Symmetry City- seat partners across from one another and have one build a city scene that the other must copy/make symmetrical.
Good idea for next year and would make a good review activity.

Why do students not know how to play kickball anymore!
THIS IS ALL WE PLAYED
I subbed at a school once where the teacher actually took her students out and taught them the rules, I am doing this when I get my own class…Every child should know how to play kickball.

I just had this conversation during field day! It’s amazing what the kids of today don’t know how to do.

I created a custom calendar for my classroom, and since I have thirty students this year, each one of them gets to be a calendar day!
The calendar is made of thick poster paper with clear plastic stapled to make sleeves. The photos are square-cropped and laminated.
I created little icons — for birthdays, holidays, special days, and test days — that can be sticky-tacked right above the photos when appropriate.

This is really cute, I can have my kids do double duty on the dates.

The Educator's Classroom: Teaching About Yourself

I have and will continue to do this in my classroom. This year my students are more challenging and only a couple out of 11 got it. I tell myself that the rest are just seeds and someone else’s water will yield a crop.

50 Multicultural Books Every Child Should Read
I absolutely love Round is a Mooncake, and so do my kids! I read it every year as part of our writing curriculum, but I’d read it even if no required. The illustrations are wonderful.
Interesting list, I never heard of the book you mentioned.

Washington D.C. Field Trip
(walking along the National Mall to the various memorials)
Student: Miss D, I keep seeing signs for the mall, but I don’t see any stores around here.
Me: *face palm*
This is too funny, my daughter was in 5th grade when we went and she was wondering the same thing.
