January Preschool Lesson Plans – Everything Included in a Month of Preschool Set
I told you last week that I was going to tackle videos this year, and here I am, already crushing that resolution! I just posted a nice long (maybe too long…) video of all of the materials that are included in my January Month of Preschool set – you definitely want to check this out if you’ve ever wished that someone would just do all of your lesson planning and prep for you! There are so many resources included in the Month of Preschool sets that video is really the ideal way to share the amazing value of these resources. Take a look to see both the digital download that…

New Year Refresh
The new year is the perfect time to renew and refresh. Sometimes that means incorporating new systems and products. Here are the things that are on my list to pick up at the moment – as always, these are affiliate links and I will receive a portion of the proceeds, but I truly do love or have my eye on these products at the moment. My opinions are all my own! What have you been loving lately?

What is a Year? Units of Time for Preschool
It’s not a new year if I don’t take a minute to share this incredible resource! Celebrating the New Year is so confusing for preschoolers, because they don’t understand what a year actually is, or why we need a new one. I created this units of time set to help work through this and give children visuals to support otherwise abstract concepts of time. My What is a Year set includes vocabulary cards, a ring book, and dice game. All of these resources support each other and incorporate the repetition of vocabulary and images that children really learn from. These activities give preschoolers something tangible that they can interact with…

One Little Word 2024
I’m back! It can be so hard to get back into a routine after the holidays, but this year I’m really feeling it – thank goodness. I’m starting 2024 with my one little word, I know it might not be “trendy anymore (I see you over there with the ins and outs trend), but it’s a tradition here. My word for 2024 is GROWTH. I’m trying to use this as a new perspective, a way of looking at both opportunities and necessary tasks as moments to grow. There are a lot of things that I’ve pushed off over the past year because they “just aren’t me” – but I know…

Teacher Christmas Must-Haves
We officially have one more week until Christmas! If your calendar looks anything like mine, then it’s probably packed with all of the festive events – and if you still need some last minute outfits or accessories for all of these, then I’ve got you covered. All of these picks are from Amazon, so they can save the day really quickly (and the links are affiliates, but I truly do love all of these products). Christmas-shaped stud earrings – I’m not a fan of wearing dangly earrings in the classroom, there’s far too much opportunity for them to get caught or grabbed by a little hand. Large, dangly earrings seem…

Printable Christmas Thank You Cards
Here’s a super helpful resource for this time of year! Printable thank you cards have saved me more times than I can count. While I love stationary, and admittedly have a much larger stash than is necessary, I never seem to have enough thank you cards. These can be printed as needed, making it really easy to get those thank you’s out for any student or co-worker gifts before everyone leaves school for the holidays. You can grab your set HERE!

When Christmas Brings Chaos
What is it about this time of year?! No matter how clearly I plan everything out, it all still seems to turn into a jumbled, stressful mess. I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I know exactly what my problem is, I’m constantly adding more projects and activities to my well-laid plains, and that’s when things get overwhelming, BUT I’m really trying to live by this quote that I shared last year: Now, I can’t say I’ve ever HATED the holidays, I love everything about them! I definitely understand the sentiment though. My goal this year is to lean into the things that bring me…
