I don't know about you ... but I have an absolute love/hate relationship with my bulletin boards. I absolutely LOOVE thinking of things for the kids to create for our boards... but I DO NOT love the fact that it can take me hours to take them down and put them up. A ...
I absolutely love this time of year in Kindergarten. I know it can seem crazy fitting in holiday performances, making parent gifts, doing fun crafts and of course sticking to your academic curriculum....but I just looooove it! The kids have been in school a couple of months ...
Hey all! Where does the weekend go? It seems impossible to fit it all in! I'm trying really hard to find a balance with everything that is important to me and somehow...it just never seems like I can get that balance right?! I saw some people posting on instagram ...
Every year I dread teaching in the 90 to 100 degree weather that August, September, and October usually bring to Southern California! This year..I thought...I might as well take advantage of the heat and teach my kinders about solar energy! Since NGSS is rolling out in my ...
Every June I seem to end the year completely drained and ready to forget all things related to school! And then about one week into summer break and I'm already thinking of how I can make things better...do more...and basically be the "super hero teacher" I've always wanted to be but never quite get it right. It's funny isn't it? How no matter how hard we work and or how much we sacrifice we always feel ...
I don't know why I'm not used to how quickly August rolls around...you would think after a decade of summers doing this I'd be used to it by now! I don't know about you but I know it's time to get back to work when I start stalking Target and waiting for the sterilite pencil boxes ...

I remember being introduced to her adorable graphics and fonts from my master teacher. Once I saw what you could create with her clipart I was hooked! Those first few years of teaching I bought MANY of her CD's and started creating away. ...
Eeek! I'm super excited to join this linky party to get to know other Kinder Teachers out there! I'm completely new to the blogging world, instagram, and TpT...so please forgive my bare bones blog...and possibly my lack of techy skills when it comes to "linking up" ...
Three years ago, I had just begun looking into blogging and teachers pay teachers when BAM! I found out I was pregnant and my whole world changed. Aside from the terrible morning sickness that lasted almost 5 months, I was completely and utterly burnt out as a teacher. I ...
Ever since I started teaching (11 years ago), I’ve always LOVED sharing ideas with other teachers. Now, I’m excited that I’ll finally be able to do it at a global level! I love that social media, the internet, technology, etc have created opportunities for all of us to learn and grow from one another. More importantly, it’s given us an outlet to express all the joys and heartaches that teaching brings ...
