And I'm back... again!

Well, I have claimed that this is the Summer I would focus on the blog and the year it would stay updated!  I had such a wonderful school year with my sweet Toucan class and I have been busy working on some new products on Teachers Pay Teachers.

So, please be sure to check back often and visit my TpT store for some fun, new products!

Also, follow me on Facebook for updates, pictures and more!  And if you're a Pinterest junkie like me, follow me on there as well!  I have so many boards for school ideas!

Back to School

We started back to school after Labor Day.  This will be my third year teaching the Terrific Toucan classroom and I realized I never showed this classroom when I switched a few years ago.  I did not have my good camera with me when I took these so sorry for the bad quality!  This was also the day we got to meet our class and the last two pictures are a few fun things we gave each student to welcome them as well as the information we set out on our tables.


Welcome to the Terrific Toucans!

Well... Back and Ready to Post!

Aaaah!  I have been gone way too long!  So sorry for that!  Life definitely took over and got crazy!  I can't wait to update everyone in the upcoming school year on everything me and my class will be doing.  I also have many new products I can share with everyone!

Here's to an awesome 2016 - 2017 school year ahead!

Play Doh Fun

I teach preschoolers so of course we love to have fun with Play Doh.  I try to make all kinds of different Play Doh mats to use during centers.  I made this new set of mats using numbers and ten frames.  Let the students have some fun while learning!

Click on the link and it will lead you to my Teachers pay Teachers store to purchase these!


Back to School is Almost Here!

I'm not sure about your schools but here in Alabama, school starts back in August!  We have exactly four weeks until the first day of school.  I have been updating and getting new items ready for the new school year.  

These were in my Teachers pay Teachers shop last year but have been updated for the new school year.  Click on the titles to take you to the Teachers pay Teachers store.

Terrific Toucans Alphabet Book

Each school year, I choose a different way to showcase the alphabet with the students.  Where I teach, we learn three specific letters a month.  This year, I decided to create an alphabet book.  As we learned each letter, the children created a craft using the letter.  I know you have probably seen many ideas like this on Pinterest or other websites but I wanted to share mine with you as well!  I laminated each set of letters for each child and used a binder ring to hold them all together.  I made a special cover for each child's alphabet book also.

Letter A is for Anthill and Ants
Letter B is for Bird



Letter C is for Cookies
Letter D is for Doughnuts



Letter E is for Eggs
Letter F is for Fire



Letter G is for Grapes
Letter H is for Hearts



Letter I is for Icicles
Letter J is for Jellyfish



Letter K is for Kite
Letter L is for Lamp



Letter M is for Mouse



Letter N is for Night
Letter O is for Owl



Letter P is for Popcorn
Letter Q is for Quilt



Letter R is for Road
Letter S is for Snake



Letter T is for Tree
Letter U is for Underwater



Letter V is for Volcano



Letter W is for Wagon



Letter X if Xylophone
Letter Y is for Yarn



Letter Z is for Zebra
