A Peek into my 2012-2013 Kindergarten Classroom - Ocean/Beach Theme

This has been, by far, my favorite PBIS theme yet! I have loved walking around our school looking at everyone’s rooms and bulletin boards. I am so proud of all the effort everyone put into making their rooms look so amazing! I may have to get permission from my co-workers to take pictures of their rooms and share some of their wonderful ideas with you, too. 

We started school last Wednesday, so I finally feel like I can breathe this weekend. I hope you enjoy a little peek into my classroom!



These are my job pockets. Every child in my classroom has a new job each week. I just move the name card over a pocket each Monday. This way, I never have to keep track of anything. If I get more students, I add more jobs.
















 My daughter started Kindergarten this week, so we gave this cute flip flop plaque to her teacher.


I think most of my pictures are probably pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions about how I use something or the source for an item, feel free to ask.

PBIS Summer Institute and a fun treat!

I just got back from the SW Positive Behavior Support Summer Institute at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, MO. Were any of you there? The most valuable things I learned were ways to increase positive behavior on the bus (our biggest problem area) and lots of new student and teacher incentives. We got to stay right next to the lake one night and waking up the next morning was so peaceful!

We are getting ready for our fourth year of implementation of PBIS and I'm really looking forward to our Ocean/Beach theme for the year. I've already found lots of great ideas for decorating and I'm enjoying looking for more fun incentives to reward my kiddos that go along with our fun theme. Please feel free to share if you have any great ideas!


When I got home, I found a huge box waiting for me and I couldn't wait to open it!

I had won a giveaway at Teaching Heart in May and received a bag full of surprises including the following items: Teaching Heart reusable shopping bag, stuffed lamb, The Very Busy Spider (hardcover), Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 DVD, note cards, stickers, two fun pens and a CD of lots of Teaching Heart products.

This week, I will be hosting two fun giveaways, so be sure to watch for them!
