A Kindergarten Smorgasboard FIve For Friday FREEBIE!

Today was the last day of school for us! It was the last day for students but I have some work days next week but I consider myself on summer vacation. That means lots of sun, naps, tons of new creations and 3 presentations to prepare the kindergarten conference in Vegas!

Here is my first Five For Friday of the summer with a much requested FREEBIE!

This week we celebrated C for crazy hair. You can’t really tell but that’s definitely purple glittery hair! I had glitter all over me and the school…I love glitter!

Yes. I. Did. Thanks to my TBFF Jenny for playing along with me! I am so excited to work with her on the same team next year. We are going to be a WILD K team next year! Check out her amazing clip art at The Hartmann Sparkle!

This is my buddy Alex. He was very sad today. He wouldn’t take his backpack off all morning and never smiled once. I am so thankful to have had this incredible kid in my class. He was awarded the Fan-Stache-Tic Personal Assistant Award yesterday for always taking care of me! Love him!

And, now here are some of our Fan-STACHE-Tic end of the year awards!!!!!!

Fire Drill made me cry again today. Her dad pulled up at dismissal and she jumped into my arms and squeezed. I owe so much to that little ‘stache. She won the Fan-STACHE-Tic Shantasia award for always being HER!

And…this school year began with her yelling this word at me: “HUH?” and it ended perfectly today when I said her name and she yelled out “HUH?”

This was my absolute best year of teaching my most favorite class ever. Period.

And here’s your freebie! I made our Fan-STACHE-tic awards editable and free. You’ll need to download some fonts (links in the freebie). Just download, open the file in PowerPoint and type!

HAPPY SUMMER!

I put my entire TPT store on sale for 20% off today and tomorrow to celebrate the end of the school year!

I'll bet you had a particularly tough time saying goodbye to that little fire drill! I've been teaching for 37 years now, and I think every class has been my favorite class. It just keeps getting better!

Greg,
Great post–I've loved seeing how much your students have grown this year (academic and social/emotionally). Congrats on an excellent year! I have a feeling you'll have a few more great one like this.

Hello Friday and the end of the longest week EVER. It seemed like this week was going to go on forever and ever. I could crawl into bed and sleep…but my plan to take over the world doesn’t allow for that…so onward I go!

I am linking up with Doodlebugs Teaching for Five For Friday!

This week our 2-4 grade did their Disney Spectacular. I got to play the part of the big bad wolf! Here’s your Fire Drill story of the week: When the show was performed for the students, FD was terrified of the big bad wolf (never mind that my class was all shouting “MR. GREG!”). And then when I dove behind the third house to pretend I was going down the chimney she was even more horrified that I really went down the chimney. After the song was over, I popped up and pulled off my mask. She threw her arms up in shock that it was me. The video is nothing but priceless. That one is one of a kind!

Everyone meet Alex. You’ve seen him with a glittery mustache over his face for the entire school year! Now I get to reveal the face behind the glitter. Alex is my personal assistant. If I need help he’s on it. Empty water bottle? Never happens. The instant the bottle is empty, Alex grabs it and fills it up. I am going to have to hire him after he moves up to first grade. Love. this. kid.

I mean, how freakin’ awesome is this?! A great lesson on adjectives and if you’re having a bad day you’ll feel really good about yourself when your kids describe you. I mean who doesn’t want to be wobbly sparkly and hairy?!

Check out my awesome mustached glittered personalized cup from my friend Mrs. Hoffer. She makes awesome personalized cups….mine has my 3 favorite things? Glitter. Mustaches. And ME! Head over to her blog to check out her cups and get yourself a few!

And tell her Greg sent ya!

And finally, who doesn’t love GoNoodle. If you don’t use it in your class, go sign up right now. GoNoodle is a free (paid upgrade is an option too!) brain break website. The 5 minute brain breaks are amazing. My ‘staches beg to GoNoodle all day long. It really has helped our behavior and learning….and the cool part is that GoNoodle is our neighbor in Nashville so I have been hanging out with Taylor from GoNoodle. And they hook us up with sweet swag! It’s ok to be jealous of our GoNoodle sweatbands. AND I get to hang out at the GoNoodle headquarters next week!!! Serioulsy…I am so lucky!

And now a fantastic freebie….Last week I spent the day with my new Kindergarten team planning for next year. People, we planned our entire year. And by popular demand, I am sharing our year long plan with you! Yeah…whole. year. planned.
