Work in Progress

I thought I would post some photos of our classroom. It is a "work in progress" right now. The above photo shows the home work station. That is one of several work stations where the children will work/play every day. We will have 6 tables or Learning Clubs for students. I didn't have enough plants for my tables, so I need to do some shopping. The turtle and the fish have not arrived at school yet. The trash cans are full from unpacking and I need to do some tidying, too.

You can see the big book work station in this photo and some of the tables (more trash, too!). The blue top boxes under the Smartboard are the children's individual book boxes that they will read from everyday during Read to Self or Read to Someone time.


This shows our reading work station, the pocket chart work station, part of our whole group meeting area, and the bulletin board that highlights the theme we are working on. The board is not finished yet. We will be learning about friendship at the beginning of the year.

That is all for now. Can't wait for school to start!

Mrs. Bumgarner and I want to welcome all of our new students and their parents to our classroom. We are very excited to be joining the LMES family and are looking forward to getting to know our students and their families. We will be posting news from our classroom on this blog.

Right now I would like to introduce myself. My name is Terri Miller and I have been teaching kindergarten for 35 wonderful years. It never gets old because every year I have new students and new challenges. Kindergarten is absolutely the best place to be. I am married and my husband, Phil, works for Goody2Shoes. We live in Columbia with our dog, Eddie, and three cats. Our children are grown. Our son, Matt, and his wife, Katherine, live in Atlanta and our daughter, Caitlin, lives in Mt. Pleasant.

I have never tried blogging before so this will be a learning experience for me. I have also written a grant at donorschoose.org. You can find a link for this on the top right side of this page. Maybe you know someone who would like to fund all or part of this grant. Spread the word.

Until next time.........smiles,
Mrs. Miller :-)
