  • This year has been especially trying for teachers, so now more than ever it's important to do things that will save you time, energy, and help you keep your sanity as a busy teacher! Some of the ideas I'm sharing include implementing classroom management strategies that will ultimately save you work, meal planning, exercising, and more! Self care is NOT optional for teachers!
  • Seesaw is one of my favorite FREE digital platforms! Learn more about how I use this simple, user-friendly digital platform to teach my virtual elementary students. I will walk you through a quick and easy Seesaw set up, along with sharing some helpful tips, tricks, and ideas on how to best use Seesaw this school year!
  • Are you looking for a fun, interactive way for your students to practice sight words? Try this FREE, no-prep digital resource! I have created this set of Boom cards perfect for any preschool, kindergarten, or first grade classroom! Your students will be reading, building, and finding sight words in this fun, digital activity!
  • Teaching kindness in your elementary classroom is such a vital part to building a strong classroom community! That's why I'm sharing my FREE resource for teaching this important character trait to your students. One of my favorite ways to use this classroom resource is during my morning meetings, but it can be used a variety of ways!
  • Learn why and how teachers can use Google Forms in their classroom with these easy to use tips! It's a great assessment tool, as well as quick and easy to use!

This engaging resource is PERFECT for any preschool and kindergarten classroom to practice blending or segmentation skills.
  • Help your kindergarten and first-grade students self-edit their writing pieces of all genres with this primary writing checklist! This is one of my favorite activities to help with improving our writing block and creating independent writers one check at a time. This is a great resource for independent writing time, writing centers, or writing workshops to help your students work on capitalization, finger spaces, sight words, punctuation, and if their overall writing makes sense.
  • If you are looking for how to teach your kids to think beyond the text, this blog post is for you. Use your interactive read aloud lessons to get your readers thinking about their reading. This leads to better reading comprehension for kindergarten and first grade kids. Check out these tips for teaching reading!
