Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite books to read aloud to my kindergartners when we're discussing Martin ...

Cinnamon Ornaments: An Easy and Sweet Student Gift!

One of the best parts of being a parent is receiving a handmade gift from your child. I love when it's close to the holidays and one of my kids comes home acting sneaky because they have a present for me in their backpack! As a kindergarten teacher, I had a stronger appreciation for making time to do these handmade gifts once I had children of my own. Gathering supplies and finding the time ...

5 Ways to Use Mini-Books in the Primary Classroom

Mini-books in the primary classroom are by far one of my most favorite activities! The students have so much interest in reading each page by themselves, being the illustrator of all the pictures, and have an appreciation of it just simply being theirs. I remember when I was a brand new teacher and used mini books for the first time in my classroom. We had just finished up everything I wanted ...

Digital Resources for Kindergarten

Back when I was a new teacher, I felt a little apprehensive when it came to using technology and digital resources for kindergarten. Something about rolling a laptop cart into a kindergarten classroom makes my stomach start to churn a little. I wanted to integrate technology into my half-day in exciting and purposeful ways. However, just the amount of time it took my kiddos to log in, get used to ... Read More about Digital Resources for Kindergarten

Kindergarten Morning Activities FAQ

I’ve had a wonderful week chatting with kindergarten teachers who are getting ready to use my new Kindergarten Morning Activities in their classrooms this year. Not being able to allow our students to share manipulatives and supplies presents a challenge in all grade levels, and that challenge is felt deeply in our kindergarten community.
