A Year in Review... My Favorites

I was just thinking about all the things I did in 2011, and realized that I have been blogging for exactly one year now. My how time flies! Here are some of my favorites from the year:

My first real blog post!

These question words have served my kids well.

The Quiz Me Can. 

This was a popular one that I still enjoy using with my high readers.

 I opened my Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook stores.

My kids did an awesome job on our animal research project.

I organized my teacher library.

I hosted Organization Week.

I created Phonics Friends which was quite a success in my classroom!

 

I created summer writing notebooks for my students.

I participated in the math workstations book study. (Lots of freebies here!)

That led me to create my LINK Math Workshop Plans. (Which is my favorite thing to teach in my classroom now!)

I was moved to teach Kindergarten. Now that the beginning of school has passed, I can happily say that I am loving my job teaching kinder! (Apparently, I need to take more classroom photos since the room actually has tables now!)

I found a new way to organize my Listening Center.

I had 3 donors choose projects funded.

 

We ended the year with some cute Christmas activities.

Phew! This has been quite a year. As I look back on the end of the year, I realize that the stress of changing grade levels caused me to severely lack in writing blog posts. I haven't even created anything for TPT in months! For next year, I plan to take more time to post about the things going on in my kindergarten classroom and to create more things I can share.

I hope you had a wonderful 2011. Happy new year!
