Criss Cross Poster Freebie

Good Morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I went to register for all sorts of baby goodies with my Mom and we had a cook-out with friends last night.

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 […]

It’s All in The Family {Giveaway & New Unit}
