I am now on Teachers Pay Teachers!!!

I am finally starting a store on TpT after a long winter of research on the types of activities I wanted to create for preschool teachers!  I am not too far along but you have to start somewhere.  I am posting my first game for cheap!!!  I want to create things that are instant learning centers.  My goal is to have things that you can laminate and use right away!  I hope you enjoy my first one!  I have many students who love the counting clip games that my friend over at Creating and Teaching makes but I have so many students that they are too hard for still.  I wanted the same type of game but easier so that my youngest students could practice with clothes pins and counting too, even if they could not recognize the number.  I switched around that idea so that they could participate too.  I hope you can use it in your classroom too!

Holiday word wall alphabet freebie!

Click here to download.

Hi everyone!  I have been getting my room all ready for the holidays and the month of December.  We have made a new word wall.  Grab this fun candy cane alphabet for your classroom too.  We are planning on adding all of our students pictures and names first and then add holiday words and words that begin with our weekly letters.  We are also adding little note pads around the room to allow and encourage more writing.  We have done this in years past and kids love going to the word wall and writing down words that are posted.  It is a great way to help young ones understand that when letters are next to each other they form words!  Hope you get a chance to use these letters in your room!  Enjoy!

New Pete Books! Who Knew!?

I do not think my students are ever going to tire of Pete The Cat!  I was searching for a preschool easel idea and I came upon these two new titles.  I cannot wait to tell my whole class.  We have two little girls who got new coats with of course, GROOVY BUTTONS!  They are so cute running around the playground singing about their buttons.  I just thought I would link the books here so you can pre-order if you are a Pete nut like me!  And do not forget the book Pete the Cat Saves Christmas is already out!  My own children already love it.  The new ones come out in late February.
