Jan Brett Activities

I love this time of year because that means it’s time to whip out the Jan Brett books. I love reading her books and really digging in to the author study this time of year. She has some great draw along videos that the kids always love doing. I am also kind of obsessed with […]

Peek at My Week {Thanksgiving}

Boohoo…I was hoping not to have a peek at my week this week but more like a “Hey, peek at my baby!” kind of week. This is where I’m at right now. How is it being almost 40 weeks pregnant teaching Kindergarten? It’s an adventure 🙂 So maybe this week while we are talking about […]

Peek at My Week…Apples!

What a fun weekend I had this weekend being showered yet AGAIN! Oh my word. I am surprised I didn’t have to rent a U-haul to get everything back to our house. This baby is going to be decked out for the first year of her life. Goodness. It was such a special day and […]

Last week, I shared with you how I have been making my life with calendar so much easier. I am putting the entire year in one folder and the kiddos are using expo markers and little erasers to follow along as we go. Here is a picture that I shared from last week. I set […]
