Well, here it is Sunday and this is my second post this month! Yay!
Although my new district has teachers assess in a different way. My district does assessments by watching children in their natural play. However, I made an assessment for Pre-K to Kinder teachers for my teacher buddies that need to do hands on/one-on-one assessments. I think it's pretty cool and my first bloggy friends that leave a comment get it for FREE! What, what? Yes, I did say FA-REE! Here's a preview of some of the pages I created. I have a page for all letters upper and lowercase. I also have a student page for all the letters, colors, shapes and numerals to 25. I also included a recording sheet for the teacher, so you can share progress at parent conferences. :) All for the low price of $2. If you aren't one of the lucky 5. Here's the link to my TPT page.
Numero Uno: I'm stoked for this blog I found from the Houston Independent School District. They have a homework calendar for every month, which basically encourages parents interact with their child each day. I like that most of the activities are play based.

#2: Like many of you, I'm scurrying around trying to find sweet, meaningful gifts for those I love. I'm also failing miserably. The problem is I have this nasty little thing called a budget. I have grand ideas of what I'd like to get all my loved ones, but the reality is I don't get any more money in November and December than in any other month. {Le sigh} So I found this cute little book about making gifts in a jar. Then {genius} I looked up the topic on Pinterest and found a ton of ideas! I don't know if I will actually do this or if this is just a half-witted idea. Have you ever done gifts in a jar or received one? What did you think, honestly?

#3 I'm currently in L-O-V-E with all manner of scarves. I know it's the 80's child inside me screaming to be let out, but I just love scarves. I have a particular love for infinity scarves, but know that my neck truly is too short to wear one right. I'm strangely intrigued with making my own, but not worried that I can't sew. (My daughter can!)
Here's a DIY link to make your own, in case you can actually sew.
#4 In case you haven't heard of it. Songza. It's awesome. It's a lot like Pandora, but it asks you what mood you are in and finds songs to fit your moods. Loving it!
#5 This week, I will do five loads of laundry. The laundry room is getting out of control. :( Where do all those clothes come from?
Have a happy short week!
See you soon racoon!

I also teach pre-k. Honestly assessment is probably the hardest thing for me. I would love your assessment. Kathy_hauch@yahoo.com
