Well, the only thing for sure is...

Yes, death and taxes!   You see, I think my K4-K5 class just got switched up a bit. It looks as if I will be teaching first grade also.  I really did enjoy my K5-1 class last year so....   On it goes!  I should be getting an aid to help with the K4s in the mornings and since they go home at 11:30 I should be able to concentrate on the K5-1 afternoon fun stuff.  Time will tell..  For now I will continue to work on K5 lesson plans since all scenarios include them.

Classroom Library

Whew!  I'm weary already and I've only just begun.  I've entered data for 453 books on Classroom Organizer but I haven't even made a dent in my books.  I just keep telling myself how great it will be to have this task completed.  There have been way too many times I have purchased a book only to discover I already had it .  I just couldn't find it.

I have searched and searched for suggestions on how to label and categorize the books.  The best advice I found was to choose your main categories and everything else goes into the reading level bins.  So, I currently have 12 categories and 4 leveled bins.  A-C, D-F, G-J, and K-... are my levels.  I might end up switching them around if I get too many in a bin.  I got my bins at Target and I really like the sizes.

I need to figure out if I want to pass along my M- books to the 1-2 grade teacher.  I doubt my kinders will reach those levels.

Off to bed!  I will dream of ISBN numbers and Guided Reading Levels.  Zzzzzzz!
