We are huge Denver Broncos fans!

We have followed Peyton and our Kentucky hometown hero Jacob Tamme from the Indianapolis Colts to the Denver Broncos a few years ago.

We cannot wait for the game today!

It reminded me that I need to pull out Touchdown Centers from last year to use with my kiddos.

Here is a close look at the centers:

AND here are the printables that I included:

JoAnn's Teacher Craftivity Blog Hop

15 January 2014

I am always looking for an excuse to use fabric on something!

Anyone else?!?!?

I love, love, love Jo-Ann fabric! I am coming from a classroom that had SIX bulletin boards to a classroom that only has ONE bulletin board. I am still trying to find a solution to this predicament.

Hence my project---

I need a board for my spelling words/word work! I saw these ADORABLE scrabble letters at Jo-Ann.

These are not your typical Scrabble letters, these are HUGE, like two or three inches. My kids will go gah-gah over them!

Y'all to make this board I used two tools:

1. Scissors

2. My trusty Hot Glue Gun

My Jo-Ann Materials:

- 1 yard of Fabric

-Bulletin Board

-Ribbon

-Bin of Scrabble Letters

-Chipboard Stickers

- 2 Sheets of Cardstock

*I am sure there are MUCH more professional ways to do this, but I like simple. easy, and effective.

*First I cut and hot-glued my gray fabric to the board.

*I then used my black ribbon to cover up all the rough edges and add a border.

*I would love to tell you that I used a snazzy paper cutter to cut perfect triangles, but really I just eyeballed them.

*I added the chipboard letters and stuck them on the teal triangles.

*Last but not least I glued the triangles on to look like a banner.

I also threw together this cute little recording sheet for when my students use this interactive board/center.

Kinder Busy Teacher Posted and In Action

04 January 2014

I hate to say it, but it is that time....

...time to start thinking about going back to school.

Stacey just finished up the January Busy Teacher and I really do think it is her BEST one yet!

It is jam-packed with fun learning!!

I actually printed quite a bit of it this afternoon so Nash and Emmie could dust off some of those cobwebs and get back in school-mode.

I love, love, love having fun ways for Nash and Emmie to practice their school work at home.

My sweet girl was so proud of herself!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Nash and Emmie's teacher!? I was blown away by what they could do all by themselves (Nash is in Kinder and Emmie is in Preschool).
