Engaging & Educating

I’m back! ☀️

I’ve always loved sharing content on this platform, but after having two kids, my priorities shifted as I focused on family life and finding a balance between work, motherhood, and time for myself.

As a little welcome-back gift, I wanted to share one of the Summer banners I made, completely free! This is a digital download that you can easily send to Walgreens for printing. With their coupon code, I was able to print mine for only $12, and it made our first day of summer feel even more special and fun.

I hope you love it as much as we did! Check out my story for the link!

The CUTEST little Santa hand! 🎅🏼
This was a super simple and cute craft to do with your kids!
2 cups flour
1 cup of salt
3/4 cup of warm water
Bake at 220 for 2.5 hours

After they cooled I painted them and used a sharpie to draw his eyes, nose, and mouth.

STICKER STORE!😊
My students LOVED our sticker store! Kids would turn in tickets to shop at the sticker store. These would also make for a fun back to school gift or be used for a get to know you activity. Comment the word STICKER for a link to these stickers I found on Amazon.

BACK TO SCHOOL STICKERS!💛
I made these stickers to give to my new students at meet the teacher. I wanted to build a classroom family and a sense of belonging as soon as I met them. My thought was if my students are riding the bus or walking to school they may see another student wearing the same sticker and it would start to ease worry or stress on the first day of school. When they walked through the doors admin and other helpers would know where to send them without any confusion. It was fun seeing my students walk in on the first day of school wearing these stickers. 😊

The stickers were super easy to make with the xyron sticker maker. This thing is amazing! It helped make these stickers as well as the labels for my classroom library. Comment STICKER for a link!

BACK TO SCHOOL GIFTS! 💙
We are back again with the back to school bookmarks! At meet the teacher I will gave the students a bookmark with a QR code at the bottom. When they scan the QR code, they will get to hear a little introduction about myself and the story First Day Jitters. I love doing this so that I can calm any first day nerves they may have about the first day of school!

It’s that time of year again! ⛈️ In first grade, we did A Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs classroom transformation to get our students excited about our weather unit. It was SO fun! Most of these inflatable were found by a parent in my class at five below and they can also be found on Amazon! This was one of my favorite weeks in the classroom!

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away!! These valentines themed subtraction cards helped my students practice their subtraction skills during centers and small group instruction. 💕Comment the word link and a link to this product will be sent to you.

GRINCH DAY!🎄💚
This day was always one of my favorites, because of all the fun that we had together! My students participated in a grinch themed breakout activity, our elf joined in the fun, and our class had great discussions on friendship and kindness. Leave a 💚 in the comments if you want me to send you the Grinch Breakout activity for FREE (this activity is directed towards first grade).

Life Update!✨

My class ratio is going down to 1-1. Next year I will be focusing on raising a tiny human. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity and will miss the classroom greatly.

I’m so used to sharing my teacher life with everyone, and would hate to lose that. Going to be sharing my life as a new mom because let’s be honest the struggle is real. 😂
