    Mother’s Day Craft

    (Disclosure: Some of links below are affiliate links, which means that at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.) As I write this, I know it’s not May, but I want to help you strike something off your list that will creep up on you in a couple of months: Do you find yourself frantically pulling out your hair when you realize that it is Mother’s Day and your students haven’t grown a plant, written on a shrinky dink or made a bracelet/magnet/picture frame for their moms? Before you reach for the yarn and the every trusty box of…

    Celebrating Black History Month: Part 1

    January 25, 2019 /

    The Countdown is on!

I don’t know if it is the amount of snow, or the prolonged cooler weather, but it seems like I opened my eyes one day and we were in May. In kindergarten I LOVED this time of year. It truly is a time when you can step back and see how the students have grown and pat yourself on the back – that is YOUR added value! But there is also a downside to May. . . drumroll. . . TESTING. Argh. Kinders in my district are tested in DIBELS and TRCs and also…
