Stress-Free Valentine’s Day Fun Stations

After posting about my Stress-free Halloween Fun Stations, I had a bunch of requests for similar posts for other holidays . . . including Valentine's Day.  I know a bunch of teacher friends dislike these days and planning a 'party' is beyond stressful with everything else we do, … [Read more...]

Stress-Free Halloween Fun Stations!

I love Halloween, but I honestly feel like sometimes it can be a little over the top and too much for my kindergarten kids.  I want them to have a fun day, but I don't want it to be overwhelming for them or for me.  Stree-free is key!  So I made a promise to myself a long time … [Read more...]

Building Blocks Are More Than Just Fun!

Using building blocks (or Legos) to create images and designs is a SUPER popular activity in my kindergarten classroom and an easy one to set up and maintain.  My students love the challenge, and I love the fact that it promotes fine motor skills.  But the benefits go far beyond … [Read more...]

Spring has finally sprung in Northern Michigan and to welcome it and bring some color to my hallway, I had my students create these bright, fun and shapely bugs. While it was super simple, it also was a great way to reinforce shapes, practice scissor skills and discuss … [Read more...]

Astrobrights Brings Color To Your New Year Snow Friends!

January in Michigan can be downright drab and dreary.  It's cold it's snowy and really really white!  There's only one way to combat the lack of color, and that's by utilizing every Astorbrights® advantage that I can muster.  A gang of brightly clothed snow friends seemed to be … [Read more...]

MONSTERously Fun Bulletin Board

I have a bit of a problem when it comes to creating a Welcome bulletin board each fall for my kinder friends.  I don't really have a traditional bulletin board.  I have this series of long windows that face into the hall outside my room.  That's my bulletin board.  And . . . it's … [Read more...]

Here in Mrs. McGuire's class, we have St. Patrick's Day, leprechauns and all things green on our minds.  That's why this month's morning work will have a bit of an Irish flavor to them.  Luckily, my kinders indulge me and love all the mystery and intrigue that comes along with … [Read more...]

January Sensory Fun!

How many are too many sensory bins to have going at one time? Hmmm  . . . that's really good question.  But since I have never met a sensory table or bin I didn't like,  I am probably not the best person to ask.  I can tell you, however, that I have four going right now in my own … [Read more...]

New Years Reflections

So it's January 1st and time to take stock of the last year.  While others like to make resolutions, I think I would just like to count my blessings and take a cue from my teaching partner Kerri and instead of a resolution, pick a word . . . a word that will be my 'go to' word … [Read more...]
