Letter M

We have been working on letter Mm this week. Focusing on writing, recognition and beginning sound. Today we read "Moosetache" and made hats. We also had a little fun with mustaches! We cut out pictures that started with the letter Mm and glued them to our hats. The kids loved it. 

Sensory Bins

I had planned on doing sensory bins last year during centers but it didn't happen. Since I have had a TON more time to plan this year, I decided to finish it. 

VIOLA!!!! 

This wasn't NEARLY as easy as Pinterest made it look! (It rarely is that easy)    

BUT... It's done! I will be starting with nursery rhyme sorting cards. Something I picked up from one of my FAVORITE bloggers. Greg Smedley of The Kindergarten Smorgesboard. 

I will change this out for number match... Ten frames etc. I'll post the link to his product as well!

Basket Labels

I am getting ready for Meet the Teacher! Here are some cute basket labels for the big stuff that doesn't fit in your gallon bags.

They look great clipped onto a plain laundry basket (courtesy of dollar tree.) 

Clip is covered in Washi Tape from target. 

I have also made an ink friendly version! 

Get them both here. 

Alphabet Sorting

A cute alphabet sorting activity that I found on Pinterest. The sorting tubs that you get at the teacher stores will run close to 200$. This was about 40-50$ I ordered the tub from homedepot.com and the erasers on Amazon. I found this little DIY  here

So I cannot take credit for this but it turned out so cute! Her labels are free!

Classroom Makeover

Do you ever just feel overwhelmed? Well I do and that's probably because I have put so much on my plate (thank u Pinterest). They are turning out great though! So here are the ones that are competed. 

I will post the link to this tutorial soon!

And here is my desk.... 

I am redoing my cubby as well with txt scraps of contact paper I have left.

That should be posted later today!

Teacher's Ultimate Supply Labels {Freebie}

I made a huuuuge packet of labels. 84 to be exact and you can find it on TpT. Free for a while. I'm not sure how long though. You can get them in colored chevron on black and white.

Click HERE for the colored chevron. Please leave feedback!

Or click HERE to get it in Black/white.

Organizing my classroom

I have thoroughly become obsessed with Pinterest lately. We have a love/hate relationship. I feel like I've put so many projects on my plate before school I don't know how I'm going to finish them all... but I think I can get it done.

Here is one of my projects... 

Before... You can see where I have already put some of the black foam board in the back of the shelf. 

After

I used scotch poster tape and ribbon to outline the shelves. I got those cute white labels on Pinterest for free… If I find the link to them I'll post it to make sure the creator gets credit. The black labels are from Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits and can be found HERE.

(white labels found here on this blog)

The baskets are from dollar tree!!!

Project #2 is the infamous #teachertoolbox

These labels were also free and when I find the link I'll post it!

HERE IT IS!!! It is FREEEE!

I used purple spray paint on the toolkit and it worked fine.

Up next... Redoing filing cabinets and  alphabet sorting box.
