Christmas Bundle (90+ pages)I’ve created a Christmas bundle with lots of printables! This bundle contains 90+ pages of games, coloring pages, flip books, classroom decorations, and flashcards that were created for children in Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st grade. They are all winter/Christmas related. The files are also available separately at my store, but it’s worth buying the bundle for this great price – only 6$ (instead of 16.5$ as the resources would cost if you bought them separately)!

The Cutting Song {Scissors Grip} We all know how important scissors skills are for kids - they get to build their hand muscles (which will also help them brush their teeth, write, color, comb their hair...do anything that requires fine motor skills) and improve their hand-eye coordination.

Noise Meter - Forest Animals This noise meter can be used for classroom management - your pupils will learn to use the appropriate noise level associated with each activity. You just need to print it out, laminate it, then use a clothespin to attach the arrow. The three levels are: bunny (whisper), squirrel (the friends who are near you can hear you) and bear (everybody can hear you). I hope it will prove efficient with your class! ***************************************************************

Teaching style

I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.

My own education history

I have been a kindergarten teacher for fifteen years and I have worked as an English and class teacher too. I have a bachelor in English and Finnish Philology, a master in British Cultural Studies, and a bachelor in Preschool and Primary School Pedagogy.

Additional biographical information

From time to time, I will also post resources for toddlers and babies, because I create them for my daughter. If they're a hit, then I will post them here. :)
