Adorable Valentine Craft

Happy Valentines Day!

We had a busy week with conferences and a Valentine's party!! One of our classroom mascots is a ladybug called "Dot".  For our Valentine craft one of my room mom's found this adorable ladybug craft that I thought I would share with you all! What did you all do for your Valentine's parties?

Mother's Day Fun!!

Hey there teacher friends!


Wow I can't believe it is almost the end of the year. It is definitely bittersweet! My cute group of Firsties are such a sweet group this year and I am so proud of them.

Yesterday we completed several activities to talk about our mommas! Our favorite part of the day was making our Mother's Day gits!! I found this cute idea over at SugarDoodle. Check this site out for the craft supplies and recipe.

They turned out so cute!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Snowflakes, Snowmen, Elves, and Gifts!!

Wow! It has been awhile! Hope you all are enjoying your Christmas break. The weeks leading up to break were super busy but so much fun!!

It started with snowmen... we made snowflakes with Popsicle sticks and talked about how every snowflake is unique and how we are all unique. The students loved making them!!

They also made cute snowmen and included a writing about snow. Our class Christmas party was also snowman themed. Here is one of the cute snacks they had!! I found it on Pinterest. Gluten free cake pops with milk!

We also had our classroom elf Pepper visit us from the North Pole the month of December. This is always something the students enjoy. They each had the opportunity to make their own elves which turned out so cute!!!

This year I decided to get my students books for Christmas. I found the book "The Littlest Elf" and thought it would be perfect.

The final product :)

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year!!

Hey there,

It has been too long!! I am trying to work/think ahead and plan for the holidays. This year I want to get my students books for Christmas. I know they will love this because they thoroughly enjoy reading. What are some books that you would recommend for 1st Graders? What do you give your students for Christmas?

Guided Reading Binder...

Over the last few weeks I have been reworking most of the documents I created to use in my classroom. One of the items I was thinking about creating was a guided reading binder packet. Before starting I thought I would check TPT. I found a lot of resources but wasn't sure which one would be the best.

Do any of you have a recommendation(s)?



What are some forms you cannot live without during guided reading?


Thanks,
