6 Great Teacher Bags
I have this problem, I love bags (way too much…). Over the years I’ve fallen in love with a number of bags that I’ve used to drag all of my stuff to school. Since it’s Teacher Appreciation week, and my favorite gift would be a new school bag, I thought I’d share my favorites with you. Vera Bradley Tic Tac ToteThis bag was my original teacher tote. It’s huge and can fit all kinds of things, plus it’s structured, so when I set it down on the floor it keeps it’s shape. Vera Bradley recently released a newer version, which has 6 interior pockets and a zip top. 31 Organizing…

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…

Christmas Questionnaire
I love any opportunity to share a little of myself with all of you, so I’m linking up with Fabulous in First, here are my answers to the Christmas Questionnaire; 1. When do you decorate?I always decorate the day after Thanksgiving. My house is pretty tiny, and I only decorate my living room and my kitchen, so it only takes a couple of hours. I love to turn on Christmas music or find a cheesy Christmas movie on Lifetime to listen to while I decorate. When it’s finished everything feels so festive, I love being able to enjoy it for an entire month! 2. Elf or no Elf?No elf for…

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…

Let’s Celebrate
I know it’s Wednesday, and usually Wednesday is “Focus on the Standards” day, but today is special so we’re going to do something a little different. Today we’re celebrating because this is my 200th post!!!! Wow, 200 posts. It’s amazing to me that I’ve actually written about that many different things, but what is even more amazing is that people actually read what I’ve written. So to thank all of you for reading and being so supportive I have some thing for you. Because I am so thankful, I thought I would stick with that theme, and create something that you could also use for Thanksgiving. Click this link to…

Friday Freebie
Happy Friday! It’s even happier because it is a long weekend, thank goodness! I am excited to just ENJOY this weekend. A Friday evening to myself (shopping anyone?!), getting away for an out of town wedding on Saturday, back home for one of my favorite local fairs on Sunday and beautifully nothing to do all day Monday. I hope that your weekend is just as relaxing! I’ve spent a lot of time this week talking about dressing and behaving professionally. I always feel more professional when I am able to be prepared and communicate clearly, so I wanted to share something that I made to help you do both. This…

What I’m Buying
There’s a great big sale going on over at Teachers Pay Teachers and I’ve got some shopping to do! Today I wanted to take a minute to share what I’ll be buying during the Back to School Sale. 1. Interchangeable Clipart from Molly Tillyer. This is clipart, but I honestly think that it would make a great pre-k classroom center. The set includes a ton of different people (all skin tones) and then anything that you could possibly need to create thousand of different individuals – hair in different styles and colors, all kinds of facial expressions, and clothes and accessories like you wouldn’t believe. I think that my students would…
