Great autumn activities for centers
Autumn is a great season to explore in the classroom because there are so many natural materials the you can bring into your environment. This also means that it is really important to have other materials in your centers that are related to those natural materials. Here are some of my favorite autumn centers; Autumn vocabulary cards– These are great for reinforcing the new vocabulary words that students are learning. This set includes the words acorn, apple, leaf, corn, leaves, pumpkin, tree, orchard, squirrel, and turkey and are wonderful for a writing center. Acorn matching set – This set includes letter matching, number matching, and color matching, making it easy for…

Making Circle Time Easier (and Developmentally Appropriate!)
I am all about setting up systems to make everyday classroom activities easier – especially when it means that I won’t have to spend as much time planning! I wanted to share my circle time system with you. It is designed to make sure that circle time is enjoyable for everyone, which means that I am able to get through the content I want to get through, the children are able to move around a little, and the whole thing is over in ten minutes or less so we can dig into our centers. The first set of printables are for calendar. I don’t spend a ton of time focused…

Do you use TPT?
Have you heard of Teachers Pay Teachers? Do you use it? I cannot believe the number of amazing resources I’ve downloaded from TPT over the years – the freebies are awesome, and every product that I’ve bought has been completely worth the money I’ve spent (saving me the time and effort of having to make it myself). There are some incredibly talented teachers out there and we can all benefit from their great resources. It can be a bit overwhelming to sift through all of the products that come up as a result of a search, so I wanted to share a couple of TPT tools you can use to…

A Teachers Pay Teachers Sale
Guess what everyone?! There’s a big sale going on over at TPT! It’s become a tradition for me to share what I’ve picked out to purchase during a TPT sale, so here are a few of the items on my wish list: I’ve never met a preschooler who doesn’t love science experiments, and there are so many out there to choose from. This book of 60 science experiments from Sara Hickman will make planning so much easier! I have been OBSESSED with Erin Bradley Designs since long before I started making my own classroom printables. I use her graphics on all of my classroom newsletters, and I am so excited…

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…

Back to School Boost
I’m not quite sure what it is this year, but I’m not really feeling like it’s time for Back to School quite yet. Yes, the weather is quite a bit cooler, I’ve definitely picked up a few school supplies (who doesn’t love brand new Sharpies?!), and I’m itching for college football season and some high school football games, but there seems to be something missing. Maybe I’ll get my Back to School boost tomorrow, because Teachers Pay Teachers is having a special one day Back to School sale. This is super special because TPT already had their annual Back to School sale, but being smart like they are, they totally…
