Another New Teacher's Blog!

We have a dear new teacher in my kindergarten team at my school.  She has made our team turn into a seamless collaboration machine.  To thank her, I designed her new classroom blog.  I hope she enjoys using it, as well as her families and followers love reading it.  Welcome to the team, Raquel!

Camping Again . . . ELA Strategy Posters!

I'm making a set of Camping Themed Decoding, Comprehension and Writing Strategy Posters.  Here is an example of the work so far.  I'm just waiting for a few graphics, and then I'll make them available.  By the way, does anyone know the origin of the beanie baby strategies?

A Third Camping Product . . . A Camp Binder for your kiddos!


I've been working on making a CAMP Binder as well to go with my products.  My sweet friend DeeDee Wills beat me to it, on TPT.  If you click on her name, it will take you to her CAMP Binder.   That's what I get for having pneumonia and a bad back.  I get slow!  Hers is really cool though.  I'll try to make mine a bit different.

Another Camping Item . . . a Firefly Jar Number Line!


Here is an example of my number line coming out soon.  The little firefly buggies represent the amount, the number is written out in digit form and word form.  The grass represents numbers that are even, the snail represents numbers that are counted by 5's and the bow for numbers by 10.

Another product on the way . . . camping alphabet s'mores


Here is another product on the way!  I'm making a complete alphabet chart set of cards (6 1/2 in sq.)  I'm envisioning laminating and putting these cards on paper plates before mounting them to the wall.  I'm hoping to find a picnic print paper or cloth to put as my bulletin board background under the plates.

A Camping Themed Portable ABC Chart

Here is one of my products that I'm working on.  I'm just waiting on a couple of graphics from my graphic designer friend, Kate Hadfield. Click on her name to see her incredible site.  This item will be offered for free on both TPT and TN, when it gets finished.  Stay Tuned!  If you would like an ABC chart for a particular theme, or any type, let me know.  I would be happy to make it for you.
