Time for...Clases de Español!

 I am not a certified Spanish Teacher, but I learned it with my Abuelas knocking it into me, if it was thing ever! (I am so grateful they did that!!) I also attended a bilingual school in Miami, FL, where Spanish was taught weekly from preschool, all the way until 8th grade. I continued through High School, as well. I have perfected the art of speaking and writing it, with the amazing help of my hubby and in-laws and familia.

I receive an email from one of my amazing co-workers asked me who could tutor here littles in Spanish. She said they were extremely curious about learning the language. I told her I would be happy to help them out this Summer, and get them a foundation. I have searched high and low in the depths of the interwebs and found a very helpful site: Mudpies and Makeup
She has  a great setup for "calendar" that reminds me of my old classroom. I like the portability of it. My new room is rather small, and so I need to find things that are easy to put up and take down. I am in the process now of putting it together, so pic to follow of what it looks like completed.

I hope you all pass over to Muspies and Makeup and check out what else she may have to offer!

Hasta Pronto!!

7 weeks in and exhausted...

This is now week 7 of the school year (day 36 for those of you who are actually counting), and I feel like a rookie all over again. I know I have been out of the game for a few years, but this Common Core should come easy. It is alot (almost identical) to what I did with PYP, but for some reason I am having a really difficult time making things work. I have scoured the interwebs and Pinterest trying to find ideas that will make my life easier. I know better than to reinvent the wheel. Why is it so hard to make things happen?? I feel like my schedule isn't working, and that everytime I turn around, my desk is a mess. I don't want to work all weekend ( I have a family, you know), but I find myself working crazy hours and staying late. Does anyone out there in the cyberworld have any tips or ideas?? Please Please Please Please share!!! Sincerely, The crazy teacher in Kindergarten
