February: Shouting Out & Showing Off

I just love fun linky parties!  Here's the first order of business today...


Time for some shout out love!  :)  There are so many great bloggers to choose from (both with more and less followers than me) that this was a real toughie.  

Sooooo I'm going to start with Sara at Teaching Munchkins, who has less followers than me.  I just love all her great ideas and the cute pictures she posts of all her fun activities!  I love her ideas on arctic animals... doesn't that sensory table look like a blast?


And I really hope she finishes these adorable teddy bear Valentine's activities soon, I love teddy bears!  :)


My next inspiration is from a blogger who has more followers than me.  This month I want to share about the lovely blogger Faith from Kindergarten Faith.  Faith is such an inspiring blogger and you should go check her out now!  :)  She also comes up with the most creative ideas, such as this post on teaching time with shoes!  Who would have thought?


And I absolutely ADORED her Tacky the Penguin ideas, check that one out here!


And now for what I bought on the Super Bowl Sunday!  


Needless to say, it was probably TOO MUCH.  But oh well, I am super excited and can't wait to share with you some of my fabulous and fun purchases!




Yes, that's right, I FINALLY bought it and I'm so glad I did!  Seriously I got this great license for a steal of a deal on Sunday.  What did you get?  (Not that I need to go spending any more money!!!)

And while you're here, don't forget to enter my friend Nicki's giveaway!  I will be contributing one item of your choice from my Teachers Pay Teachers store and there are other great prizes too, hop on over and check it out by clicking on the picture!  


Hope everyone's having a good week!  I'm off to write sub plans because I have jury duty tomorrow!

      Thanks so much for coming by and following! I promise you I am having them use scissors and glue a lot so hopefully it won't be an issue when they move onto Kindergarten! :)

    Thanks sooooo much Jessica!! I love that we all get to share our wonderful ideas!! It is great because what works with one group of kids may not work the next year's group, and I have learned so many cool and exciting ways to teach the same thing!! :o) Yeah!!

      I know, sub plans take the LONGEST, I'd much rather go in and teach! :) What I really need to do is an amazing sub binder like you!

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to...

Food, Health and Hygiene Fun & TWO Friday Freebies!

My first ever parent teacher conferences are over and I survived! They actually went really well. Although, as many of my parents said, I talk to them so much anyways it wasn't like they were hearing anything new. What can I say? I'm so proud of their kiddos and constantly have to let them know about it! :) Our theme this week was all about Food and Health with a little bit of Hygiene. Overall the week went a lot more smoothly than I expected, being that I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off finalising details for conferences, putting together invitations for Pies with Grandparents next week, and trying to pick a holiday song for our class to sing at the Holiday Program because, as the office keeps kindly reminding us, Christmas is JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Makes me exhausted just remembering! Anyways, here's a look at some of the fun art, writing center, dramatic play, math and science stuff we did this week! Art: Vegetable Soup Stamping ...
