FINALLY AND MATH

Finally I found a desk configuration that meets my needs!  My first graders are in their groups of 5, and my second graders are in rows surrounding them.  Now everyone can see the board, and there is plenty of classroom space left over for the various centers!

Today I also received a great gift!  I have not received my First Grade Math consumable worksheets as of yet.  I had the first 2 units left over from last year, which came in very handy!  Unit 3 starts on Monday and I do not have the new materials yet.  However, I was given 3 boxes of partial worksheet sets left over from previous years (yay!), though not in any order (boo!).  I simply haven't found the time to organize those boxes.  Well, today, the District Math Specialist came by and asked if I needed any help.  I asked her, "How much time do you have?"  he-he!  She very graciously offered to help.  I only asked her to find Units 3 and 4 to get me by, but she went ahead and put everything in order!  Everything!  I was so thankful that I gave her a hug!  She saved me countless hours of work!  Talk about a great gift!

Hubby is coming by the classroom next week to organize my 2nd grade leveled readers.  6 boxes of books out of order.  That will be a great gift too!  :)
