  • Save your extra wrapping paper!

    December 28, 2016 /

    Preschool teachers are well known for saving everything, so it should come as no surprise that I’m telling you to save your left over wrapping paper.  There are so many things that you can use it for in the classroom, here are a few ideas: Create artwork on top of the wrapping paper design. Most wrapping paper is shiny, so it would be interesting to see how paint, crayons, and glue react to this surface. It would also be interesting to see if the children cover the design, or if they incorporate it into their art.  Cut wrapping paper into smaller pieces and use it for collages. I always had…

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I know I’m taking some much needed time to relax (and do lots of shopping)!  The end of the year is the perfect time to think about what went well this year, and goals that we have going forward.  If you’re thinking about the rest of the year in your classroom and what it might look like I want to share some inspiration that might be helpful. Here are the top five posts from Preschool Ponderings this year: 1. Make your lesson plans work for you – This post has quickly become one of my most popular of all time because it includes…

    December 22, 2016 /

    I know, you’re used to Friday Freebies, but since this weekend will be so crazy, I didn’t want this to get lost in the holiday shuffle! Since it’s the first time I’ve ever done a Thursday Freebie, I’m going all out and sharing two freebies.  This first one is a Christmas Cookie counting set, which would be great math practice as you wind down your Christmas celebration. The second freebie is a Snowman themed mini-book.  This freebie is perfect for that transition from the holidays into the rest of your winter work. Download both freebies and have a wonderful holiday weekend!

  • Tips for banishing pre-holiday behavior problems

    December 20, 2016 /

    If you’re spending this week with young children – your students, or your own children – then I’m sure you’ve taken a deep breath and prepared yourself for chaos and tantrums.  While some off the behavior problems you might encounter come with the season, others are a product of messed up routines, missed nap times, and too many sweet treats.  Those are the kind of problems that can be avoided with some careful preparation. Here are a few tips that I’ve picked up along the way: Try to keep your routine as normal as possible.  If you can’t schedule fun events into your normal routine, then prepare the children in…

  • Last minute gift idea

    December 19, 2016 /

    If you’re still looking for something easy to make for your students or co-workers, check out the idea I have for you: I whipped up some of these snowman marshmallows over the weekend because I had some extra frosting left over from baking sugar cookies.  These are so easy to make that you could even have your students make some of them for their families. All you need is marshmallows, black frosting, and orange frosting.  I used piping bags to get the small details, but you could always pick up some tubes of the pre-mixed colored frosting for even less mess and hassle. Add a packet of hot chocolate to…

    Happy Friday! We’ve almost made it to the holidays, and let me tell you, I am ready for a break!
