Teachers Pay Teachers and Helping Others

Teachers Pay Teachers is a program that allows teachers to post, download, and sell their lesson plans to other teachers...that was the headline today on the morning news in our neck of the woods!  A fellow colleague and myself were representing Teachers Pay Teachers and all of its greatness!  Stephanie McMahon and I were privileged to get to share what all the TpT buzz is about!  How to use it, become a member, follow your favorite sellers, and much, much more!!!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins...

The teacher in me is trying really hard to be a good blogger, but man I am struggling!!!  This year has gotten off to a slow start...we are working hard on getting those small groups up and running and building independent workers, but it seems to be a bigger struggle than ever this year.  Sooooo...this pack was built to tie the common core standards into my work stations and to help keep those youngsters engaged for longer periods of time. 

You can stop by my TPT Store to download The Perfect Pumpkin Pack for some Pumpkin Good Times in your room!

Where Has Summer Gone?

Well I feel like I have neglected my blog.......because I have!  I am so sorry friends!  I am finally back and back to work!  Today I have been working on some crafty ideas that I have had for my classroom!  It was a lot of fun, but one blister (from the glue gun) and a cut on the finger (from scissors) later I am reminded why I am a teacher not a crafter!  Take a look at my cute new projects!

Happy Summer School

It's hard to believe that we are off to Summer School!!!   Today was my first day with those Pre-K babes and man they WORE me right out!!!  I promise as summer continues I will be a better blogger and get started on some great back to school packs!!! Keep watching my blog and teachers pay teachers store for more!!!!

Calling All Movers...

So I got a wild hair this weekend and decided that I "needed" to rearrange my classroom and of course it couldn't wait, so I stayed late last night and got it all moved around, finished some minor cleaning and a tad bit of redecorating.  I am so excited...but as you all now the true test was how well it worked with my first graders.  They adapted really well to the change and all the "new spaces" around the room went really well during work stations!  As I finish up the short week I am going to be working on a Mother's Day Mini Unit.  I will get it uploaded as soon as I finish!  Hope everyone has had a Happy Tuesday!!! 

Here's What I'm Working On...

Hippity-Hoppity Bunnies!  Today I have been working on my Free Easter Mini Unit!  I am uploading the Easter Pack to my Teachers Pay Teacher Store!  You can check it out there!!!  For the rest of the afternoon I am going to fit in some time for some bike riding with my six year old Kaden and maybe a little work on some spring printables...until then have a blessed day!

Welcome!

Well here goes!  I have never been a blogger, but I have been reading so many teacher blogs and learning so much that I figured why not share what I do?  I love my first graders and I am working hard to keep student learning fun and engaging!  I will work hard to update you on the hard work of my students and all the fun activities we do together, SO STAY TUNED!!!
