Happy Cyber Monday
It’s become a tradition around here for me to share my TPT wishlist before each sale, today’s the big sale day so here’s what’s on my list. After you’ve seen what I’m buying make sure to head on over to Teachers Pay Teachers and pick up some great stuff for your classroom (don’t forget to add code TPTCYBER) I love everything that Cherry Workshop creates, which makes it incredibly difficult to pick just one item from this store, so I didn’t. My favorite winter/Christmas products from Cherry Workshop are; Patterned Christmas Ornaments: These would be perfect for matching, classifying, patterning, and sorting activities. Christmas Borders and Frames: I can’t tell you…

Friday Freebie – Black Friday DOUBLE Freebie!
Happy Black Friday! Thanksgiving is over and it is officially the Christmas season (in case you didn’t know!). I’m putting up my Christmas decorations today so I thought I’d share two cute Christmas Countdown freebies with you – and no worries, one of them include a “Winter Countdown” if you want to (or need to) be politically correct. This Santa Countdown is awesome because it’s interactive. Each day your students can glue a cotton ball to Santa’s beard until his beard is full and Christmas is here. What a super cute idea from Speech Sprouts! These Countdown Posters couldn’t be easier to use, there are four posters to chose from,…

Favorite Things – Preschool Teacher Edition
It’s almost Thanksgiving, which of course means that it’s time to start thinking about Christmas (didn’t you know that?!). I love gift guides, I use them all of the time to find the perfect gifts for my friends and family members, but my favorite lists are the “Favorite Things” lists (thank you Oprah), because they help inspire my own Christmas list. This year I put together a list of my favorite things for school – these aren’t necessarily the best supplies for the classroom (but I do have a great Preschool Classroom Supply list), but rather, products that make things a little bit easier for me throughout the day. These…

Preschool Activities for Thanksgiving
It’s snowing in Ohio, so it feels a little more like Christmas than Thanksgiving right now, but I’m doing my best to embrace Thanksgiving. I always make sure to spend some time on this particular holiday, it’s easy to forget about what it really means (because sometimes it feels like the sole purpose of Thanksgiving is to usher in the Christmas season). I love to spend time sharing what I’m thankful for, and encouraging my students to do the same, we also talk about ways that we can help others, and let people know how important they are. If you need a few more activities for your holiday celebrations, here…

Friday Freebie – The day after Halloween
Happy Friday and Happy Halloween! Isn’t it wonderful when Halloween falls on a Friday (or even better, on a Saturday)?! It is so nice to know that you won’t have to attempt to manage all of your kiddos on the day after Halloween, when they’ve all been up too late and are coming down of a sugar and adrenaline rush. The freebie that I found for you today is the perfect activity for the day after Halloween. Mandy Neal’s The Day After Halloween worksheet is a lifesaver. It asks all of the questions that your students really want to answer on the day after Halloween. Mandy suggests this as a…

My Halloween Costume
I’m really picky about costumes, I don’t usually dress up for Halloween unless I can think of a costume that includes my regular clothes. I love Halloween, I just have a really hard time making myself look silly on purpose – I know, I really need to loosen up. I have a few (ok, a lot) of criteria when it comes to choosing a costume for school;1. I have to feel comfortable wearing it at school (still slightly professional, appropriate, etc.)2. I want others to know right away what I am, questions just make things awkward3. I hate wearing hats, headbands, or headpieces of any kind4. I am not putting…
