Some Websites I Love!

I am currently taking an Instructional Technology course and I had the opportunity to put together a list of all the websites that I find useful in my teaching. I have attached the link to my "Delicious" page. Please check out some of the great websites and I would love for you to comment and leave some websites that you think I could add to my list. Thanks so much! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

What a busy week it has been in our Kindergarten Classroom! With wonderful winter weather to start off the week, the kids were excited to play in the snow! We ended the week by celebrating St. Patrick's Day! The leprechaun brought us a few surprises and continued to play tricks throughout the day! With "Magic" applesauce, tipping over chars, and leaving some of his gold- it was a very successful and fun-filled day!

I have to say the applesauce was their favorite- I found this activity online- the joys of teaching blogs :) I added Lime Jello mix to the applesauce to make it turn green- they were fascinated! I would like to know if you have any other fun St. Patrick's Day activities that your students seem to enjoy? Please Share!
