I am so excited to guest posting for Ashley! I am so happy for her to have her husband home! I remember the day my sister’s US Navy ship returned from the war in Iraq! I might or might not have cried…and I definitely knocked people over when I spotted her in the crowd!
I have been racking my brain for something to blog about and I keep coming up blank. Finally, I decided to share a little about my daily kindergarten routine! I hope you find some inspiration or ideas from my post…or at least get a chuckle!
I thought about just talking all about myself… because I love me! hehe I love my iPad…smelly markers…bright colors…laughing…sarcasm…clip art (I am addicted!) and GLITTER! If it’s sparkly, I am all over it! But I thought I would at least give you something education related…
Anyone who walks by my classroom probably thinks it’s chaos…but it’s organized chaos…at least in my mind it is organized!
