Wow?! Is it really only Thursday?! It really feels like it should be Friday. I’m super excited to share our guided reading stoplight….but first… a story!
My story of the day: I have been coughing a bit and my little ‘stache said: “Bless you.” I said “thank you!” When I coughed again, he said “Mr. Greg you need to take medicines.” After telling him I took some medicine, he said, “OK good, you should feel better soon!” I love how caring my ‘staches are!
The Stoplight
Our centers are rolling along. We have them all up and going except listening. That starts next week. Guided reading is also running smoothly. The only bump we keep hitting is that the ‘staches keep interrupting our guided reading groups. So, I decided to provide them a visual to help them remember to STOP and WAIT!

I'm so glad I found your blog! I have a male Kindergarten teacher in my building, and he too is a rock star! 🙂 I can't wait to see more from you!

Mr. Greg, According to pencil.com “The typical pencil can draw a line 35 miles long!” That fancy pencil sharpener would keep us drawing and writing a long time in my classroom. Thanks for the chance to win.
I HAVE to have a red rug and light now. Thanks. Haha
I love the red rug and the red light! I hope I remember that when I get my classroom!
I absolutely love the red light idea. Thank you, Mr. Greg, for sharing, I can't wait to read more.
Love the idea of the light and carpet! My 3rd/4th can't seem to grasp the “don't bother the teachers when she's working with a small group” idea. I'm soooo stealing this!!

Honey, you need the 5 B's and a D: “blood, barf, bruised, broken, bullied, or dead”! And if you're dead, send someone else to tell me! It takes my seconds a bit to get the joke about dead, but when they do, the whole thing is crystal clear. And I wear my tiara during my groups, so if it's on, you better leave us alone!
Don't tell me about any of it, any time, unless it's the five B's! Use an I Message (I feel _____, when you _____, and would like for you to STOP!)

I teach kindergarten in South Korea, and those pencil sharpeners are ubiquitous here! I love them. It's the only kind you can buy, really.
