Birthday Chart

I love to make each student gets special attention when the time is right.  There is no other perfect time than on their birthdays.  This cute birthday chart is a cute and easy way to display those birthdays each month.  If you laminate it you can re-use it over and over again.  WIN-WIN!  Here is the link to get the chart:   Birthday Chart!

Getting to know you

One of my goals is to get to know each of the kiddos that I will be working with.  I enjoy learning about each of them and what they enjoy.  I have created a simple template to get my kids to explore who they are and learn how to share information about themselves.  If you would like to use this template go HERE.

Teacher Assistant

I am starting out on a new adventure.  I am working on becoming a teacher.  Utah has a new certification program for those that already have a four year degree.  I have now taken on the role of being a Teacher Assistant to some cute and adorable first graders.  I can use this job to get my practical experience underway.  The school I am working with has two teachers and two classes that switch.  I move between the two of them.  One teacher teaches math and science.  The other teachers English.  Then different teachers come in to teach art, technology and they go to PE.  I love that I get to see the different styles of teaching from the two mentors that I have.  I have been doing some research on how the math teacher can best use some dominoes in his classroom.  We are currently working on number Associative Property of Addition.  I made this worksheet to use with dominoes to reinforce this concept to the kids.  I have it up on Teachers Pay Teachers as a freebie.  You can see it HERE.  Here is what it turned out like.  Happy Days my friends!

Time to get organized

Well it is that time of year again...time for the kids to get back into school and start their various activities.  If I am not on my game something will fall through.  There have been times in the past that I have simply missed a meeting or activity.  Then I feel that horrible.  I have found that keep a constant watch on my calendar that I seem to keep things on track.  I have scoured various types of daily calendars and cannot find one that fit all my basic needs.  I do not need all the fluff just a time breakdown, dinner and to do.  If this is something that you need help yourself to this hourly (for the week) template HERE.

Rockin Valentines

Here is the one of the Valentines my boy picked out this year.  I think they boys will have fun with these little finger skateboards from the dollar store.  The boy printout is another freebie...you can get it yourself HERE.

This is what he choose to give the girls.  I would say they are going to love these.  I used to love these when I was a kid.  To get the girl printable free...click HERE.

Finally, here is one that is either boy or girl.  My youngest just wanted to give his favorite candy.  Simplicity is sometimes the best.  You can get the free printable...HERE.

You are a sweetheart

Here is another cute idea for a Valentine treat.  I love to use the Little Debbie heart brownies and adding this cute little card.  Easy and cute and the kids love the brownie.  The free card is here.

Such a Sweet time of year

When the New Year comes I cannot help but get excited for spring.  My mind for some reason thinks it is just around the corner even though it can be months away.  Funny how we think sometimes...I love the holidays being over.  I love the excitement of a new year to start all over with goals, plans and ideas.  I have committed to upping my dedication to my blog.  As many know I love to make printables.  I love that I can make them and provide them for free.  I think they can be cute and personal.  I have made my first set of Valentine printables for this year.  With a few more ideas in the pipeline.  I like printables that are more general because I feel you can use them for more ideas and/or treats.  I made this "You are such a sweetie" with that in mind.  I hope you enjoy.  Get printable by clicking HERE.

Dear Santa

I have another freebie for y'all.  I have created a simple Dear Santa form letter.  I did not like to waste a lot of ink doing these kinds of projects for my kiddos but I do want them to still be fun for them.  This is what I came up with this year.  If you would like it also click HERE.  Happy Holidays!

Halloween Printable Booklet of Activities

Front pages of Booklet

Back pages of Booklet

Ok, I may be in procrasinator mode lately.  I cannot seem to stay focused on any one thing.  I have been flighty from one thing to another and not finishing...Brain fog or something.  However, I was able to pull together a quick printable for a classroom handout.  You can easily print it at home for your enjoyment (or others).  Great for those who do not want to give candy.  Copy these out in mass amounts and handthem out.  Simply print the front page.  Then place back into print and print on the back.  To mass produce I take to the print shop, its cheaper.  Enjoy and Happy Halloween.

Heartbeat Printable

I have to say that I fall in love with sayings.  I do not know exactly what it is, I think that it is the romantic side of me (there is not a huge piece in me).  Lets just say I hate flowers and candy I can get anytime.  I would rather be doing something active (like hiking or running) or building.  When you want to get to the heart of me you can have me hooked at "power tool"!  I saw this saying hanging on a wall and I it made me want to cry.  I knew i had to make a printable of it when I got home.  This say just tugs at my apron strings.  Reminds me that the role as mother is over in a heartbeat....If you like it but want it in a different color let me know.  I aim to please!
