So, as the summer is slipping away from us... I am beginning to have those dreams where I'm in class with no rules, procedures, or routines to teach. For some reason I'm in and out of the class and last night I wrote 5 referrals on day 1! Thank the Lord it was just a dream. If you are like me, you are preparing now so those things will not happen. As I was getting ready I came across this list for Kindergarten. This list was provided by Chris Biffle and it originated from Andrea Schindler... Thanks you guys for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
