The Best Easter Egg Hunt EVER!
After about 75 seconds of a whirling, screaming dervish, two kids had bumped heads going for the same egg. Billy had found 107 eggs. Jasmine had found one. Billy did not want to share the eggs he found. Jasmine was crying. Mallory whined that she was tired. Lilly wanted an animal egg that Jared had found. Jared wasn't giving it up.

How to Make Flowers for Your Bulletin Board
I had seen these beautiful flowers on my Instagram feed from Pinterest perfect classrooms and admired them from afar, wondering where they came from. After some research I found that creative teachers were making them and not one to be outdone on a craft I set out to try them out myself. And lo and behold, they are not too difficult. I enjoyed making them far more than I did these paper fan wheels, and I think they would look amazing with the bulletin board lettering you can make from PowerPoint without a Cricut!

I have been working in Mr. B’s classroom for a couple of days helping him to set up his kindergarten room for the new year, and he is not particularly interested in classroom decor so I have had free reign. His only caveats were not to do anything with shiplap, cacti, llamas or any thing too cutesy. He wanted bold and bright, so we went with pirates! (You can check out our favorite pirate books in this post). One thing that I have had to deal with over the…

Are You Getting the Most out of Your Word Wall?
Chances are you have a word wall in your room. And if you are anything like the majority of teachers, you have a word wall because you were told to have a word wall, because you know it is good practice to have a word wall, and well, you have to put up those high frequency words/sight words somewhere. But are you making the most out of your word wall?
