I started another blog that will chronicle my <strong>Journey into TK</strong>. See, that is the name of the new blog :) I am just starting, and I know I wasted almost all year of sharing all that I have been doing, but I have to say learning to work outside the home, getting my 4 boys up, showered, to school and sports, being a wife, housekeeper, cook, etc... has really taken a lot of getting used to!! I can't believe how tired I am after doing all of the above, then spending time on lesson plans and getting ready for a new theme or unit for school. It is crazy. But, I have lots of great things I did this year and I will start blogging about it now. I have to go through my thousands of photos to find ones without the kids faces on it, but I am sure I have a few things I can share :)<br />
<br />
So, if you'd like to stop over and visit my new blog that would be great!! <br />
<br />
It is called<a href="http://journeyintotk.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Journey into TK</a>, which you can link to by clicking on the title or go to <a href="http://journeyintotk.blogspot.com/">journeyintotk.blogspot.com</a>... <br />

I have been so busy I haven't been able to get on my post. I also can't post photos of the kids from my class, so since ALL my photos are pretty much of the kids, or have the kids in it, I am figuring out how to post just the things we are doing. <br />
<br />
I am loving my new job. Teaching is such a passion that I have immersed myself in everything about making our classroom into everything it can be!! I will try to get up and running again.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13030119452735812171noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949174132539070142.post-45424562921071907002012-09-03T18:52:00.003-07:002012-09-03T18:52:42.849-07:00A New Beginning<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a crazy summer and new school year. I have begun my new job as a teacher's assistant in a Transitional Kindergarten at a private school nearby. I have to say, as much as I miss my little ones, I am having the time of my life. I had forgotten how much fun18 4 & 5 yr olds can be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am having a tough time deciding if I should just continue blogging here, under this blog title or start a new blog. I guess today I will just write here...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beginning a new year with new children, children I had no past with, was a little scary, but I enjoyed getting to know them. My co-teacher and I worked hard to make our room fun and inviting and came up with some great centers for the kids to explore. I was able to bring in my light table and some great science bottles and the kids really enjoyed exploring with them. We got right down to business, something I was never used to. It always took a few weeks to get our daily routines down and begin trusting each other again. Our children were great and ready to begin working, playing and having fun!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started our first week with an All About Me theme and I used some play dough mats I had where the kids could make their faces, they really loved it. This week we are beginning a Getting to Know Our School theme... I can't wait to set up a "Classroom" in our housekeeping area... the kids are going to LOVE it!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I will decide what to do about beginning a new blog or keeping this one, before I begin a new post. Hope everyone's week and weekend was great!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been kinda hard to write on the blog lately. You see, I am closing Kozy Kids Family Childcare down. I have received an offer to assist in a transitional kindergarten class next year, and I decided to take the position. Although I know I will enjoy this new adventure, leaving behind this one has been hard for me. Knowing that I will not be here to greet the kids after summer is over has been very sad, and I have been avoiding the blog as it reminds me to much of what I am giving up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Family Childcare is just that, an extended family. Each child I let through my door, invariably becomes part of me and wiggles their way into my heart. I will miss them more than I know how to admit. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started off with the same kit as last year, I let the kids dunk their shirts in water and squeeze the water out, then they picked their design from a little colored pamphlet in the tie dye box. I did the best I could to simulate the design like the photos and rubber banded them up. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year we used the same kit and made 6 shirts and had lots of color dye left over... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, we ran out a lot quicker. I guess the little ones squeezed the bottles harder or something, because we were lucky to get enough color for the 5 shirts we did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the final products were great!!!</div>

Seeing little ones play with water is so wonderful, how can we not see the benefits of this type of hands on, play oriented learning. Not only did the kids learn about properties of water, like temperature, sinking and floating, and cause and effect... but they also had to work together, reinforcing patience, problem solving, spatial awareness, social cues, and so much more. Lessons don't always have to be planned and executed to get to the end result... just having fun and playing brings our children to a place they need to be, to be the well rounded students they will become!!</div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13030119452735812171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949174132539070142.post-44927349767647214122012-05-15T10:52:00.000-07:002012-05-15T10:53:27.500-07:00Another Year Older<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anytime there is a birthday the birthday child gets to be the "helper" for the day. Being the helper of the day includes not only being able to wash hands first, or getting to the table first, it also means that during Circle Time they get to complete all the tasks on our Circle Time Center... which is a coveted job on any day, but to be able to do ALL of them is really the icing on the cake, especially for our littlest friends!!</div>

We have been very busy at Childcare this week!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing that has peaked the kids interest is making patterns. </div>

Now, every where I go I seem to be finding patterns.</div>

We decided to move on to making patterns with names...<br />"Roo, Little Man, Roo, Little Man..." and<br />"Scamp, Sprout, Scamp, Sprout..." <br /><br />I am sure you can imagine that when we get on a roll, everything, and I mean everything becomes part of a pattern...<br />but how much fun and laughter there is to be had when we make some silly ones!! <br /></td></tr>

We have scoured my yard for a caterpillar this year, but to no avail. We think maybe we missed them due to the warm weather this Spring. So, we decided to become caterpillar's ourselves...</div>

After we finished being butterflies we decided to make some coffee filter butterflies. I love process art, and we do some sort of process art everyday, but because it is more process over product it either doesn't make it into the blog post, or even go home for that matter. I may just have the project out to help with a certain goal or fine motor skill I am working on with the kids. When I was going through some past activities about the life cycle of a caterpillar/butterfly I came across this craft. I love it because it has the element of process art, but with just a little help from Shell, we get a beautiful butterfly at the end. The kids were able to help with the gluing all I did was the folding and pulling the wings apart at the end. I think our butterflies came out gorgeous!!!</div>

We are reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle this week. We really love this story because there is so much we can do with it. We have been looking outside for a caterpillar to add to our bug habitat, singing silly butterfly/caterpillar songs, and even acting out the story. Chomping through all those yummy foods like the caterpillar is always fun!! Today we decided to make our very own caterpillar... we looked at photos of them, we studied the caterpillar from our book and noticed that he was made up of sections... wow!! I had some already cut out circles from a different project and we used them to create a colorful caterpillar. </div>

Working on Independent or Self Help skills with the little ones can be very timed consuming and result in a lot of mess or frustration, but in the long run it is SO worth it. We have been working on washing our hands independently for a long time, and Scamp is finally beginning to get it. She is careful to get ON and OFF the stool, getting the soap has become very popular, and of course the washing can't be beat. We sing a song when we wash, that way we know we have washed long enough to get all those itty bitty germs, and Scamp wiggles her body when she is singing (or I'm singing) and now that she is doing it herself somewhat, she just wiggles and doesn't sing. To Cute!!! Putting the time and effort in to help the kids reach these milestones is really worth it in the end!! Not only am I proud of them, but they are so proud of themselves.</div>

Scamp has been cracking herself up these last 2 days!! In doing so, the rest of us can't help but crack up. I don't know about you, but there are only a few 18 month old's that I know who can make a joke, but joke she has been doing.</div>

If your wondering what Scamp is doing... she is walking BACKWARDS, UP a little hill and falling down, then laughing of course!!! Her little shoulder would go up every time she would walk backwards, like it was helping to keep her balance!! She thought this whole thing was the funniest thing ever... We Did Too!!!</div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13030119452735812171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949174132539070142.post-923297815269115802012-04-11T11:01:00.001-07:002012-04-11T13:49:22.011-07:00Having FunI have been very bad about posting the past 2 weeks... sorry about that!! It has been Spring Break for the families and I am down in numbers. This means we get to do some things we don't ordinarily get to do. We have been to the park, the library, we even stopped by the grocery store to pick out our lunch today. <br />
<br />
I didn't have my camera with me much this week, but I will try to snap some shots tomorrow. We are planning on taking a little hike and maybe stop for some ice cream tomorrow, and who else know's what may pop into our minds to do... but whatever it is, we will likely be movin, shakin, and learnin as we go!!!!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying their week!!!Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13030119452735812171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949174132539070142.post-48960094069219585902012-04-05T12:32:00.003-07:002012-04-05T12:32:48.095-07:00We've Been Busy!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a wonderful day at the park!! Our community has this gorgeous park they opened last summer and now that the Spring weather is here we can begin to enjoy it again!! It has something for just about everyone and a parent/provider can see everything, which makes keeping an eye on those faster preschoolers a lot easier!!!</div>
