Gift ideas for your students
I love to give my students something for the holidays, but when you’re buying the same thing for 20+ children it can get a little pricey. I’ve rounded up a few ideas for you, I haven’t decided which one I’m going to use yet! Personality trait name plates inside of ornament framesThis idea is a fun adaptation of a gift that Laura Schroyer made for her students. Laura used Wordle, I also like Tagxedo, both sites let you input the words that you want to use and create shapes out of the included words. This is a great way to recognize what is special about each student in your class, and…

Easy Ornament Gifts
I am forever searching for gifts that my students can make for their parents that meet the following critera; they won’t cost me a fortune, and they can be completed in one sitting. This year I came up with a cute idea that is not only quick and easy, but it might actually be something that families will keep for years to come. How cute is this Keepsake ornament?! And, of course, all of the pieces are printable, so I can share them with you! It’s a really simple idea, there are five questions typed onto strips. The questions are meant to capture what is important to each child at…

December Currently
Where did November go?! Seriously the month flew by, I can’t believe that it’s December already, but I’m certainly not complaining, here’s what I’m up to: Listening: I have been binge-watching The Good Wife, why did I not know about this show earlier?! It keeps me company when I’m working and I’ve been staying up late to sneak in episodes. I think that I love it because Alicia’s life makes mine feel a lot less stressful! Loving: I put up my Christmas decorations on Black Friday, it’s my little tradition. I have been loving sitting in the living room and just enjoying the decorations. They are a great visual reminder…

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…

Friday Freebie – Black Friday DOUBLE Freebie!
Happy Black Friday! Thanksgiving is over and it is officially the Christmas season (in case you didn’t know!). I’m putting up my Christmas decorations today so I thought I’d share two cute Christmas Countdown freebies with you – and no worries, one of them include a “Winter Countdown” if you want to (or need to) be politically correct. This Santa Countdown is awesome because it’s interactive. Each day your students can glue a cotton ball to Santa’s beard until his beard is full and Christmas is here. What a super cute idea from Speech Sprouts! These Countdown Posters couldn’t be easier to use, there are four posters to chose from,…
