About the store
I am in my 12th year of teaching. First graders are definitely the best age of kiddos to teach! I can't explain the amount of love I have for teaching them to read and watch their growth throughout the entire year. It is astonishing! I have been making powerpoints and many activities and graphic organizers for my own classroom and other teachers for awhile now. Now I just need to make the time to post them on here! (That's more than half the battle!)

This is a product that has 4 different styles of surveys. I made this for my son's kindergarten teacher. I asked him questions about his teacher, and then filled in the blanks on the paper. I made a female version and a male version for each style. **Please make sure to print the correct one. Some will say HE and the other version will have SHE.**

I will be using this in my Kindergarten classroom and cannot WAIT to see some of the hilarious and precious answers that they give. :) If you are looking for more questionnaires lik

I took this idea from another blog and made my own sheet. The other sheet that I uploaded from google docs did not have big enough spaces for a 5-6 year old to write in. I recreated the spaces to write the numbers and draw the dots of the dominos. All you need for this math workstation is : Domino Addition or Domino Subtraction recording sheet, a pretty colored pencil and dominos. :0)

This product is used to supplement the EL Education program for 1st grade. In my classroom I print these in color and laminate them. At the top right corner you will see something similar to this: G1.M1.U3.L4. This is essentially the breadcrumbs for Grade 1, Module 1, Unit 3, Lesson 4. This is the exact lesson where you will introduce the word. I group my cards by modules and units so that I have them ready when I need them! There are 2 word cards on each page.

This bundle includes all the activities you need for word work for Skills Block rotations for First Grade. This is my second year implementing EL Education Skills Block. My first year was pre-covid. I used many shared items: magnet letters, scrabble tiles, markers, Wikki Stix, Playdoh and letter cubes. Since coming back in pandemic-mode, I have changed the way I implement Skills Block, tremendously. After 3 months of racking my brain on HOW TO MAKE IT WORK, I have come up with this Skills Block

I did not like that EL Education does not have a product where you can clearly see the clipart pictures. It is impossible to find. I also did not like have the letters shown on top of the images. My first graders need to clearly see where their letters should be written, it is hard enough to keep them from reversing the formations. After countless hours of searching for an alphabet that fit my needs and also included the strange EL vocabulary for its images, I ended up creating my own. I hope t

After attending many sessions about our new Common Core State Standards and several of those being about the new Mathematical Practices, I decided there has got to be an easier way to word those practices. I catch myself using the kid-friendly version more so than the actual practices themselves. I know that these are very important, more so with the upper grades right now, but I know it's only a matter of time before our little ones are expected to use them and know what they are. These pos

Visualizing strengthens reading comprehension skills as students gain a more thorough understanding of the text they are reading by consciously using the words to create mental images. Students who visualize as they read not only have a richer reading experience but can recall what they have read for longer periods of time. This is an activity I use with my first graders. I read them the story The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. While reading, I have the students close their eyes and visualize,
