A Walk Down Memory Lane

I can't believe that this is my sixth year teaching!  I know that many of you have taught quite a bit longer than I have, but it seriously seems like I was entering the classroom for the first time yesterday!  Since I'm feeling sentimental, let's take a walk down memory lane.  I used to be a Title I Reading Tutor for first and second grade kiddos... once upon a time.  I know I am missing a TON of pictures... because I have some hard copies that I can't seem to find on my computer.  Anyway, with our without them, it's amazing to see how much I've grown as a teacher! 

I still love student notes just as much as I did then!

I used to draw a lot of my room decorations back then!

My very sad library area.

I believe this picture is self-explanatory.

Fundations Stuff

A hand-made sight word game for a Make & Take Parent Night.

I believe this was somehow coordinated with Click Clack Moo.

Phonics Activity

ABC Puzzles-  Some of my kiddos were still working on letter sounds.

Character Study with Officer Buckle & Gloria
I was introduced to Debbie Miller {literally} that year, and my teaching has never been the same.

    It is neat to look at things we used to do or how we decorated before compared to now! This is only my 4th year, but there's still lots of changes!

    I love your Officer Buckle poster! Outside/Inside is a good introduction to what character traits are (and are not!). Thanks for sharing. :)
