Welcome to The Very
Busy Kindergarten Blog.
I started this blog in 2011 as a place to share my
teaching ideas.
I started teaching kindergarten in 2009 and
before kindergarten I taught first grade for 7
years. I guess you can say I just love
working with the little ones.
I love to read children’s literature to my
students. I enjoy finding stories that relate to all content areas. I enjoy watching their faces as they make
connections each day to the learning around them.
A lot of the ideas I share on my blog come from the
books, workshops and blogs I read. I collaberate a lot with the other kindergarten teachers and paraprofessionals at my school. I try
to take the great ideas I see and work them into the exit expectations of the Archdioceses
of Milwaukee where I teach.
If you need to contact me please feel free at leave

Hi Sue!
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog for a bit now and I love all your ideas. I taught Kindergarten for 3 years and then 1st grade for 2 before I left to stay home will my little boy. I loved Kindergarten, it was so wonderful to see how far those little ones could go in a year and just the freshness they had for learning. I was looking at your post today, smiling about past memories of decorated doors and I noticed that you mentioned prayer. I am so curious to know what type of school you teach at. The little miracle that I stopped teaching for is now 3 and school is just around the corner for him. I have considered homeschooling but I am also looking at other options. I would to hear more about how your school runs and if it is private or church ran. Thanks so much. My heart skipped a beat to see that prayer was part of your school day.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI saw you are using Don't Squeal unless it's a big deal...I use this book all the time. We read it and then I made a poster of kid sized/ adult sized problems. It has velcro on each column. I then present situation cards for the kids to sort into kind of problem. Lastly, we make pigs that hang up all year. Good luck!
