I also love this holiday because it’s magical and whimsical and mischievous, and I fully believe that children need the opportunity to enjoy these special days while they are still little.

My favorite teaching products
I’ve done a number of posts on products that I absolutely love and use everyday in the classroom (like this one, this one, and this one) but I love a lot of stuff, so here’s one that’s specifically geared towards back to school! (All links are affiliates) I’m never without a legal pad – meetings, professional development, planning, I always have one with me. A padfolio like this one is a great way to look professional without taking myself too seriously! Flair pens are my favorite because they make color coding easier and my notes so much more fun to review. I just restocked my collection with a new pack of…

Singer Modern Quilter Quilting and Sewing Machine (Amazon affiliate link) Since sewing is just about the only thing on my mind right now, I figured I’d share a list of all the wonderful things that I’ve sewn for my classroom. The photos below aren’t mine, because I’m notoriously bad about remembering to take classroom photos, so if you want…

What to Wear: Summer styles for preschool teachers
I’ve shared some tips about dressing professionally (and appropriately) for preschool before, so today I want to tackle what to wear when you have to teach all summer long. I’ve always had to work year round, and I know that summer can bring some special challenges. Not only is it hot hot hot, but you want to spend a lot more time outside – which usually means getting dirtier than you might in the classroom. Here are some of my current favorites for wearing to work – I actually own all of these, and I’ve chosen them because they are professional-looking without breaking the budget. They all wash well and…
