  • Preschool Ponderings

    I have some great things in store!

    I took a minute to re-introduce myself on Monday for those of you who might be new here (or just haven’t seen much about me yet!) and that got me thinking – I should share some of the things that I have planned for this year. I’ve been hard at work on my Monthly Preschool Sets for almost a year now. By the end of November I’ll have all 12 months available for you! I also hope to introduce two versions each of these for the months of October, November, and December. One version will feature holiday-themed activities (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), and the other set will have seasonally appropriate,…

  • A little update

  • Liebster Award for Blogging!

    I am so touched! Alicia (also known as The Elementary Professor) nominated me for a Liebster Award! This blows my mind because I’m shocked that someone is actually reading my little blog.  This is an award that is given to new bloggers by other bloggers, and in order to accept it, I have to answer some questions that Alicia came up with.  This is great really, because I’ve talked a lot about my classroom, but I haven’t really shared much about myself.  Here are the questions:1- What is your favorite subject to teach and why?I love language arts! I’m a huge advocate for the whole language approach, so I incorporate…
