This week was spent putting finishing touches on my room, meeting with my GLEAM (Grade Level tEAM) and meeting parents and students. As my head dances with ideas I can't help but be excited for the new school year to start. With starting Daily 5, having a student teacher and being in a new classroom it just seems so new. I'm going to back off the blogging world this weekend to spend time with my husband and baby girl before the craziness of the school year settles in.
To all the teachers starting back on Monday, have a great first day! I can't wait to hear all about it.
Happy New Year!

Back to School Linky Party
Jodi over at Fun In First is hosting a linky party about back to school activities.
The teacher next door to me is a close friend of mine. We teach with our "doors wide open." Not literally, but sometimes it is! We do a lot together. So in order to introduce the kids to one another and allow them the chance to meet the other teacher we do our first snack time together.
We bring together our two classes and talk about what good friendship looks like. We make a list on the board as we brainstorm together. Then we get out various snacks that we have brought in like pretzels, animal crackers, chex, peanuts (check allergies first!), dried fruit and some M & M's. Then we talk about how we like each one by itself, but how all together it tastes so much better, just like doing things with your friends is so much more fun. We mix it together and serve snack to our classes.
It's a delicious snack and super fun first day activity!
