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!

Kid's Door Decor

If you want to skip the reading and go right to the door decor pack click here! So I did something wild yesterday. I let my kids decorate the door... A few years ago I said I wanted to put up a new door every month. The kids love when the door is decorated to something new. I lasted maybe 2 months LOL. I try to decorate it at the beginning, but it is such a pain. It always falls down, I can't get it straight, etc etc etc. Well last week one of my co-worker's decorated her door. It was a spring door with flowers and my kids of course were in awe. "Let's decorate our door!" So yesterday morning during my morning coffee I randomly thought to make a packet of things they could decorate the door with. It is homeschool at school in our classroom so I thought, I'll give them the stuff and some examples and they can decorate it together. I told them in the morning about it so they were pumped when it was time. I printed out all the stuff ahead of time and cut it into ...

End of the Year Gifts/Prep

I was so sad to see the end of the year come. I feel like I needed more time with them! I did my normal bag of stuff: memory book, year of crafts, award, and a key chain! These are the bags I use. You can get them on Amazon, but make sure you get the size that is at least 9x12. I've made the mistake of getting the smaller ones before lol. This is the memory book I use. I've changed it over the years, but I just simplified it down. You can edit it in Canva, google slides, or PP! You could also use this, but it's more for one student. I used it as a moving away book, but if you started this early, you could make a book for each student. I did the key chains again.  I do not suggest doing a whole class picture because it's so small. The selfie works so much better! Click here for the tag and click here for the key chain photo frames . Every year I hold onto the crafts. I usually just stack them and then we spend some time at the end of the year passing them out. This year...
