Me-Boxes

One thing I remember from college that I have always used as a way for my students to learn about each other is Me-Boxes. Each year, I have students put together their Me-Boxes at the beginning of the year and we also use it as their memory boxes at the end of the year. I […]

Peek at My Week…First Week!

Last week, I got to meet all of my sweet little kiddos. I am way girl heavy this year! I have half the amount of boys that I do girls which must be God’s way of getting me ready for what’s to come in my life 🙂 I am already so looking forward to this […]

First Days of Kindergarten

Color Day Activities {Pin it to Win It}

At the beginning of the year, one thing my Kindergarten team likes to do as a group is “color days”. We ask the kids to wear either a shirt or something for the color of the day. We sing songs, learn poems, read books, and do various other activities to help them learn their color […]
