NEWSFLASH

I LOVE to blog stalk and don't post very often (working on that this year), well, I headed over to April Larremore's blog Chalk Talk at http://larremoreteachertips.blogspot.com and read the MOST EXCITING news......(insert drum roll here)......She is now going to be blogging about Pre-K!  Her new job is a pre-k instructional specialist. 
I am thrilled to hear this news!
 I have been a preschool special education teacher  for 17 years (autism/preschool resource specialist for a couple of those)!!
I LOVE PRESCHOOLERS!!!!
I guess you can say this has inspired me to find the time to share things I do in my classroom.  Hoping to download some pictures from this week soon and get the posting party started!

OMG!  How long has it been????  Well, it's summertime and I want to re-start this blog!!!
SO, here I go.......

Valentine Teaser!

Here are my Valentine Boxes from 2 years ago!  It's a shoe box with a heart person who has the mouth cut out for a place to put Valentine's.....cute & functional!  You can also see my bulletin board that said....Welcome to the Pre-K Corral.....had a western theme for my first year at Mill Creek Elementary-Go Mavericks!
 

Sally Sound Muncher

Here is my sweet Sally the Sound Muncher that my class loves so!  Do you have a sound muncher?  Maybe we could start a Linky Party?!  Can someone in blog-land help me out???
We feed her things (objects & pictures) that begin with the sound/letter of the week.  I started having kiddos bring in things to add to our letter boxes a few years ago and they continue to grow!  I will post some pictures of the letter boxes soon.
Next to Sally is our Math Muncher (Piggy the Pig).  

Here's a few pics!

Here are a few pictures of my room & the hall.  I can't believe school started 4 weeks ago!  I need to finally get busy and get you up to date on what these busy preschoolers have been doing.

Oh, and just to let you know I have a FABULOUS group of kiddos (and parents) this year!!!
I will try to post the owl pattern soon.  They turned out waaay cuter that I thought they would.  All different, just like my kiddos!  and the Gumball bulletin board was found SOMEWHERE from SOME WONDERFUL teacher who I'm sure has a blog that I have stalked!!!
Promise to post more soon....this was just a little teaser!!  :)

A special kind of class: Amazing Story

I saw this link on A Special Kind of Class' blog today while looking around and I just had to share it.  This little girl is AMAZING and blessed with great parents and teachers who did not give up on her!
