Print!

Lots of examples of print in the classroom...  What can you do to make your classroom a print-rich environment? How do you help your students make connections between spoken word and print? Is there more that you could do? Do you need suggestions? Let's talk about this topic on Big Tent! :)

Looking for a quick and easy transition activity for your students?

Linking Learning Centers to Themes

One of the things we discuss a lot is making connections between themes and learning centers. For some teachers this comes easily, and for others it can be very challenging. There are lots of resources available to assist you if you don't feel creative or inspired, and I think this would be a good topic for discussion on our Big Tent site. Lean on each other for support, advice and encouragement. We all have great ideas to share, so when you are stuck and need inspiration, ask! I'm willing to bet you will get a response that is helpful!

Here are some pictures I took a few weeks ago...can you guess what the theme was?

And we're back!

...almost! Things are moving, though not as quickly as any of us want them to be.

Please be patient while I update links, etc.

Looking forward to a fantastic year! :)
