Five For Friday!



Management Tip!
If you are going to do a project in your classroom for example, making play-doh, give each student a colored sticker and assign each step by a color.  This way everyone will have a turn!  



A fun way to make "spaces between words" STICK!




My student teacher made these positive notes home on her Cricut machine.  I might have to get me one of those!  Simple and cute!!! 


Mrs. Apland, a FaBulOuS kindergarten teacher right next door to me, made this class book for her student teacher.  Seriously...the cutest idea ever!  A book of reference letters by Mrs. Apland's Kindergarten 

This was my son's page.  LOVE HIM! 


We made a FREEBIE of this game just for you!
