Off to Kindergarten (update)
My big kids are all starting kindergarten this week. These are kiddos that have been in my class since they were 2 years old, so this is a bittersweet week for all of us. I wanted to do something special for them as they started a new chapter, and I shared some of my ideas a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to take some time to share the final product! This is the cute kit that I put together for each family to use on the first day of kindergarten. Each kit has a small pack of tissues (for Mom and Dad’s tears), chocolate hugs for a little…

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…

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…

Alphabet book keepsakes
I’ve started thinking about our annual preschool graduation, and I have a couple of different ideas up my sleeve, but one thing that I always like to incorporate is a keepsake that shows how much the children have learned. This year my kiddos are going to create alphabet books with their own illustrations for each letter. We started working on them last week, doing a couple of letters whenever we get a chance. So far they are absolutely adorable. They are really putting a lot of effort into their books, and some of the illustrations that they have come up with are hilarious. When they get stuck I pull out…
