Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! Whether you’re celebrating today, or recovering after celebrating all weekend, I hope your festivities are the best! I’ll be sharing something MAJOR later this week, so make sure to pop back in after you wake from the candy-coma. I’ve got something up my sleeve that’ll make life so much easier for anyone who teaches preschool – whether it’s at a traditional school, a child care program, or even if you’re homeschooling a preschooler – and I can’t wait to let you in on it!

Great Teacher Outfits
One of my favorite posts that I’ve ever shared is a collection of my favorite clothes to wear to teach in. I published this post in 2014, so I figured it was time for an update. Here are the items that I find myself wearing over and over. This Swing Dress is the single most comfortable thing that I own. It looks great with leggings, and mine is long enough to wear without leggings when the weather gets warmer. I ordered it from Amazon and there are a ton of colors and sleeve lengths available and it’s only $18.99! (Affiliate link) This LC Lauren Conrad top from Kohl’s is both…

Social Emotional Activities for Preschool
Social Emotional skills are a huge part of preschool. Skills like respecting others’ opinions, taking turns, and managing emotions are the foundational skills that children need in order to be successful. These also tend to be the kind of lessons that present themselves in the preschool classroom over and over again, but when asked to put them on a lesson plan, it can be difficult to come up with a planned experience that it actually valuable for your particular group of children. Over the years I’ve created a number of social emotional activities for my students simply because I couldn’t find anything else out there. When I started sharing activities…

Resource Review – The Wonder Weeks
I know that back to school season is in full swing, but I thought I’d do something a little different this year. Instead of sharing tips, tricks, and classroom ideas (because I’ve shared plenty of those already) I thought that I would share some of my favorite resource books. Everyday this week I’ll do a review of a different book that I have read, loved, and use regularly. These will be books that are part of my own personal resource library and have helped me in some way – whether they’ve made planning easier, changed my teaching philosophy fundamentally, or helped me understand my students better. I hope that you will take…
