If your class decor is Sea Life or under the sea, then I have a treat for you. I have created special Sea Life Behavior cards in the colors green (for good students), yellow (student has done one minor thing and misses 5 minutes of recess) and red (Student continues to do something wrong, misses all of recess). Just place close pins with student names on the side of each chart to help you see what kind of day each of your students is having. Great addition to any classroom!

As a first grade teacher I am thrilled to bring you this new product. The county where I teach has been using the same textbooks for 7 years, so I had to find a way to implement the common core standards into old material. These newsletters were sent home weekly to inform parents of the skills we would be focusing on for each story. They are cute and easy to understand. Infact, I have had many teachers tell me that they look forward to receiving the newsletter because it outlines what each pa

Sight words are a very important reading skill that all young children should learn. Sight words will help a child become a great reader. While teaching my Kinders this past school year, I noticed that many of my students were simply not studying their sight words at home. I decided that I needed to find something simple, yet fun and interactive, to help them remember their sight words. I remembered when I was young I used to love to paint by number or color by number, so I decided to put

I placed these in my students' folders at the beginning of each week and used them to communicate with parents or vice versa. Parents really enjoyed them because if they had to write a note they didn't have to search for an extra sheet of paper, it was already right there in their child's folder. At then end of each week I kept these in my student files and turned them in to my principal at the conclusion of the school ye

My goal as a Kindergarten teacher is for all of my students to be excellent readers by the time they leave my classroom. Our reading series helps the students with reading skills such as main idea, and sequence of a story, however it doesn't focus enough on simply reading a book. It only provided one book per week for each student to read. This may help them learn to read, however it will not make them a great reader. Therefore, I decided to write a set of books for my students. Each set only fo
