This past school year our district adopted the Wonders Reading series for grades K-5.  That means we had to scrap our First Grade Words of the Week phonics program.  I was not a happy camper.  To make the transition a bit smoother, Janine Every and I created the Wonderful Words of the Week packet that you are reading about now.  We utilize the activities from this packet for morning job and center work.  You could also use these pages for early finishers, word work, and for homework.  We took the spelling words and high frequency words from the Wonders series to ..read more

Want something fun and safe to do with your kiddos this summer or with your students when you get back to school?   Why not try some no mess glitter slime!?  I tried it out this summer with my friends' children.  It was an absolute hit. This recipe contains no Borax and is kid safe.  You will need Elmer's Glitter Glue, contact lens solution, and baking soda.

My favorite teaching uniform is on sale!  I jokingly call it a uniform because it gets me through the fall, winter, and spring and I have it in multiple color combos.  It is comfy and hides everything I want hidden.  Let's get real here, your behind and front should not be seen while wearing leggings unless you are at the gym and this legging/tunic combo hides it all.  Leggings are my favorite pants but I wear them responsibly.   As a petite girl, I don't want to spend the money to have everything hemmed.  Leggings, even ones that are too long on me, can be eas ..read more

I found this adorable bunny in glasses pop art project through Pinterest. When you follow the pin to the website, you will see it is in French.   I was still able to find the bunny template by clicking the pink writing that says "tete lapin a imprimer."  You will need to go to the actual website to download the image.   Click my screen shot below.  To make the eyeglasses, I just googled eyeglass outlines and printed them on bright colored paper.    I completed my display with the writing prompt freebie below!   Here is a close up image: I hope you en ..read more
