This week we had the pleasure of sharing our classroom with the children's parents. The students eagerly anticipated the morning when a member from their family was invited to a School Visit Morning. What delight it was to watch the kids share their classroom and show their favorite lessons and activities. It was the perfect way to end our week before our week long vacation for Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break - Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks like a beautiful classroom. Love the "other ideas" (# pattering, days of the week match) you put in that my old work wouldn't allow me to do.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving! :-)

Thanks so much, though I can't take full credit for the number pattern coloring - that was all student initiated! :) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
DeleteI love your blog. I am a public school teacher trying to incorporate as much as I can within the limits of my required curriculum. I love the Close Up cards - where could I find these? I have a new student who is very young from a half day program (we are full day). He is really struggling with visual discrimination - the Rectangle Box blew him away yesterday. I think these would be another great activity for him. Thank you for the time you put into posting. It has been extremely helpful to me!
