An Update and a Link Party

Hi everyone! I'm checking in for an update about our last week of October!

We had an amazing Halloween! We're lucky at our school and we all get to dress up for the day. TONS of kids dressed up this year--there were some really great costumes!! Here's my class:

Check out the face paint on that Stitch!! My teaching partner was Princess Leia to go with my Vader. (We're awesome)

I'll be changing up my Reader's Workshop stations a bit this coming week, so I'm going to see how it goes! I know that changing routines for kinders is tough, but I'm hoping the new system will work better in the long run.
This week I'm planning on using Kim Adsit's Interactive Chart for the Five Little Ducks. I'm so excited to use it!! I KNOW my kids will love it!

Now, time for the link party! I saw this one on TGIF! and I love seeing how other schools schedule their day. Here's our current schedule:
