I’m so happy to be collaborating with such a talented group of teachers from sunny Southern California. I love my little hometown in the winter time. Tourist season is over so the beaches are empty and I can walk to the beach trail without battling strollers and overenthusiastic runners! I’ve reflected on the year I’ve […]
Last minute ART and Christmas gift ideas
Do you need some last minute art and Christmas gift ideas? I get it; it’s a hectic time of the year and you’ve run out of ideas. There is so much excitement happening in our classroom this week. Between our Elf Jingle, making reindeer food, and some holiday movies during rainy day lunch, we are […]
How do you level your classroom library?
Are you ready to level your classroom library? Over the years, I’ve organized my library by genres, then by Accelerated Reading (AR) level, then AR level within genres and then nothing at all! I love an organized library because it made it easy for my students to find the books they wanted to read. […]
Not your Typical Thankful post…
I remember reading an article in our local newspaper back in college about Thanksgiving that I really connected to. It wasn’t about listing all that you were thankful, it was turning things that aren’t always so great, and turning them into positives. I did this last year so I’m going to keep this tradition going.

Do you use Photo Props in your class?
I’m a fan of makeshift photo booths for any occasion! I like to think that a a costume or photo props liven any party! Everyone rolls their eyes when they see the props but once they’re in front of the camera, they have a blast…trust me! Using the Photo Booth app on your Mac is […]
What do you do with those School Teacher Photos you get every year?
I was so excited to get a free packet of school photos during my 1st year of teaching. Like I did when I was 10, I sent them to all of my relatives. But then, the 2nd year came around. Did my family really need another photo of my in a dorky teacher pose? Probably […]
Have some time away from anything teaching-related… it’s OK!
My students are on my mind almost all of the time. I can’t go to Target with out scouring the Dollar Bin for potential things I can use in my classroom. When I’m at the Dollar Store, I grab things I probably don’t need, but know I could work it into my classroom somehow. My […]
