Apple Taste Test {Freebie}

Apples…everywhere. Literately, we read 10 Apples Up On Top earlier today and they cut out apples to stack on top of their pictures. I have been picking  up apple bits and pieces since school ended. The life of a Kindergarten teacher… Even if I am picking up apple remnants all over the room, I love […]

Peek at My Week {Apples and Fall}

Fall Break is so close I can almost taste it. Or that might just be the pumpkin candle and chili that are making me have sensory overload. I really get excited about everything Fall. I buy every pumpkin and apple picture book I can get my hands on. My October book collection is out of […]

Peek at My Week {Community Helpers}

It’s the week of “boom…everything happens in a week”. Picture day, fire truck visit, first observation, vowel surgery…you name it. It’s happening in my room this week. It’s going to controlled chaos at best. Which, I’m fine with…really. Here are my plans. I’m not sure if there was any point to trying to make them […]

Peek at my Week and IG Giveaway

Leaves Leaves

I think I have finally recovered from the weekend… I didn’t take a nap today during lunch so I think that means my body is coming back to life. I am working on a Fall unit right now…which (let’s be honest) probably won’t be done til Christmas. I thought I would share this activity now […]

Confessions of a {somewhat} Thematic Teacher

So…I don’t know how to say this. But I think I might be a thematic teacher. Not completely, but there is a hint of theme. I feel like you all just gasped. I think I did as I typed this. I just felt like I had to get that off my chest. Now I can […]

Valentine Literacy Pack Giveaway and A-Z linky!

I am really excited to start using these stations for the next literacy rotations! I LOVE these graphics that I got from KPM doodles. They are my all time fave! The kids were already looking in the baskets saying “Oh, I love those candies!” I think my girls are excited because of all the pink!  […]
