Hooray, Hooray, It's the 100th Day!

Well, I live in the South where school starts early - August early!  So, our children celebrated the 100th Day of school on January 20.  This was the first year I have really had to get one of my own children involved with the 100th Day!  We had tons of fun prepping for it - she had to dress up as a 100 year old lady, makes poster with 100 objects and they had a big 100th Day party!  

Last year, I decided to create two fun sets of 100th Day activities and worksheets.  Both sets are for sell on Teachers Pay Teachers.  Also, I have an Etsy site and on there I sell the 100th Day t-shirt iron on transfers as well as the 100th Day treat bag toppers!

If your school is preparing to celebrate the 100th Day, go check out all my items!  I will post links and I also want to share my sweet girl as a 100 year old lady!

Her 100 Day poster - I have a girly girl who loves her bows so what better way to show the 100th Day than a girl with 50 bows on each pigtail!  She painted the poster and put the eyes on with adhesive foam pieces.She then glued the yarn on for hair.  I created the yarn pigtails and hot glued them for her.  She tied each ribbon in a knot for me and I made the bows out of that.

Muffins for Moms

As I sit here and plan out this year's Muffins for Mom theme, it hit me I never shared last years with everyone!  I have done several cute and different themes each year.  I always try to do something outside the box. I begin planning for the next year as soon as this year is over.   Last year I chose a Princess theme.  Sounds normal, right?!  Well, it is but I always try to do some fun and interesting centerpieces, crafts and gifts for the moms.

We always make super cute placemats for our moms.  I always try to do some type of handprint on their placemats so they can keep them forever!  Since our theme was "Princess", we did a castle handprint.  We added glitter clouds and used green chevron wash tape as the grass.  



For one of the gifts, I had each mom and child send in a recipe that they like to make together along with pictures of them making it.  We created a class cookbook.



Another gift we gave our moms was scented salt scrubs.



Another gift we made was a decorative plate with Princess handprints.


For the table decorations, I made feather boa topiaries with princess crowns on the top and painted the pots with princess crowns.





I used some clip art I had for the place cards.



Here is a close up of one mom's seat:



Each year, each student makes a portrait of their mom and answers several questions all about her.



Then, they also made a vase of celery print flowers



And as always, one last picture of me and my sweet daughter.  This was her last year at preschool and our last Muffins for Moms together.  She started Kindergarten this year.

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!!!
