Weekly Recap


Happy Valentine's Day! I used to feel like I needed something to do on Valentine's day, but now that I'm old and wise (lol) I don't care and I just want to make it fun for my kids. As you can see, I thought making slime would be fun... The kids were so excited and hype, but my desk was a disaster and it didn't go as planned lol. Last year I hired someone to come in and face paint, but obviously with Covid we couldn't do that this year. I mainly did the slime because they have been keeping their bookshelves clean and tidy without being asked and I wanted to let them know I appreciate that. 

On Valentine's day we also watched a Number Jacks movie (their favorite- it also was only like 40 minutes which I like because it isn't extremely long) and really didn't do anything else that was party related because we had a intruder drill which took up a chunk of time and I told them we HAD to do math stations. However, I think the movie and slime was fine with them. :) I had big plans to make a cute jellyfish and play bingo, but ya didn't happen.


Oh! We also shared these. They couldn't bring in valentines this year so I sent home a list of the kid's names and told them they needed to put something nice about each friend or what they like about the friend/memories/etc. They turned out SO CUTE!!!!! When I read them to the kids their smiles were so big. I am trying to go overboard on the positive self talk and kindness this year and I really have seen it paying off. Reap what you sow...right?


On Monday, I got to go to P's preschool visit. P is my oldest neighbor's daughter (I am super close with my neighbors because we grew up together so P is like my niece). It was super fun and my kids were excited because a lot of them went to this same preschool. :)


I love peeking over to see what they are doing at sensory. Sensory is super important to me. I love how they come up with different things like sorting and counting or naming the different color gems with emotions lol. 

  


We also had these out for math stations. I love some good number puzzles. We are headed into teen numbers so I pulled out the teen number tens frames with the puppies. You can find these on my tpt.


This is the mentor text we were doing this week, but we didn't get to finish so we will be doing more with this soon. It is the cutest story ever, especially for picky eaters or kids who won't try anything new. Click here for the book. I want to do a President's day book next week though.

    

We had some matching cuties and we got our little owl art projects back. I loved this one, it was very abstract. :)


Oh and my Addi girl turned 17! Wowza. If you're new here, I teach dance. :)


My Valentines ootd. :)


We sometimes watch these can you spot the difference videos, which my kids LOVE. I honestly love them too LOL. This one popped up and one of my babes said, "awww look a bunch of Mr. Clarks (our gym teacher)." I laughed so hard. Here is the link to the video.

   
I found these in a bin. I used these containers to have them for my one who loved to bring syrup to school, but it would spill over everything so I bought him these to take home lol. They worked perfect for the slime. 


I also put up my covid + getting vaccinated video if you wanted to watch. Have a great week!

Christmas Presents with My Husband

This will be my third Christmas with my husband and two years ago we decided on no Christmas gifts. Instead, we (I lol) decided that we should do an ornament exchange.  A few years back I took out my grandma's ornaments with her and saw all the sweet ornaments family had given her, but my favorite were the ones from my grandpa. She even wrote the date and where he got them from...so sweet.  So anyways, I thought it would be cool to start doing that and then we could look back and one day our kids and grandkids could also look back. Our first year I got Nick an animal crossing ornament that I drove all over Florida to find lol and he got me a locket ornament, which he didn't even know what a locket was and there was a random couple inside haha. Here is the little cutie! I have been wanting to do an ornament of just stuff we were into each year. I finally got to it! Here is 2021... and 2022... I put shows and food we were obsessed with and some pictures! I sell them on my Etsy sh

Reindeer Pictures

My most asked about Christmas gift! Here is the step by step on how to do it. First hang paper somewhere. I use the bulletin board and I only need this amount because they are small lol. I do yellow because when using remove tools sometimes they are wearing green or white because it's christmas themed and then it's a pain. Have the kids stand facing however your back drop photo is. The reindeer is to the left of ours so I have them face that way. I give them options like reach your arm out, look that way, gasp with your hands on your cheeks, etc. Here is the link to the background I purchased on Etsy. Then upload the pictures to your computer and either remove background in PowerPoint or if you have canva pro you can do it there too with the magic eraser tool! I will be using canva this year, but I have used PP for a long time and it's fine. If you need a video tutorial click here or click the picture above and it will take you to my Tik Tok. You can stick it in an ornamen

Fun Gingerbread Books

My favorite books for gingerbread week! Click on the pictures for links. :) I love The Gingerbread Girl. This one is by far my favorite. It's about a fierce and sassy gingerbread girl. I love this one because I dress up as her for our gingerbread day. I just ordered this book ...LOL First, I'm obsessed with twins, so I needed it, but also how cute. I just watched it on YouTube to see if I liked it or not. The fox is the one who makes the cookies lol. This little book is super cute ! The gingerbread cookie travels through the school, which the kids love because they are familiar with all the spots. If you love the 'how to catch' series, you have to get this one for your collection!
