This year blog-wise has been a complete and utter failure. With that comes good reason. This year has been by far one of the most challenging and difficult years that I have ever experienced. I started off planning to blog at least once a week because I went into this year totally prepared thinking that this would be the best year yet. Though I went in with this, reality quickly set in and told me "yeah right, Ashley." This year I have literally been hit, kicked, bitten, anything you can think of. My teaching was constantly interrupted because things were thrown at me. If it wasn't that, then it was a chair being thrown across the room. I got no … [Read more...] about My worst year teaching.

Kinder Flashcards & my first signs of stress!!!
Happy Monday y’all! I hope everyone had a great weekend – I did! I actually created a set of flashcards that I hope you can utilize. Every year I have had to find flash cards to send home for parents to work on with their children at home. Since I have been trying to make a lot of resources, I decided to make a flash card set of my own.

FIRST FREEBIE!
It's here... I finally have a freebie for ya! I spent a long while creating an entire school year's worth of behavior charts and decided I wanted to sell them. I don't know how y'all do your behavior management at school but here is a run down of mine: I had purchased a really cute behavior chart at Really Good Stuff (my FAVORITE site): You can purchase this item here. I love it. The kids love seeing their names up there! When I give warnings and they still don't listen, I make them move their name to the next color. Having them move it really affirms their behavior and makes them rethink what they did. Last year I used a behavior form that I … [Read more...] about FIRST FREEBIE!
Welcome!!
Hello! I am Ashley and I am pretty excited about this next little venture! I have attempted a blog before over at Ashley's Little Nook and needless to say, it was a failed attempt. It kind of ended up being a mess of home/school/life/venting posts that were more for me than connecting with people. That is not what I wanted. For about a year now, I have really wanted to start a blog JUST focused on teaching. I want to connect with teachers everywhere and make some new friends too! With that said, I am about to start my third year of teaching kindergarten in Texas and I am so excited! Each year gets more exciting simply because I feel more confident … [Read more...] about Welcome!!
