Well starting off fresh next school year, what will be different in your classes? New equipment, different activities, different class procedures, etc??

As for me, as far as new equipment, hoping to get my new mats for the wall, were told they were delivered! We only had a few good ones, but now all along the walls! Will implement our new SPARK curriculum! Going a one or 2 new class procedures as well!!

7 days left of school!!  One of which is Filed Day and the last day is only an hour or so and something is happening everday!! During the summer I miss the kids!! I really enjoy teaching!! A few weeks is good for me. 2.5 months, honeslty a little long!! I know when it's time to go back, I'll wish for more time!!

 Field Day I'm dreading! In the endI enjoy it, but the lead up and when its occuring I am stressing trying to make it great for the kids, make sure things go smoothly, hoping all the volunteers will show!!

On average, how much of your own money do you spend for your classes? Is it yours or do you give it to the school?

Not sure what you may call it but at the end of every school year we have Field Day, a day in which students get to celebrate the school year coming to an end.  We set up stations outside and have classes go station to station doing various fun games!! Who else does this and what games do you do? I would like to try some new and different games this year!

Well, after this year, I prolly won't do any for awhile since my district got a nice grant!

But what fun raisers have you done and enjoyed or would not suggest?

One that worked well was Y-Ties! Curly shoe laces that don't have to be tied! Great for elementary schools! I also did a walk-a-thon during ACES which occurs during 1st Wednesday of May! One that I looked at but never did was selling balls via Sportime! You sell them for $10-11,for everyball you sell you send back $7! No risk no obligation, nice balls!

Anyone else?
