Now soaring in Kindergarten
I know I keep saying this, but The Sour Grape may be my new favorite book by Jory John and Pete Oswald. We can all be Sour Grapes at times. What is important is There are even times when I feel like a killjoy, I’ll admit that freely! You can find the newest book companion set HERE on TpT. I created an adorable Sour Grape
Are you looking for an easy Halloween activity? How about a take-home project to go along with the Jory John book, The Good, The Bad, and The Spooky! It is such a fun story which provides a lesson: What you are wearing isn’t the most important thing about Halloween! The book also explores how we handle problems affects other people. If you don’t already have
Creepy Crayon Craft is officially now a favorite to make in my room! Aaron Reynolds came to my school last year and shared his latest book, Creepy Crayon. He even signed my copy! I knew I had to finish the trilogy with another creepy craft! This one is a mix of pre-cut parts that kids choose from and a whole lot of fun! Each one
Creepy Pair of Underwear by Aaron Reynolds is a book I sort of put off getting for some reason. Maybe it was the underwear? I got it last year strictly because I love Creepy Carrots so much (Carrot pack is found HERE). The craft for both turned out super cute so I had to share! Be sure to scroll all the way down the page
Frankenstein Craft: We have to decorate for our upcoming fall festival. As a result, we created these cute little Frankensteins. This craft is easy and will bring a pop of color to the usual red, brown, and yellow. Girls and boys can add a bow or a bow tie for extra cuteness.

In this way, I save time, but still allow for individuality. You can find the Creepy Carrots pack HERE on Teachers Pay Teachers. First off, the book by Peter Brown, Creepy Carrots, is an
October Crafts and Activities: I love October, usually, when it gets cooler and I know fall is here. In Alabama right now, it is still like 98 degrees (literally). Regardless of the lack of fall, I still plan on doing some activities in my classroom to at least make it FEEL like it is fall. A girl can dream, can’t she? I love the book
Back to School with Oriental Trading! I was fortunate enough to be given some very special gifts from Oriental Trading for Back to School. I want to share them with you because they are perfect for BTS and the rest of the school year. Meet the Teacher is one of those nights that I LOVE and sort of HATE at the same time…the crowds, the
The Ugly Pumpkin Activities You won’t want to miss my The Ugly Pumpkin Activities. The Ugly Pumpkin is the perfect book for that awkward time between Halloween and Thanksgiving that flies by! It is a sweet story that is a fresh take on the traditional classic, The Ugly Duckling. My students LOVED the book and making the craft made it even that much more fun!
Creepy Carrots Activities Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds is one of my new favorite fall books and for a good reason. It is just creepy enough (if you read it the way I read it) that makes kids LOVE it! My students were silent as I read, you know that kind of silent…like when you know you HAVE them! At the last minute we made
