10 Followers and a Freebie!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! 10 Followers! You can't see me but I am doing a happy dance! I know this doesn't mean much to those of you who have thousands of followers (as you should), but I am over the moon that there are people out there who love blogging and blog stalking as much as me! If you're here... follow me, too!!!
For my new followers, I have a freebie!
While some of you are kicking your feet up and enjoying your summer vacation, I still have 1 more week with my kinder kiddos. For my last day of school, I will be making my kiddos some cookies with a cute "you are a smart cookie" label. I will also read Miss Bindergarten Says Goodbye to Kindergarten. This book is the cutest! I'm sure all of my fellow Kindergarten teachers have all heard of Miss Bindergarten.
Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the Last Day of Kindergarten (Miss Bindergarten Books)

In this book, she goes through the day and cleans up the classroom saying goodbye to each of her students. At the end, she gives them all a goodbye gift, "A penny for success to come, a kiss to know you'll be missed." So precious, right?
I have made a label/card for my students to give them each a penny and a kiss. I plan to type each of their names in it and write a special note to each of them on the back. I have already started to think of the special messages I want to give to each of them. I really am going to miss this class!

Here is my template for the taking...

On another note, I am reading all kinds of posts about classroom management and I'd like to post my ideas soon. I know that many of you are like me and the "teacher brain" never turns off! I, too, am thinking of how to organize, rearrange and revamp my classroom! Especially with my new co-teacher moving her desk in to my teeny-tiny classroom (pictures to come). Phew! I have a lot to work to do and I LOVE IT!

Come back soon!

    I am so glad that I found you blog - you have great ideas. I am looking forward to following you. I am always looking for kindergarten blogs to follow. Can I ask where you found a grant to apply for to get ipads for you classrooms? That is so great! Please stop by my blog when you have a chance!

      Hello! I saw your Co-Kindering name and thought, "Is this someone who speaks my language?" You do! I am also a co-teacher, as a matter of fact my co-teacher just moved in to my classroom! I'm glad you like my blog, I'm already following yours =)
      The grant was through LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) and funded by ARRA (a government initiative) in order to provide a technology rich classroom in charter schools. I was awarded last summer and found out recently that it was only last summer. I had my eye on another one of the goodies but unfortuately they will not be doing this anymore. =( Although, DonorsChoose has been really good to me too! If you don't know about DonorsChoose follow my link above, it is AMAZING!
      Thanks for stopping by!
