  • Friday Freebie – Bug Observations

    Happy Friday! This is my one and only day off for Spring Break, in fact my only day off until Memorial day, so I am cherishing it! I have big plans for my day off, I’m road-tripping to the outlet mall to do some spring shopping, but before I head out I have a really cute freebie to share with you. When it comes to spring, there is one thing that preschoolers love – playing outside.  With every group of children I’ve ever worked with, they’ve always been drawn to bugs.  They love to find them, watch them, catch them, try to pick them up, you name it.  This Bug…

  • Friday Freebie – Peep Pops

    Happy Friday! I know that some of you are starting your spring breaks this week, I get next Friday off, so for me I’ve got one more short week and I’m ready to celebrate spring! These free tags, from Creating and Teaching,  are for super easy “Peep Pops” all you have to do is put a Peep on a lollipop stick, wrap it in plastic wrap, and add the tag.  This is a cute treat that I promise anyone can handle, and it will still look creative and DIY.  Share these with your students or the kids at your family’s Easter gathering!

  • Friday Freebie – 5 Little Pancakes

    Yay for Friday! For this week’s freebie I wanted an activity that you could do with all of the Daytime Slumber Party ideas that I shared yesterday.  I was having a really hard time finding any kind of PJ party freebie, so I made one myself.  5 Little Pancakes is a cute little magnet story that you can do with your students, and once they learn it, they can do it all by themselves.  This activity is a fun way to practice counting and number recognition, along with rhyming and intonation. Download this cute freebie here, and then check out my other blog freebies! Have a great weekend, and enjoy…

  • Friday Freebie – Phone Number and Address Practice

    Happy Friday! This week it has really felt like spring, and it is crazy how much different everyone’s attitudes have been.  The spring weather has me thinking about all of the things that are coming up this spring, and one of those big events is that my Pre-K kiddos will graduate, and start getting ready for Kindergarten.  One of the topics that I strive to make sure my students know before heading to Kindergarten is their phone number and address.  For me, these two things help children feel just a little more confident about making such a big change.  When they get on a bus, they can be sure that…

  • Friday Freebie: St. Patrick’s Day

    Happy Friday! have you ever had one of those weeks where it feels like it takes way longer than it should to get anything accomplished? This week has been like that for me, I just feel like I’m moving really really slowly.  Maybe that means it’s time for me to take some time to re-energize, which is exactly what the weekend is for! This freebie might be the cutest St. Patrick’s Day activity I’ve seen, which makes sense because this St. Patrick’s Day Feelings set is from Jenna Rayburn. The set includes cards with shamrocks making emotion-related faces, along with prompts that ask children to talk about a time when…

  • Friday Freebie – Environmental Print

    Happy Friday! I’m so glad that February is almost over, bring on spring! Unfortunately, just because the calendar says March, that doesn’t mean it’ll be warm here. It’s supposed to be 36 degrees this weekend, and that sounds warm to me right now! This week I’ve spent a lot of time sharing ideas for letter recognition and alphabet activities, so today’s freebie, fits right in.  I’ve used this Environmental Print Alphabet set in my classroom for a couple of years, and the students love it. They recognize the brand names, and are easily able to figure out the letter that each brand name starts with.  Go download this freebie from…

  • Friday Freebie – Classroom Labels

    Happy Friday! When I looked at the calendar at the beginning of the week, I was in shock. The middle of February already?! I’m itching for spring, and it’s coming quickly (thank goodness).  If you’re anything like me, you’re ready to freshen things up a bit, so I’ve got the perfect freebie for you. I recently revamped my classroom label freebie. It was one of the first sets that I ever added to my Teachers Pay Teachers Store, and it needed an upgrade.  I’m planning on re-labeling my whole classroom (there’s just something about new labels that gets me excited, and I know I’m not the only one!), so go…

  • Friday Freebie – President’s Day

    Happy Friday! Today is one of my favorite days, I know a lot of teachers don’t like party days, but I love them and Valentine’s Day is my favorite of the entire year. I think it’s because the celebration with my kiddos has always taken the pressure off my husband 🙂 I get all my mushy love from the little ones and all I expect from him is a card.  I also have some serious girl time planned for this weekend, an Ikea trip with my best friends from high school, which is definitely a reason to look forward to the weekend! Then, Monday is President’s day.  We always have…

  • Friday Freebie – Valentine’s Day Writing Paper

     Happy Friday! This was a surprise short week for me with my snow day on Monday, so it flew by! Since Valentine’s Day is next weekend I’m saying that this is the official start of Valentine’s week (yes, Valentine’s week) who doesn’t love taking time to share their love with people who are important?! I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve for my favorite people, and since I’ll see them at different times throughout the week, I’ve made it Valentine’s week 🙂 Today’s freebie is one of the first things that I created for my Teacher’s Pay Teachers store, it’s a great little freebie that you can use a few…

  • Friday Freebie – Winter Snap Cubes

    Happy Friday! I love a short week like this one, especially when a nasty bug is going around, I’m in need of a couple of weekend days when I can sleep in! I was so excited to find this freebie, there are certainly more than a few winter blues floating around my classroom (myself included!) so I’m always looking for ways to make winter just a little more fun.  These winter snap cube patterns look like just what we need. These are from Klever Kiddos, and I have the Easter set (which my students absolutely loved last year) so the winter set will be the perfect addition to my math…
