Quite an eventful day couple of days, y'all. It started last week when one of my most darling, helpful, kind, sweeties was abruptly withdrawn from school. My heart just broke because of the circumstances of it all. As I left the office after saying goodbye, I was told I'd have a new student joining my class the following day. Not knowing what to expect the following day, I informed my kiddos about our new student and reminded them to make smart choices so we can show our new friend how to act. Well, new student came and my classroom was turned upside down. We somehow managed to survive and had the most wonderful surprise yesterday. My sweetie who withdrew waltzed through the door announcing that she was coming back to our school. I nearly cried and my kiddos were so excited. There was all sorts of hugging and cheering...it was adorable! I am so thankful for the terrific group of kiddos I have this year, even my new little friend. :)
Moving on...we've been working on developing number sense and I created this number sort to use during math centers. There are 6 cards for each number: numeral, number word, tens and ones, objects, tallies, and ten frames. Just click the picture to grab it for F-R-E-E!
And one last thing, National Board Take One! scores will be released tomorrow morning... eeeeek! I may not be sleeping much tonight. Be on the lookout for more freebies :)
Isn't it just worst when the sweetest students leave the school. I always feel like it's the most helpful or super sweet students who end up moving or what not. Though I am very happy your darlin' student got to come back. I hope all will go well with the new student. Sometimes it can be tough teaching new students the school routine & procedures after months of being in school when you feel like all the other students finally started coming together. Thanks so much for sharing.

It always seems that the friends who join us in the middle of the year need us the most...and are usually quite the characters! I hope that everything works out with your new little one!

I just found you through pinterest- someone pinned your greater less than freebie. So glad they did, so I could find your cute little blog. I'm a new follower. How did that National Board Take One go?
