    Magic Word 🎨! Excited to share this #fridayteacherhack from @wolkiswonderland !This is such a low prep way to bring a TON of fun & magic into the classroom. 🪄I’m planning to differentiate this by having some students write decodable words. Most students will write their names & practice letter formation.I will write the words/letters with a sharpie. Then students will take turns using different markers for 🌈 writing. When we finish, we will paint the letters with 💧 to make it tie dye!LeAnna is the sweetest human you will ever meet. She used this during virtual learning by sending home a 🖌 and I think this is seriously genius!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Let us know if you will try this with your kids! ... See MoreSee Less

    How cute is this bulletin board one of my K teammates has set up to display her objectives?😍She’s using my I Can statements for kindergarten. This is why I love using these:❤️Student-friendly I Can wording at the top❤️The complete standard in a small print at the bottom for teachers to reference as needed❤️Recently updated and editable❤️They come in a colorful version that look cute on a display or when reviewing with students.❤️They also come in B & W so you can print on whatever color best matches your classroom.❤️The B & W side is perfect for students to color when they master a standard or when introducing a standard.❤️These make it so easy to switch them out daily. (I love the way she has them tacked up but featured in a black frame!)❤️Having your standards up reminds you to say the I Can at the beginning, middle, and end of your lesson which is best practice.❤️I’ve even printed these on the back of assessments or worksheets when I’m being observed. This ensures you remember to go over them and the parents love knowing what skill the child is working on.I spent months making these for kindergarten and first grade Common Core ELA and math, NGSS, Social studies, and I’ve even made specific ones for TN and Florida.Have you tried these with your kids? Let me know! I’ll add a link in my stories but let me know if there are specific ones you are needing.#teachertips #kindergarten #kindergartenteacher #firstgradeteacher #iteachk ... See MoreSee Less

    We’ve loved this little prince for 6 months! ❤️ I talked my mom into helping me knit these overalls to match his 🐑. To be honest, I knitted about 6 inches and she did all of the tricky stuff🙃 but they will always be special to me.Tyler has changed our lives for the better. He’s such a surprise to me that I’m still blown away and get emotional about it. The BEST surprise ever.Scroll through to the last pic so you can see how he really felt about wearing that 👑! We tried this over several days because the second I would put his 👑 on, he would fuss!#milestonesformeals #cuddleandkind #teachermom #momlife #sixmonths #sixmonthold ... See MoreSee Less
