12 on the 12th (ish)

WHEW, what a month.  I can't believe that September is almost half over.  The other day as I was speeding like a manic driving to work I realized that it was the 12th of the month.  I remembered that Doodle Bugs Teaching had a great linky party during the Summer ~ 12 on the 12th.  Everyone posted 12 random pictures from their day. So I grabbed the camera out of my purse and started shooting away. In honor of this great idea. . . here are 12 random pictures that I took on Wednesday.

1.  Late to school . . . again.

2.  During math time one of my kinders created a shape person he named "Timmy the smiling shapeguy".  The name made everyone giggle and so they all started to make their own crazy shape people. 

3.  A HUGE benefit to teaching a K/1 combo class - my firsties love reading to my kinders.  

4, 5, 6.  I can't believe it but I think my kids were ACTUALLY listening when we were discussing different types of scientists.  Seriously, check out these great interactive notebook pages:

        4.  I can be a botanist.

        5.  I can be a volcanologist.

        6.  I can be a paleontologist.

7.  Colored glue in action (click here to see my previous post).

8.  The head custodian lowered my desks and gave me smaller chairs (HALLELUJAH).

9.  This is where I had to park because I was soooooo late to school.

10.  Dessert time - come on 3 for $1.00 you can't beat that price.

11.  My new PJ's - my Godson saw them in Walmart and begged his mom to buy them for me ~ Love ya G.

12.  My principal told me that she is going to let me "test" one of the school's new iPads in my classroom ~ I think she just got sick of me stealing hers.

Well that's that, my day in a nutshell.  This week we have open house so I'm sure I'll have some more pictures to share.  For now, I'm off to play with my the school's iPad.

SHINE on everyone!
