  • Friday Freebie – Holiday Cookie Party

    Happy Black Friday! That’s right, Thanksgiving is officially over, so bring on the Christmas craziness! I wanted to share one of my favorite freebie from last year with you, so that you can use it to start planning your holiday celebrations.  Last year I hosted a cookie party for my students, I made these signs to go with the activity stations.  Download a set of the signs for yourself, and then take a minute to check out these posts all about the party; Cookie Party InspirationFoam Cookies for Dramatic PlayHoliday Cookie Party Recap

  • Friday Freebie – Thanksgiving Roll and Graph

    Happy Friday! For me, November means Thanksgiving.  I spend the entire month planning and re-planning what I’m going to take to our Thanksgiving celebrations. I search endlessly for new recipes, and inevitably end up making the same old favorites.  Today’s freebie fights right in with my monthly theme of food! This cute roll and graph from Ashley Hughes is all about Thanksgiving dinner.  I can see kiddos loving this game, and learning so much as they begin to recognize the vocabulary and practice recording their data on the graph.  This would be a great activity for large groups or smalls groups, so go download it and add it to those…

  • Friday Freebie – Thanksgiving Graphing

    Happy Friday! Every day is bringing us that much closer to Thanksgiving, and I don’t know about you but this is the time of year that my busy personal life begins to collide with my busy school schedule and everything feels just a bit overwhelming.  So, I’m hoping that these Friday Freebies this month will really help you finish up those lesson plans and take a little off your plate! Today’s freebie is a set of Thanksgiving Surveys that you can use to help your students practice sharing their opinions, writing and recognizing their names, and creating graphs.  These simple graphs can be extended over a number of days.  Enjoy…

  • Friday Freebie – Planner Pages

    Happy Friday! I usually try to make sure that the freebie I share with you on Friday is either related to the other posts I’ve written that week or seasonal.  So I have to apologize because today’s freebie is neither of those things. I know it’s the wrong time of year for a new teacher planner, but I saw these free pages, and they were too cute not to share. Plus, they’re gold, which is apparently my weakness at the moment, although I suppose it’s better that I fell in love with gold planner freebie pages and not a piece of gold jewelry… Download your planner freebie pages from Student…

    Happy Friday! This month is flying by and I’m not sure that I’m happy about it.  The weather is approaching just a little bit chilly and I’m definitely not ready for winter, I want to hold on to fall as long as possible! That said, I’m also very much looking forward to Halloween, and this Candy Corn Alphabet bunting would be the perfect Halloween themed addition to any classroom! Download the free bunting from Mr. & Mrs. Brightside and enjoy with your class for the rest of the month!

  • Friday Freebie: Evidence Checklist

    Happy Friday! It’s that time of year when the weather is perfect and the last thing I want to do on the weekend is stay inside, so my goal is to be super productive today so that I can enjoy my weekend! Yesterday I shared some thoughts on informal assessment, and I mention using those observations as evidence for your formal assessments.  Here is a freebie checklist to help you keep track of all of the evidence you need to collect – it’s pretty basic, but you can white out the fields if you want to personalize it to your own assessments.  Download your copy here and enjoy your weekend…

  • Friday Freebie – Leaf Patterning

    Happy Friday! Somehow it’s already the second week in September, and because of the strange weather we’ve had this summer, our leaves have already started to change.  Nothing like messing with my seasons!
