Up for the Challenge!

After reading so many incredible blogs lately, I decided it would be fun to share what I am doing in my own Kindergarten class.  My goal is to foster emergent literacy, as well as, add magic to a child's first experience with school.  Only a small handful of my students have actually had any preschool, so this is it....what will shape and form their concepts of learning. 

 I was blessed to move to Kindergarten from 7th grade eight days into the school year.  With the help of my amazing team of teachers, I embraced the challenge of being the fifth, full-day Kindergarten Teacher. 

I love to collaborate and share ideas!  Please feel free to comment and post ways that we can help each other be successful.  We have recently adopted the Common Core in WA and I am working to align my curriculum to it.  Any suggestions are most welcome.
