  It doesn't cling to their hands or tables.  Well, it worked!!  As soon as my new students came in, they got straight to work with the Crayola Model Magic.  It was amazing!  It was one of the best first days

UPDATE: It was a sea of pink in the assembly!!  Click on the below links to see pictures of Travis speaking at our school. https://twitter.com/HRSB_Official/status/378159713499619329/photo/1 https://twitter.com/HRSB_Official/status/378160400300130304/photo/1 I made stickers for my students to wear and they loved my shirt.  It was a great day! Enjoy! Kemble :-) The Premier of Nova Scotia has proclaimed the second Thursday of September as Stand Up Against Bullying Day in all public schools across Nova Scotia.  Stand Up Against Bullying Day encourages all schools to focus on healthy relationships and building stronger communities, while continuing to build respect, communication and healthy conflict resolution skills, while reducing (and one would hope eliminating) incidents of bullying and cyberbulling.   My school, Grosvenor Wentworth Park School is planning a very special assembly with a very special guest...Travis Price.  If you don't know who Travis Price is, pl

I don't know about you but I have more than one memory stick that I have my files on and I always seem to be searching through my bags for them so I needed something to keep them all in one place and be safe traveling in my bag.  I had this can that I really liked and kept from a few years ago.  It had lip smackers in them with different flavours (yum!).  I finally thought, maybe I could put my memory sticks inside this cute little can.  AND they do!  So now I can find all my memory sticks in one place. Not sure if any of you see my Hello Kitty memory sticks...LOVE THEM!! Enjoy! Kemble :-)

Last year I bought a Recollections bag from Michaels and it was a great bag for school. Here are a few shots of the bag.  I really liked how it had the mesh on the side so I  could put my water bottles in them.  I liked the little pockets on the front and back and there was lots of space inside. I was in Michael's on the weekend and saw a new Recollections bag that seemed sturdier and had space for my laptop and files.  Here are a few pictures of my new bag. The sides zip down if you want to expand the file system to put more into those pockets. I would love to know what kind of teacher bags everyone else uses.  As teachers, I think we are always on the look out for the ultimate bag or system.   Enjoy! Kemble :-)
