It is the task that we all dread….removing name tags from desks at the end of the school year. A friend has been hassling me suggesting I try using shaving cream, which I finally did. And guess what? It worked! It actually worked better than Goo Gone…and it’s less expensive! I let the shaving cream sit on what was left of the name tag, and
How To Organize Your Fonts! Freebie, too!
This is it. I have finally found a quick and easy way to keep up with all my fonts! Since the days when I moved away from comic sans as my “go to” font, I have accumulated a lot of awesome, sometimes decorative fonts that I {heart}. My problem has been that when I am creating a pack or working on a document, I don’t
Letter Naming Fluency Idea
At least in Alabama, with Kindergarten comes Dibels…which in turn means we must assess letter naming. It can become tedious and boring at times. Here is a little tip I shared at the beginning of the year over on TBA in case you missed it: I like to let kids tear out word searches from coloring books and use them to practice “reading” (or identifying)
Thrift Store Gold
I finally got a chance to go to some thrift stores, something I rarely get to do with two toddlers. I was looking for a chair, but instead I found a great little table, which I was incorrectly calling a telephone table…it is actually a step table (but I think either works =) I got it for only $4.99!! I forgot to take ‘before’ pictures…but
A Day at School with THE SINK
So as I was saying yesterday, I covered THE WALL (see post here) and had an entire roll of shelf liner left. I couldn’t just let it sit there all lonely, could I? As I looked around the room, I remembered the area I painted before school got out- it isn’t finished, but I painted a section of the wall black and added the white.
A Day at School with THE WALL
I spent yesterday at school….working. I arrived with shelf liner in hand, but soon realized I needed to move all my furniture back where it goes, otherwise there is no way I would be able to concentrate on the task at hand. Once the classroom was sort of put back together, I started with THE WALL. See, I have this wall that divides up my
Best thing I have ever done! ~Helpful Hint~
Well, one of the best things I have ever done maybe… Last year I got so frustrated when I tried to find a book I was looking for -and couldn’t remember where it was. So I decided to fix that problem once and for all. Here’s what I did: Little by little, I would take a group of books from a location in my
Some Pointers & Currently
I know how hard it is to get started blogging…and so many things seem like a mystery. I struggled in the beginning and had to do a lot of investigating to solve some of the mysteries. And then factor in TPT and TN…creating documents…WOW- that was a learning experience. Well, I was thinking the other day how it might help some of
New table? Not Quite…
Do you ever just need a change? Well, I do. My room is sort of small, well…at the very least it is jam-packed with furniture so I am limited as to what I can move around and where. With that said, I got the urge to change my guided reading table. It is bright yellow…and had had some abuse/paint/stains. I was at TJ Maxx the
Quickie!
It is coming down to the wire for holiday crafts and I was sort of at a loss of what I could share tonight, seeing how I am knee deep in about three units I am trying to get ready to share with you guys…SO, then I remembered the craft I did last year… that I am planning on doing later this week.
