Great (and easy) Homework Packet

While blog hoppin' awhile back I came across an absolutely simple homework packet created by Erin at Eberhart's Explorers and Katie at Little Warriors. Click here for the October packet on TPT. I am using these with my Pre-K class and I love it. It is simple to set up, I love sending it home on Monday and they have a whole week to complete it. It also includes a cute monthly family project. Thank you ladies for doing all the leg work. I highly recommend checking it out.

Best year so far!

Ok I feel like a horrible blogger. It has been a busy school year so far. I feel like I am treading water sometimes. I have to say though I have the best class that I have ever had. They are quiet, calm, sweet and smart. I was reading a story on the first day of school and I asked them if they knew what the person was callled that wrote the words and a few of them knew the word author, they also knew illustrator and pronounced it correctly too! These are 4 year olds. I also have a few that already know all of there letters and sounds, I have high expectations for this year. I will stop bragging now. Oh wait one more thing, every single one falls asleep during nap time too! Ok now I am done bragging. I really will post pics soon, I promise. Catcha' on the flip side!

Colors, English and Spanish

I created some color charts for my classroom and posted them on TPT. My teacher neighbor requested them in spanish for her Dual Language class so I posted those as well.

I have been busy with getting my room ready. I hope to post everything this weekend so check back for classroom pictures.



Where Are We and Tape Dispenser

Ok, I have been a busy beaver today. I have been in overdrive make it mode and have made some great stuff for my classroom. First of all I made this "Where Are We?" board.

I still have to make the labels for it but I was proud of myself so I am posting it anyway. I also made these adorable (at least I think so) tape dispensers. I have had these things for a long time now and could not figure out what to do with them I didn't want to go bejeweled crazy, just wanted the right amount of bling.

Well what do you think? I think that they are super cute. I have 6 more to do (bought them on sale). Can't wait to give them to our secretaries. Tomorrow I am going up to my classroom to work. Our building is open this week and teachers go back next week. I will be posting some progress pictures over the next few days.



Pirate Job Charts

I posted an item on TPT

Click here to check it out. Leave a comment here if I did ok but Pirates aren't your thing. :-) I would like to know if I am doing this right.

My Teachers Pay Teachers store is officially open!

I have posted my first item on TPT. It's simple but I wanted to try it out. Click here to download them. Let me know what you think. These will accompany my Pirate theme. I am going to make calendar numbers too! The only thing that bothers me is that the months aren't capitalized. Should I change the font?

Reply? HELP!

Ok, now that I have a few followers and I am recieving comments I would like to reply. I have noticed on other blogs after someone leaves a comment there is a reply button. I do not have this, is there a way to change that? Please help, and incase I can't figure it out thank you for trying.
