Boo!

OK so i got BOOed! by Lisa over at The Lower Elementary Cottage

Here's what that means: 

If you've been booed, copy and paste the above pic and these "rules" into your post.
 

1.  Give a shout out to the blogger who booed you and link back to their site!

 

2. Share 3-5 October activities, books, products (yours or someone else),

or freebie(s) that you love!

 

3.  Share the Boo love with 5 bloggers- make sure you check this link to make sure you don't boo someone again:

I used both of these clip art packs just last week! My kids used them to match them to different types of nouns and then had to verbally tell me an adjective to describe the noun. They had lots of fun and loved that they got to take all the pictures and sticky notes home!

AWARDS! (but not for me!)

This week, work has me completely focused on one thing: AWARDS! 

I am on the committee to help organize, print, blah blah blah.... all the awards for our school-wide awards assembly. I guess that means i have my work cut out for me this week! Our assembly will be on our last day of school, June 13th and ALL 109 of our special kiddos get recognized! that means sooooooooo many awards need to be printed!!!! Ohmigoodness! (I will live... this year i have a lot of help! Thank you, you know who you are!) 

I know i might not be alone in this awards department and so i thought i would share a few resources for you all to use. Firstly, here's a list of some ideas, creative and straight forward, for awards to be given out at the end of a school year! 

This list is very limited but it is at least a starting point! I guess the most important part about giving awards, especially if you are giving them to all your kiddos, is to make them meaningful! This can be really tricky! You might need ot find that one thing a child has not realized that you noticed at all and then give an award to recognize that aspect! Overall, if you give any awards, I hope your kiddos feel honored! 

Also, here are a few web resources to help you out!! 

Super Teacher Worksheets

Teacher Vision

&

Some awesome printable ones too! 

Are any of my teacher followers doing an in-class awards ceremony? 

Hope this helps and gets you off on the right foot!
