About the store
I taught Kindergarten for 14 years, but my teaching journey actually began in 2003 in a 6th grade classroom teaching English and Reading. God knew what he was doing when he encouraged me to make the huge jump to kindergarten, and I loved spending my days in the exciting world of 5 year olds! I am thrilled to say I am now a reading and math intervention teacher, and I have enjoyed helping many teachers grow in their own education journey with these classroom resources. I am very excited that I get this opportunity to share the incredible resources that make my Kindergarten classroom so successful. It is a joy to my heart and such an encouragement when I hear that I have helped other kiddos out there too!

Quiet Signal, STOP Poster Classroom Management

How do you get the attention of 20+ little 5 year olds who are busy at work?? Our Principal uses a raised hand for the building wide quiet signal. The entire building knows that when they see a teacher or administrator raise his/her hand, they need to raise their hand as well and get quite. This can be a little difficult for 5 year olds with their attention going in every which direction. So, I decided not only to give them the visual clue (my hand raised), but an auditory and kinesthetic cl

One of my favorite last day of school activities is our Everyone is Famous, Autograph Books. We talk about the future and what some of them might be when they grow up. Life Touch comes every fall to take our individual pictures, and they always give the teachers a little set of "sticker" pictures of the kids for classroom use. I use those pictures for our autograph books. I put a picture of each child and myself in the book, and then I make a copy for each student. I pass out our colored
