Alphabet Posters... Brand New Style!

I know one of my most popular posts was about my Alphabet Posters I made for my class.  Now, I made myself large posters to hang up in my classroom while we learn each letter but I created a set of Alphabet Posters/Signs that are regular paper size and they are for sale on Teachers pay Teachers.

I absolutely love them!  I am thinking about printing them and laminating them to use as well in my class this year.  

Just click here to get the Alphabet Posters!

Here is a sample of a few of the letters!




Back to School Fun

Okay, I am one of those moms who always has her kids pose with a 1st Day of School sign each year.  I usually forget to make one until the night before around midnight but it always got done.  This year, I thought ahead and decided to create the signs for all ages to give away as a freebie!

I made Chalkboard inspired 1st Day signs for all ages... Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten and all grades 1st - 12th!  Yes, you have to make your Senior in high school pose with a sign.  I will!  It will always be tradition no matter the age!

I have two ways to grab them... I am usually very computer savvy but I can post my pictures for you but cannot make it so they are easy to print so you can either click and save as a download or go to my Teachers pay Teachers site to grab them all for free!
















New School Year, New Adventures in Blogging

Well, yet again, I have to say... I'm back!  This past year has been very busy and very stressful between my personal craziness and health issues with my father that happened right after I started blogging again last time.  I have so neglected my sweet friends and followers and I promise not to do that this school year!

I have kept myself very busy creating so many new things to teach with myself as well as for others to use.  You may have also noticed I changed the name of the blog.  Although I teach preschool, I create and make school printables for other school ages so I wanted to be able to share that with everyone on here!

So, don't give up on me yet!  I will be posting so many items I have for sell on TpT and some fun freebies as well!  I definitely plan on keeping you all up to date on what I have in store for my sweet kiddos this year!

Thanks!!!

I'm Back!

I know I have not been around much and I am so sorry!  I got so busy with life and creating new and fun products on TpT that blogging got a little forgotten but that can all change now!  

I always enjoy updating y'all on the fun things my class does and we have been doing plenty of things!  

I have changed the look of the blog if you haven't noticed along with the name.  I have been creating learning items and packets for ages other than preschool and I wanted to be able to share it all on my blog, too!  

I am hoping to add some fun things tonight for everyone to enjoy and of course, you can pin them all to share!  I am heading now to decorate for my daughter's 5th birthday party so try back later tonight or in the morning for some new and fun ideas!

Our First Day and a Happy September!

Our first day of school went well... very few tears!  I have a great group of sweet kiddos this year - 9 boys and only 3 girls!  We spent the first few days just getting used to new friends, new teachers and new things to learn.  

Two of my favorite books to read at the start of a new school year are The Kissing Hand and Elmer.  We enjoyed reading the books together and doing a fun craft for each.  

For The Kissing Hand, we read the book, discussed how we felt on our first day of school, had fun with a coloring sheet and did our very own handprints for our parents.  The kids also went home with a special bag of "kisses" from us at the end of the day.

For Elmer, we read the book and the kids had fun making their own patchwork elephants.





We also began learning our September color, number, shape and letters.  I have so much fun teaching these with the fun posters I create!




We also do "First Day Handprints" each year which the parents will receive at Open House next week.  The chalkboard sign was used for each child to have their picture made on the first day!







Back to School

Well, better late than never!  For the most part this year, my room stayed the same.  I did spend a few days creating all new alphabet cards, number cards, shapes, colors, months of the year and days of the week in a giraffe theme.  No one out there makes giraffe class sets so I had fun making my own.  Here are a few pictures of my room...
