I soaked up as much as I could at #tptnashville18! It was so special to make some new #teacherpayteachers friends & I left full of inspiration from Team TPT, the speakers, & other attendees willing to share their experience. I’ve been so busy late at night and EARLY in the morning finishing up some resources and can’t wait to share them with you!
I haven’t had a chance to share that I will be presenting a “Gameschooling Guru” session in Florida & California in a few months. I’ll be sharing more about gameschooling with you soon. Here’s a tip: At the beginning of the year, you have to establish gaming etiquette. I LOVE Critter Closet from #educationalinsights for just this purpose. There are several differentiated ways to play this game which makes it perfect for small groups & preschool through kindergarten students. I ❤️ how their games are always full of high quality, sturdy pieces that will last years & years in the classroom!
Before bed each night I like to set something out that will grab my daughters interest when they wake up - kind of like a trap😉. It gives me a few minutes to have a cup of tea. I’m often recycling something they haven’t played with recently but also like to throw in some little surprises from the #targetdollarspot. These wooden balancing games for $3 are so much fun, the perfect challenge for my 2 year old, & will be a nice fine motor activity for my kindergarteners who need it in August. My girls💜 to test things out before they end up in my classroom!
The Target BTS dollar spot is one of our favorite shopping stops. Here is one of our best #targetfinds this year. 12 sturdy preprinted cards, 3 ink pads, 6 stamps, & 4 markers all for $3 in the #targetdollarspot!
We made this for Dustin years ago. This book makes the perfect Father’s Day, Christmas, or birthday gift for any dad. I used scrapbook paper to cover the illustrations & then a picture to go along with the bold words on the bottom of each page. I ordered mine from Amazon but the book has also been sent out from #imaginationlibrary so you may have one laying around or even a Spanish version. There is one for moms too. Such a simple & sweet gift. I added Aniston’s name on the spine. It is something Dustin will always cherish!
