My Favorite Center Activity and Freebie!
Well, still no blog layout! I have had this post ready for some time now and I was waiting for my new layout so that it could be extra cute hehe.

It’s one that a lot of us do but I mold it to my lessons and make it tricky! It is Write Around the Room or Write the Room.

Getting Ready!

And though it isn’t teaching specific, I am really excited about it! Before last year had even ended I was dead set on buying a … [Read more...] about Getting Ready!

First Year Teacher Survival Kit
My best friend is going to be a teacher! That means I got hard to work making her a First Year Teacher Survival Kit! I am so happy and excited for my best friend She got her first teaching job. Believe me when I say she got it in record time too! Why? Because she is awesome.
