Classroom Signs

Some signs I made to start our new school year:
I saw this on pinterest and was inspired and had to make it. It's a reminder to myself that I want to teach my kids character, not just textbooks.
I know I will be saying this to my oldest throughout this school year! (Just spray painted a piece of wood someone was getting rid of and wrote words with the kids' finger paints.)

Letter Pp Week (And Rest of Year Wrap-Up)

We finished off P with some activities and did a fun pom pom activity to boost motor skills and counting.
 We only made it through letter P and then summer hit. We finished up our letter book and number tracing and letter tracing pages and shape practice that we've been doing all year. We also finished up our ice cream scoop colors and will leave that up for next year. Here's the only picture of the world-wind of work we did in a few weeks:
Can't wait for the new school year to come soon!
