Well, Ashley over at Fierce in Fourth has a blog hop over Jitters! This also goes perfectly with the book
3 Things that I'm jittery about:
1. I want to implement Daily 5 into my classroom. Due to when I started teaching I saw parts of Four Block and Six-Traits...but never fully implemented them into what I did. I also learn by observing...so I have the Daily 5 book but I really wish I could see it in practice. I'm going to read the book and we'll see what happens. #Jittery
2. My kiddos. I'm always nervous about the first day of school...I guess kinda like one of the kids. I also plan a lot but am worried about keeping them engaged on the first day. #ALittleJittery
3. Open House! Like I mentioned in another post...I think...my school is doing an Open House/Meet the Teacher night the night before school!!! I'm excited about this but not only will I be meeting 20 firsties (many for the first time) but I'll be meeting their parents, too. Normally we do an Open House a few weeks after school starts and I've had a little time to get to know the kiddos and I can greet them when they walk in THEN I talk to their parents. #QuiteJittery
What are your Jitters??

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love the name of you blog - too cute!
I love, love, love the Daily Five. I usually do only 4 - read to self, read to someone, listen to reading and work on words. This year I'm going to try to add the writing in as well since it's been such a big push in our state.
Thanks for stopping by & saying hi!
I've watched Naptown play a few times...they are some pretty rad women. Balance is overrated; you should totally see if they have a rec league. The world must see D. Tension skate! We all know teachers have a lot of aggression....

Hi, I am one of your newest followers and I have nominated you for an award. You can check it out at Fun and Learning in First.
I'm totally going to join this blog hop because I am jittery about a lot of things. We also do Open House the night before school (actually 2 nights before school now, yikes!) and now that I am used to it I love it. One of the things I do is hand out all of the paperwork that has to be signed so I can hand it straight to parents and not bother my little ones with it. Also we get transportation all straightened out before school even begins. It takes a lot of stress off the first morning!
One other thing my school started doing last year was meeting with parents for a conference before school starts. I have to do this all on my own time, but it is super valuable. I already know so much about my families! It's been an awesome experience!
Jittery still? Yes! But I guess we're all in this together! ~Heather
Let me know how it goes with implementing the Daily 5! I just got the book for my Kindle and am looking into it!
