Need a Title

I decided to do a jungle/safari theme next year. Yesterday I made a new poster board with my new jobs. Most of the pictures are from abcteach.com so they don't have animals or anything safari on them. However, I did want to at least have a catchy title. Here is where I need your help! I can't think of a catchy title.

The only things I've come up with are:

*Hunting for Helpers
*Mrs. Ibarra's Safari Guides

You talented ladies have any other ideas?

No More I'm Done

Just found a link to this book.

You can read it for free here. Just finished Chapter 1 and has my attention! Can't wait to finish the book. Anyone read it or reading it?

Who's Idea?

So I just finished making these and I LOVE them. Totally not MY idea. I couldn't find the original post on this. But I want to say thanks to who ever posted these. Any one know???

First Day Read Aloud

So every year, I read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. The activity I do has changed, but I've been reading the same book for the past 8-9 years.

This is the activity I did this past school year.

I am looking for something NEW to read. What do you read to your kids? What kinds of activities do you do as a follow up?

Daily Schedule

So I decided to join Growing Kinders daily schedule linky party.

Here is what schedule has looked like the past two year. It is very basic and it's what I give to parents during Parent Orientation. I usually hand them a packet of things that I hope will be useful in helping their child through out the year.

Don't forget to head over and link your schedule!

Here's what I have found:
