Happy Saturday friends!I just had to stop in today and tell you about MY NEW BEST FRIEND in the classroom! I mean.... Super excited, kick up your heels, can't wait to get to work kind of friend! I have been presenting for SDE (Staff Development for Educators) for 2-3 years now, but it wasn't until this past week while presenting in Tennessee that I was truly introduced to something ... read more

Pumpkin Number Freebies!
It's Thursday.... it's Fall... yet down here in Texas, you wouldn't know by the 93 degree temps outside! (I'm trying to be really patient to bust out my sweaters and booties for Fall!) We did manage to have a pretty good cold front come through today though.... which may explain the unusual crazy wild behavior lately (and don't forget the full moon we had earlier this week!)We are in ... read more
Mission: INTERVENTION ~ The Alphabet
Hello October. September seemed to fly by. Really fast. Pretty sure I only blogged once during the last month and I really do apologize. Lots of things kept me from blogging... you know... work and teaching, being a mom, staying afloat in the back to school madness, still having to cook dinner every night (really wish I could hire a chef the first month back to school!), watching ... read more
Back to School Assessments
Happy Monday!It's the start of week 4 for me and it's officially time to get down to business!

(with a few procedures and routines on repeat!)I really (like Really Really) am ready to get to know each student on a deeper level ... read more
Fun with Decomposing Numbers!
Day 13 for me here. Yes... 13 days of school already down. I mean seriously, it literally seems like the first day was yesterday. It's already flying by!We all know down in Kinder-World that the entire first (and second, probably third, and even the 4th!) week of school is all about those precious procedures and repeating every single word until our throat hurts. We are wrapping ... read more
Don’t Be a Lunch Monster {freebie}
It's 8:00 at night... and I'm pretty surprised that I'm still awake! It's the end of day 3 of the first week of school, and I must say.... so far so good! I have 18 little kindergarten friends with a HUGE variety of personalities! I forget how little and dependent these sweet babies are at the beginning of the year.... but they are making progress! Slow and steady....I haven't ... read more
Reading/Decoding Strategies {free!}
Sunday afternoon. While the past 8 or so Sundays I really haven't even noticed that it was Sunday, I have a feeling that is all about to change. This is my LAST Sunday to think that way, as I go back to work THIS Thursday {insert little sobs and sad faces}.I have thoroughly enjoyed my summer, even if it did FLY by. While I spent the first half preparing for the I Teach 1st ... read more
Meaningful Morning Work
I've been browsing Social Media and I've seen SO many beautiful classrooms, teachers prepping for the back-to-school craziness, and some even already with their students back in school! It's that time.... Time for the sweet smell of brand new crayons, students showing off their new backpacks and meeting new friends, freshly sharpened pencils, and the big smiles on our new student's faces.We ... read more
