Classroom Management Linky Party

Mrs. Randall from Miss Kindergarten is hosting a classroom management linky party & I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE LINKY PARTIES! The first thing I would like to blog about is Yes these look like pom poms to you, right? NO! These are magical WARM FUZZIES...I MEAN MAGICAL...well to my classroom management they are magical! I have been using these magical little puffs of heaven for years now & I wouldn't have it any other way! I can give warm fuzzies & I can also take them away. And let me tell you when I take one away...I have seen tears...oh yeah I have seen tears over these little puff balls! Each of my students has one of these I had to find a pic online since I didn't take one at school. I have used old film containers & baggies in the past but I saw the light when I passed by these & thought PERFECTO! The kids are told they are not allowed to take the lid off until Friday which is trading day. Did you notice there are BIG and LITTLE warm fuzzies? … [Read more...] about Classroom Management Linky Party

$1 Monthly Memories

In celebration of almost 200 followers I am practically giving away this monthly memory book I created at my new TPT store.  Last year when I tried out these adorable monthly pages I would pull them out at the end of each month. As a class we would brainstorm what happened in our lives & in our classroom that month. In August, my firsties are usually just drawing HUGE pictures and they might put a word or two JUST AS BIG AS THE PIC..lol. In June, the page is usually covered in full sentences with an itty bitty picture. I'm crying while I am putting these together. To see the progression in their writing and drawing is AH-MAZING! This is a wonderful keepsake that you can use in any elementary grade. ENDLESS possibilities are had with this product. All I ask you to do is follow me on TPT & leave me some awesome feedback. I am looking forward to more followers, more freebies, & more deals. LINK DIRECTLY TO MY MONTHLY MEMORIES HERE. … [Read more...] about $1 Monthly Memories
