My Capstone Library

I am in the process of giving the class blog a makeover and have decided to already officially transfer the blog to www.cotracy.blogspot.com.  I came back from Vegas about 2 weeks ago and am already looking forward to my next vacations to the west coast. I know it’s summer and I shouldn’t be thinking about work but I have already started translating classroom curriculum for next year and planning for this upcoming school year. I know, I know. I am a workaholic. Since the school year gets SOOOO busy, I am slowly preparing things so then during the school year, I can focus more on prepping materials rather than planning and prepping.

I hope my little friends have been getting a lot of sun rays and have been enjoying their first month of summer off. Before departing off from each other for the summer, Mrs. Richey introduced an interactive website for the kids to go to online to enjoy books from the library. I really like the website for the kids. It’s easy to use and they have books on there that we personally have in our very own Summitt library. I cannot stress how important it is for them to still continue reading…even though it’s summer. Just 20 minutes a day or even every other day.

HAPPY SUMMER Y'ALL!

HELLO! HAPPY SUMMER TO EVERYONE!

I am so sorry it’s taken me awhile to post an end-of-the-year posting. Ever since we ended school, I have been so busy with graduations, birthdays, and planning a bachelorette for my best friend.

Now that it’s summer, it’s been bittersweet. I am lovin’ this relaxation but I really do miss the little ones. I had such a great first year of teaching. I even won the “Teacher of Promise” award on campus! It was totally unexpected. For those wondering what the “Teacher of Promise” is, it’s an award for new teachers on campus. I hope your child had a great and fun year in first grade! I also want to say thank you to the parents for your continuous support this year whether it be for volunteering in the classroom or even supplying our class with school supplies or anything needed. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Teachers were told we had to clean our room by June 6^th, the day after school was let out for the summer so I spent about a total of TEN hours cleaning, organizing, and storing classroom materials away. I’m going to admit. This was not fun. Who knew so much dust could appear in 9 months!

I put together a recap slideshow of the school year for the kiddos on a CD so they could remember all the fun times we had learning this year. Just in case they have lost it already, I will post it below.

I will be changing the website name to www.cotracy.blogspot.com for next year probably after summer time.  I will still be posting here and there in the summer JEveryone is still welcomed to check out the blog even though the children will be in 2^nd grade.
