Popping Down the Days: Smooth Sailing to Summer (Management Freebie!)


I don't know about you but I can't wait!  4 school days left with my kiddos!  :)

Speaking of my kinders, I've found a brilliant idea to keep the chaos that is May under control:


Ta-da!  Count down balloons!  Who doesn't love this fun and awesome end of the year activity?  Especially when your teacher lets you use a sharp pointy object!  :)


Each day this week I've been picking a leader to pop a balloon and reveal our sweet surprise inside.  So far we've had a Picnic Lunch, Bubblegum, a Treasure Chest Treat and some yummy Bookworm Buddies!  They have all worked really hard each day in hopes of being the special one.  It's worked wonders with their behavior! 

You can pick up your fun end of the year freebie by clicking on the picture below!


I hope these activities help you sail smoothly to summer!  Happy Friday my friends!

Holiday Customs & Belated Friday Freebies

Saturday is here and Christmas Break has begun!  Well, in my case it's a 4 day weekend, but I'll take it.  I confess I am very jealous of my peers right now that get a two week break.  But I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a good break, and I can't wait to see the exciting stuff you create!  :) What a busy week it has been!  Between practicing for the Holiday Song Program, doing the Holiday Song Program, recovering from the Holiday Song Program, I'm not sure how we accomplished anything at all!  But accomplish we did, and largely thanks to you, my wonderful fellow blogger teachers!  I am so thankful for the great resources you make and share, they were a lifesaver this week for sure!  Here's a look at our week of Holiday Customs Around the World: Art Snowflake Craft Stick Ornaments (Parent Gift) These turned out so great!  I poured some craft (tacky) glue a bowl and they used Q-tips to place glue onto their gemstones.  Then, they put

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to test out another
