<br />
I have been working hard on making some new alphabet cards. I love adding new cards to my classroom each year to compliment my theme!<br />
<br />
These cards have so many uses. I use them for my Alphabet Board, my Word Wall, labeling my library, in small groups, in centers, and for bulletin board headings. I'm sure you creative teaches out there can find even more uses!...and and did I mention they are only $1.00! (the black and white set is a freebie)<br />
<br />
Each set includes a card with the upper and lower case letter, a set with just the uppercase letter, and a set with just the lowercase letter on it.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the cards that I just added to my TpT Store. Check them out <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Amy-Kozlowski">HERE</a>! <br />

Here is my <strike>excuse</strike> story; I took pictures at the beginning of the year when everything was new and neat and fresh, and then I got a new phone and lost all those pictures {sad} so I am finally getting around to taking new pictures and sharing with you all. This year's theme is Sports. Here are a few pictures:<br />

Still not great at uploading pictures, links, documents, etc. So I thought I would start with something easy. I am going to upload a few pictures of my classroom and see how that goes. This is my 5th year teaching, and every year I have done a theme. I just love doing themes. I have so much fun planning and shopping for my classroom. It takes a lot of work every year...and a lot of $, but it is so worth it! The looks on my kiddos faces when they see their new classroom for the first time is priceless! In the past, I have done a jungle, beach, camping and carnival theme. This year I decided to go with PIRATES! Here are a few pictures of my classroom:<br />

I was so excited once I started my little blog, and then.....well, who knows what happened!? But, I am back and more committed this time (I promise!). In my "free time" (Ha!- does free time even exist in a teacher's world!?) <br />
I have been trying to learn more about TpT and how to put some of my materials on there. I haven't posted anything yet, but any advice anyone has would be SO greatly appreciated!<br />

It's called <em>We Give Books. </em><br />
<br />
<em>We Give Books</em> is a free website that lets anyone (with access to the internet) give books to children who don't have them. All you have to do is go to the website: <a href="http://www.wegivebooks.org/">http://www.wegivebooks.org/</a><br />
and read stories online....FOR FREE! :) Does it get cooler than that!? <br />
For each book you read online, <em>We Give Books </em>donates a book to a leading literacy group on your behalf. <br />
The more you read, the more they give! <br />
Go check it out!<br />

I love fall for so many reasons, start of school, fall colors, football, fall decoration, fall activities (apple picking and pumpkin farms), Halloween, and of course shopping for new fall clothes! Oh how that is my favorite!<br />
<br />
I also love doing fall activites with my kiddos! One of my favorite art projects I do with them is making our own fall trees. We have so many beautiful trees right outside our classroom window that we get to enjoy all fal,l that it is such great inspiration to make our own! <br />
This past Friday we took a little walk around our school and collected a ton of beautiful fall leaves. Then we glued them onto trees we traced on paper and made fall scenes. They turned out GREAT and look so fall-ish in our hallway! :)<br />

We have been having such beautiful weather here in WI so I am glad it is finally the weekend and I can enjoy temps close to the 80s! Seriously, for October in WI this is rare!<br />
I wanted to share a fun Friday project I do with my kiddos. On Fridays we make "Our Week In School" newspapers to take home. I love this project for a couple reasons.<br />
<br />
First: It works on their writing skills<br />
Second: It makes them think about the past week and reviews what we have learned<br />
And Lastly: It gives the parents a look into what we have been doing throughout the week (even though I do a weekly newsletter, I can't possibly fit everything into it, so this lets the kids share even more about their week with their families)<br />
<br />
This is my first time trying to upload a document, so fingers crossed that it works! :)<br />

PS: Anyone have tips on how to do this easier? HELP : /Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12867156942341464510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498631899474699848.post-77834519331496747172011-10-04T19:29:00.000-05:002011-10-04T19:29:00.084-05:00Advice Needed : /OK so here's the thing, I was so excited to start a blog but the truth is, I don't know much about blogging. So since I have been so impressed with all the rock star teacher blogs out there, and learned so much about teaching from you all, I thought why not learn about blogging from you guys as well!<br />
<br />
So, if you have any blogging advice for me; blogging etiquette, easiest way to post pictures, how to upload downloadable links, or anything else that a new blogger would need to know, I would be OH SO APPRECIATIVE! :)<br />
*Thanks Much*<br />

I have been a blog stalker since summer, and am excited have a blog of my very own! :)<br />
There are so many fantastic teachers out there who I have learned so much from, and in turn inspired me to create my very own blog.<br />
I'm not exactly sure how this blogging all works, so this will be a work in progress for sure!<br />
