Such a great way to display "positive" thoughts for your students to see everyday and they participated in making them, so they will have more meaning for them. Congrats on starting your 10th year. I totally agree, it doesn't matter how long we've been teaching I still don't really sleep the night before school starts. Have a great year!<br /><br />~Laura<br /><b><a href="http://luvmykinders.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Luv My Kinders</a></b>Luv My Kindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641547553247759233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600324424338377368.post-13718878540986694382014-09-07T12:22:09.611-04:002014-09-07T12:22:09.611-04:00Sounds like it was a great first week!

Knowing I don't have kids that first day helps immensely!<br /><br />And I'm totally with you on having to look for unique books to read. I have a list that I kind of hoard, especially since I'm also "competing" with their classroom teachers for new books. Unfortunately that means a lot of the books I find aren't in our library...<br /><br /><a href="http://dontlettheteacher.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Don't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late</a>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762275993886922409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600324424338377368.post-73691284257723924492014-09-07T11:36:43.441-04:002014-09-07T11:36:43.441-04:00Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandy!Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandy!Rachel Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503039770940173303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600324424338377368.post-32362585241550625172014-09-07T11:36:32.283-04:002014-09-07T11:36:32.283-04:00You're welcome!

They received major compliments from my principal this year!<br /><br />Sara :)<br /><a href="http://www.thecolorfulapple.com" rel="nofollow">The Colorful Apple</a>The Colorful Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336266411841240877noreply@blogger.com
