end of the year

  • Time flies!

    I just realized that I never posted pictures from our preschool graduation ceremony, how did I forget! I figure it’s better late than never, right?! So here are the photos that I can show you (the ones without any of my kiddos in them). You may have seen some of these on Instagram, so I apologize for any repeats, but the decorations turned out so cute that I had to share! The cute red and blue papers that I used are from Collaboration Cuties, the adorable headbands are from Brooke Beynon (her free pack has one for each grade level!), and the idea for the crepe paper banner is from…

  • Friday Freebies!

    Yay for Friday! This is kind of a big one for me (more about that on Monday), so i’m going to go ahead and celebrate the end of the year with all of you, even though it’s not really the end of my year. This pack was too cute not to share, and I’m amazed that it’s free! This is an End of the Year Label Pack from the Inspired Owl’s Corner. It has treat bag labels for two different kinds of bags, printable bookmarks, Hershey bar labels, and note cards so that you can write each of your students a farewell note.  Really, everything that you need to put…

  • Graduation!

    Our preschool graduation ceremony is tomorrow, and I think we are finally ready (well, except for the decorating part, but that will happen in the morning).  I’m a little worried that this one will be emotional for me, I’ve had most of these kiddos since they were two years old, and I’ve known almost all of them since they were infants.  This group of parents is pretty special to me too, they believed in me and encouraged me throughout the process of opening my own school. I wanted to make sure that the entire graduation was really special, so I created a few products to make things a little easier…

  • Friday Freebies

    Yay for Friday! This is a big yay because it’s a three day weekend! If your students are anything like mine, the weather and promise of summer are making them a little antsy (again, yay for a three day weekend).  Many of my teacher friends get through this chaos by reminding themselves that there are only a couple of weeks left until summer break, they can make it through a couple more weeks.  That doesn’t work for me, I work at a year round child care center, I have my kiddos all summer long. I try to make sure that the summer is packed full of fun stuff and special…

  • Preparing for Preschool Graduation

    It’s that time of the year, we have less than three weeks until our preschool graduation ceremony.  I’ve been trying to get some special projects done, and we’re getting close. One thing that I’m really excited about this year are the memory books that my students have been working on.  Not only are these going to be amazing keepsakes, but they are also helping to prepare them for the kind of work that they will do once they get to kindergarten. Right now my kiddos are answering the questions with drawings and words to the best of their abilities. When they finish I will add portfolio pages that I’ve been…
