Letter Q quilt

Nothing goes better with letter Qq than a quilt. {Who doesn’t love getting cozy in a warm and snuggly hand-made quilt?} I’m sure we’ll have a couple dozen quilts show up for letter Qq sharing day. To help the kiddos remember letter Qq we are making paper quilts using white construction paper, cut up scrapbook paper and yarn.

After gluing the quilt together we will help the students add a capital and lower case letter to their quilt. Once all of their “mini” paper quilts are complete we’ll sew them together using paper punch holes and yarn and then display the GIANT quilt in the classroom.

Valentine’s Day Flower Suckers

I wanted something adorable that my 7 year old was capable of making for Valentine’s Day this year. I thought, what better than a Valentine that looks like a beautiful flower? Any girl would love to hand those out. We came up with these…

Supplies:

Penny & Nickel Sort

Playing with money is super fun! Give each kiddo a handful of pennies and nickels and ask them to sort using the sorting sheet provided. They’ll think it’s a game, you know it’s coin recognition and sorting rolled into one, plus counting to get their final results and you could even compare {which has more? which has less?}!

Letter P Penguin

When learning about letter Pp what better way is there to learn then to make a giant P into a cute penguin? It don’t think there is a cuter way. :-) So here is our giant P penguin. The letter P is made from an entire sheet of 12×18 construction paper. I simply used various colors of construction paper to make all of the rest of the parts and the kids get to glue him together. To add a little flair we made them Rockhopper Penguins and added feathers to the top of his head. Happy penguin making!

BEST PLAY DOUGH RECIPE EVER!!

I am not joking, nor am I being dramatic. After teaching for 10+ years I’ve used my fair share of play dough and there is nothing that beats homemade cooked play dough! I’ve had this recipe for years and make it twice a year. YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! I only make it twice a year meaning it lasts that long! Just keep it in a ziplock and it’ll last for months on end. Above number 1-3 shows my little lovely helping me measure the dry ingredients, then the wet and mixing them together over medium heat. Continue reading

Fridge OVERHAUL

This is my fridge (before and after)….

Before: We had kids work, ABC letters, envelopes of money that the kids were saving, business cards, chore charts etc. It drove me nuts looking so cluttered and messy! We had to keep white board markers and socks for erasing on the counter next to the fridge for our erasable chore charts.

After: Ahhhhh…. Continue reading
