I've been working in my room a few days last week and the past two days. I think I have everything done in terms of decorating and setting up the class. I just got all my books entered in the program "Classroom Booksource" website. I love it but it did take a long time to get every book entered in the computer. I've found out that i have over 800 books!! WOW! It really doesn't seem like I have that many but I guess I do. (Don't tell my husband. ha ha) I have to enter the students and they are ready to check out books from our classroom library. This should be interesting. I'm excited to introduce it to them and hoping they can catch on and learn how to check out books.
Have you heard of the website "Xtra Math?" It's a free math facts website. The students get a password (4 numbers) and log in. They take a pre test to see where they are at and then go from there. It is strictly math facts. 1st grade focuses on addition. If you haven't already, you need to go check it out. I am hoping to get this started at the beginning of the year.
We go back to school on Monday but the students don't start until Wednesday. Yesterday we had registration so I went up to the school to meet my students. I'm excited to get this year started!!
