One of my favorite things to do is create and share REAL, time-saving ideas with other teachers in hopes of helping make their lives easier and classrooms brighter ... so seriously, I'm glad you're here. Theres NO WAY I want to keep 20 years of learning, creating, and tried-and-true ideas all to myself. Come join the FUN!

It comes with special "perfect start papers" and beautiful step-by-step directions that make teaching it a breeze! PLUS... this project comes with an optional hunt... in case your students draw the gingerbread SO WELL that they become real and run away (wink, wink- you KNOW those gingerbreads- always running away!). These pre-written, cute, rhyming clues can take your little darlings on a silent, but thrilling hunt around your school in search of their gingerbread kids! :) <a href="https://www.howywoodkindergarten.com/collections/directed-drawings/products/gingerbread-man-directed-drawing-hunt-fun-christmas-winter-december" target="_blank">HERE is a link to the project</a>.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0W8erHOxfe/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

As we wrap up the writing (only takes 5-10 minutes max), then we watch a few teacher-approved YouTube video clips (1-3 min each) that make everything we learned about that day literally COME TO LIFE!!!

Want to get organized with your student assessments no matter what format our teaching and learning takes this year? You're going to want to see this!<div><br /></div><div>Some quick background: I've been using and loving Data Notebooks for YEARS in my classroom. Basically each student had a folder for tracking their assessments and growth. It included graphs and kid-friendly visuals so the kids could see what they knew, what they were working on, how they were making progress, and what their goals were for the end of the year! Not only that, it kept me super organized and it was PERFECT for parent teacher conferences - we'd literally just chat and flip through their data notebooks! Here's a 2 minute peek at how they looked if you're curious and want to just skim through this visual, but</div><p style="text-align: left;"><font size="5"> <b>KEEP READING because THERE'S A HUGE, EXCITING UPDATE BELOW :</b></font></p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nXYocSqnMyY" width="560"></iframe><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So... with all the uncertainty this year, I was wondering how I could still incorporate data notebooks if my class shifts between in person and online learning or does all one of the other.

If you're reading this, I'm guessing you're bravely diving into the world of distance learning! Me, tooooo! There's definitely a learning curve to all this new-ness, isn't there?! So that's why I'm here: to share some of the things that are SAVING MY LIFE right now! I hope it makes your life a little easier, too. Let's go!</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. GET ON GOOGLE DRIVE:</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy7F1I6HITnfxlip_UUSn2c4XvjYHiFQPd_tEda4mgyh_-SkJMEIN_YX36oVKYj02Tz5xlcewsriSRqkHhL4zFk0x2jZv8H1kkHeGlmlueRr1rg2tpsLZWSOU3yFMCxfv4EtUgcAOquulA/s1600/download.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy7F1I6HITnfxlip_UUSn2c4XvjYHiFQPd_tEda4mgyh_-SkJMEIN_YX36oVKYj02Tz5xlcewsriSRqkHhL4zFk0x2jZv8H1kkHeGlmlueRr1rg2tpsLZWSOU3yFMCxfv4EtUgcAOquulA/s200/download.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you haven't done much on Google Drive yet, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO TRY IT OUT! Do you have other people at your school you can share ideas and plans with? Google Drive is a game changer because you can all be looking at a document or presentation <u>at the same time</u>, editing it in real time while you're on a Zoom call together ...or you can add your links and ideas anytime and know that everyone from your team will be able to see and access it. It's the ultimate way to share the load of distance learning... and that leads me to tip #2...</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. SHARE THE LOAD:</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really hope you have a team or at least one like-minded colleague that will share ideas and work with you (if not though, keep reading because I have ideas for you, too...). For example, my kindergarten team is sending out 3-4 short video lessons per day to our students (I'll show you what that looks like in a sec). At first we thought we'd all do our own videos, but we pretty quickly realized that would be SO. Much. Work! If you're up for that, hey- more power to you, but when I go to our Google Drive and just grab the link for each day's math or writing lesson from my friend, I almost want to cry because I'm SO RELIEVED to not be doing this all alone. What a gift to be able to share.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you're feeling alone though, I want to encourage you that you can find some teacher friends to support you on TPT and also on various Facebook groups. For example, my school is using Seesaw as our content sharing platform and there is a "Seesaw Teachers" Facebook group that is overflowing with knowledge and helpful info to get each other through this time. Whatever YOU are using (any specific curriculum or platform or grade level) search for it on Facebook, and chances are there is a group there ready to answer your questions. Also- check the group's search feature because your good question may have already been asked and answered! If you're on Seesaw like me, be sure to check out the "activities library" for TONS of FREE activities you can use with your class. We're all in this together. 💕</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. GET ORGANIZED:</span></h2>

<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">A Weekly Newsletter:</b> </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It can give parents, students, and/or administration an overview of your week. You could make it as detailed or general as you wish. Personally, I send it out Sunday evenings to parents so they can have a quick peek at what is coming up. It says basic things like “Writing Journal, page 1” or “Math Lesson about more and less.” You could add learning targets, links, and more, but mine is just a simple week-at-a-glance with no links because I want them to get the links from my daily slide and not work ahead. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><b>A Guide for Students:</b> </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You <i>could</i> also share this with your students and, depending on their age, it might be a really efficient way to give them their weekly assignments. I’m staying away from this because I think it would overwhelm and confuse my kindergarteners, but YOU know your students best! </span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-indent: 0in;">If you're still searching for a way to deliver and share content with your students, I will tell you I've been using Seesaw for years and I love it - in both my face-to-face AND distance learning classroom. It's kid-friendly (remember, I teach 5 year olds, so if they can figure it out, most kids can!) and parents love it, too. The student work journal is the perfect place to post links to your daily (or weekly) lessons for kids. </span><br />

Students can post pictures or videos (everything has to be teacher approved before it actually hits the blog) and they can comment on each other's posts (these also require teacher approval, which I love.). I'm a huge Seesaw fan.

<h4>
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;">So in honor of our new adventure, here are the top 10 secrets for creating awesome teaching videos at home (...even if you don't feel like a YouTube Star!). </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Find some good, natural lighting: </span></b> Sit yourself in front of a window with the light coming in towards your face. Don't put a window directly BEHIND you or you'll probably look dark and hard to see. Take out your phone and spin around and see how the light changes your appearance. If it's late in the day or you don't have access to a window, think about shining a light towards yourself.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Consider your camera angle and orientation:</b></span> Y</span><span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;">ou don't want to have kids looking up your nose, etc. so you may want to prop your computer or phone up on some books or boxes or get a cheap phone holder to help you out. If you're using your phone, also be sure to have it going landscape (the long way) because that's what works best for sharing videos.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Simple lists can be your friend:</b></span> If you're nervous about forgetting everything you want to cover, jotting down a little list of highlights can be a great way to keep on track. You can even put the paper (or typed list or script on your computer) where no one will see it! They'll think you're such a pro. ;)</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">

<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Be thoughtful about your background:</b></span> Keep it simple and clean and/or maybe even school related. Without a doubt- even if you're working from a spare bedroom or sitting in front of your couch, your kids are going to love seeing you no matter what. Just make sure everything they're seeing is something you'd be okay with the whole world seeing (my Principal keeps half-joking about things like, "Don't film with your home bar in the background." :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; text-indent: 0in;">If you have a chance to still get into school, grab a few things from your classroom (or maybe you have something like this around home) : a lamp, globe, student artwork, a sign, class picture, plant, etc. Here's my set up, complete with the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pop-Art-Heart-Directed-Drawing-Perfect-for-Valentines-Day-and-MORE-3293027" target="_blank">"Pop Art Heart Directed Drawings"</a> in the background!): </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-size: large;"><b>5. Don't be TOOOOO much of a perfectionist:</b></span><span style="font-family: "chelsea market";"> This is me. I like to do things really, really well. A few of my teacher friends have encouraged me though to NOT re-watch and re-record my videos over and over. I needed that. Is it worth me taking hours and hours of my day to make the perfect 3 minute video my students will watch ONCE? Probably not. Do it well, but don't worry about being PERFECT. Be yourself. If you make a little mistake (just like you might in the real classroom! You might cough or your dog might bark, someone from your family may wander into the shot...), it's okay to laugh about it and keep going. Our video skills will improve with time and no one should expect us to be flawless, including ourselves. </span></div>

It lets you show yourself, your computer screen, or even BOTH at the same time (like your face can be in a smaller rectangle in the corner, still visible to the kids while you’re looking at my computer screen together!). You can also flip through those 3 options over the course of a single video. </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Once the video is recorded, you can upload it straight to YouTube from Screencast-O-</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Matic</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span></div>

Decide exactly how famous you want to be:</span></b> (I'm kidding...)</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"> I recommend saving your video in YouTube as an </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-weight: bold;">UNLISTED</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"> video. If it’s private, no one can see it besides you. If it’s public, the whole world can see it and it can show up in Google searches, etc. If it’s unlisted, only people with the link can see it ...so I think that’s </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-style: italic;">PERFECT</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"> for our purpose. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "chelsea market"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>9. Filter Out The Junk:</b></span> </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-style: italic;">ONE MORE STEP! </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">You probably know that after you watch a YouTube video, the screen fills with suggestions for videos to watch next. I didn’t want my kids to see all of that and be responsible for them potentially clicking on some inappropriate garbage so I recommend filtering your video through another site like “Safe YouTube,” </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">safeshare.tv</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">, or </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">viewpure</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">. It’s VERY EASY. You just grab the address of your YouTube video and then paste it into the site you want to use and they’ll give you a NEW link to give to your kids. Your video will still be on </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Youtube</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">, but now when kids watch it, they won’t have any risky pop ups. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "quicksand"; font-weight: bold; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">10. Beware of Blockers:</span> </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; text-indent: 0in;">Some servers may block certain video sites so this might take a little troubleshooting, but it shouldn’t be too bad. For example, I had to put it a request to our tech department to please unblock “safe </span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; text-indent: 0in;">youtube</span><span style="font-family: "quicksand"; text-indent: 0in;">” on any devices kids are borrowing from the school. Some families may also have filtering software set up at home that they will need to adjust so their child can view YouTube or whatever site you used to filter the videos with. It’s an easy fix, but I just wanted you to be prepared. </span><br />

If you’re working from home and/or diving into distance learning for your kids and feeling like you don't know how you're going to squeeze it all in (for yourself OR
your kids!), this system could be </span><b style="font-family: "Avenir Next", sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"><i>a total game-changer</i></b><span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> for you! The idea here is
that once you have the tasks laid out, people understand and can clearly visualize what they have to do, get it done at their <u>own pace</u> (with minimal reminders or hovering from parents!), and be free to do what they want for the rest of the day (Screen time? FaceTiming friends? You're the boss!). </span><br />

1. DEFINE THE TASKS:</span></b><span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> The
family works together to clearly define the jobs (you could just talk about it
or actually even SHOW kids if you think they’re not 100% clear on it already -
like what does it LOOK LIKE to successfully “clean the bathroom” or “clean your
room?”</span><br />

SET IT UP:</span></b><span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0in;"> Either first thing in the morning or at bedtime the night before, have kids help set up a list of tasks to be done. What do you want to accomplish? What needs to get done for home or school or yourself? Put those tasks on the “to do” side of the chart. You only need to include things that don’t already get done automatically (for example, if your teens are good about showering, don’t put that on their list. However, if they need reminding, just have them add it to their list.) Everyone will be able to clearly see what needs to happen before they are “free” to do other things. Be sure to give your kids some voice in what the day’s tasks should be. Getting them to buy in and own this whole idea is <i>huge</i>.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">3. GET TO WORK:</span></b><span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0in;"> As people work on the
tasks, they can move them across the chart : from the “to do” side... to the
“working on” space ... to the “done” side! My 8 year old LOVES this so much that she literally races around, getting all her work done. Personally, it also really helped ME as an adult to be able to visualize and knock out all the tasks I needed to get done each morning. It truly is something everyone can use and feel good about. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "avenir next" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0in;">One more tip about the work - some parents like to inspect their child’s work before kids can
officially move the task to the “done” side. You know your kids best- maybe you
need to do that, or maybe not. Jobs can
be done in any order, as long as they all get done.</span><br />

What a crazy couple of days, huh?! If your school hasn't started thinking about an extended "Spring Break" or taking a little time off to keep the germs away, it may be happening soon! I know it's hard to look at resources on TPT and figure out, "Is this something my kids could do without me at home??" So I thought I'd help you out and do a little round-up of some things I could imagine sending home for my kids! Click the any pic to be linked to the resource.<br />

These are brand new and I LOVE THEM. 3 unique choice boards are included on Google Slides. Each board is already filled in with 16 thoughtfully selected tasks that are age-appropriate for Kindergarten (give or take a year).<br />

<br />
<!--EndFragment-->I feel like each board could be a week’s worth of “homework.” You may also send other supplementary learning or some books or worksheets, but depending on what you need, this may be enough right here.<br />
<br />
If you have older students or want to change anything about the tasks, you can EDIT EVERYTHING on each of the boards to reflect what your class is learning and what you want them to work on.<br />
<br />
You can also edit the directions (Do you want families to complete a certain number of tasks per day? Should parents initial the boxes their student does? Should they snap a photo of the completed board and send it to you?). You’re the boss!</div>

This is an EXCELLENT "game" kids can play on their own (or with an adult) to help build their reading fluency and sight word knowledge. One paper lasts an entire week! There are two ways to play (for a time goal or a # of words goal) and the object of either game is to get FASTER! Word lists and tables are <u>completely editable</u> on Google Slides!</div>

There are several super fun options here! I'd do a packet/resource per week and assign a page per day (each resource has MANY page options and I do one page per story/day).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each resource has a theme like: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Gingerbread stories</li>
<li>Pigeon by Mo Willems stories</li>
<li>Goldilocks stories</li>
<li>3 Little Pigs stories </li>
</ul>

You could easily give your kids a link to the stories on Youtube (I don't provide those, but if you just search them up, I know all of the stories are out there- many with SEVERAL options to choose from!). Kids could watch/listen to the story and then complete the info. Gingerbread, Goldilocks, and Three Pigs all follow the same template each day so kids will get familiar with it. The Pigeon packet has more variety, but it's SO FUN and definitely a favorite of mine to teach! </div>

I know many of us are into "How To" writing this time of year so you also might like to send a handful of these home for kids. My class LOVES them and begs to be allowed to write even during choice and rest time because they love writing in them so much. :<br />

This is a project handed down from many other teachers- I did not make it up, but I tried it for the first time this year and think it's a keeper! :) Let me break it down for you step by step so you can try it, too!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Print or trace a large simple heart. One of my co-workers just drew one for us with pencil and we copied it onto white construction paper . Easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6E9V4OomFFO3auQSKoOcs8RzLED7iVFkZSzyAAxT-M7AD1IbqLzSkxFcszjS2A3TJaT64LU-h3nvL72d_tNoAN-yWrDtvbYw9-uBmjge7FZOYWaYrOcLgU3ly0QnfVh-3uGMvQUztxxIj/s1600/IMG_6120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6E9V4OomFFO3auQSKoOcs8RzLED7iVFkZSzyAAxT-M7AD1IbqLzSkxFcszjS2A3TJaT64LU-h3nvL72d_tNoAN-yWrDtvbYw9-uBmjge7FZOYWaYrOcLgU3ly0QnfVh-3uGMvQUztxxIj/s320/IMG_6120.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Model how this is done ahead of time for kids so they SEE how the painting happens, but here is the plan: </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a. Give each table or small group of kids a plate with a squirt of red paint. They paint 1 or 2 horizontal stripes of red along the top of their heart (don't worry if the line gets hard to see- it works out). Tell them to NOT go all the way to the edges of the paper- just make sure the drawn heart gets covered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiadRtb-5O_EkbtEfgMJ7srA_JYMyx1oWhgSHEtUpt9Cmri8TvGsZnl26ZJMR4U4DfpVphetmq0I8GCYCXV02vqYKiy0swoFFLGtLEYOcf1AP1sNU3IRyqSNoGYu0PygP6bZd8yCdAAD68N/s1600/IMG_6122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiadRtb-5O_EkbtEfgMJ7srA_JYMyx1oWhgSHEtUpt9Cmri8TvGsZnl26ZJMR4U4DfpVphetmq0I8GCYCXV02vqYKiy0swoFFLGtLEYOcf1AP1sNU3IRyqSNoGYu0PygP6bZd8yCdAAD68N/s320/IMG_6122.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
b. This is a "team project" so when everyone at their table/group finishes with the red, they should raise their hands to let you know they're done. You come around with white paint. Give them a squirt of white. Their job is to use their brushes to mix, mix, mix. They each add 1 or 2 more stripes or the little bit lighter red and then raise their hands again. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
c. You just keep coming around and adding more white each time until their heart gets covered.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let them dry for a day. Once they are dry, kids could probably cut them out, but I cut them out myself for my class. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxVFAvTNbi1pY_ZUeBU91oNH115BCush5TYNttXnxFKs3fZoPFGJoTeyErRqMZfgCRy8nTfjoC8nwymPzPBC0r1pUy2MGuITYDETAC5HWT8I17O5kCOjHJZYm8YisCZxiK5TDagNyZiweF/s1600/IMG_6125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxVFAvTNbi1pY_ZUeBU91oNH115BCush5TYNttXnxFKs3fZoPFGJoTeyErRqMZfgCRy8nTfjoC8nwymPzPBC0r1pUy2MGuITYDETAC5HWT8I17O5kCOjHJZYm8YisCZxiK5TDagNyZiweF/s320/IMG_6125.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Notice what happens if kids painted all the way to the edge of the paper- the edges roll up. Remind kids they JUST need to cover the heart.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hung ours up like this! Our 100th day of school and Valentine's Day both happen the same week. Even if yours are both in the same month or so, this would be a fun way to display them. My teacher-friend added a kindness quote to her's- so cute!<br />
<br />
Btw, for the "100 reasons we love our school" I had kids each write their names on a heart and I let them each write a couple more things they love, like gym, other teacher's names, things we learn about, etc. My "100" shape kind of stunk this year (LOL), but it works, right?! :)<br />
<br />
Happy Valentine's Day!<br />

Your kids will literally go crazy for this activity (in a good way... but warning:
there miiight be some cheering and excitement, see video below) ... and most importantly, the emotional
connection this game creates makes it a <u><b>highly effective way</b></u> for your kids to
get familiar with their words (sight words, spelling words, etc- you can really
use it for anything you want)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg first time in forever"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here’s the scoop on how it works: </span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg first time in forever"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "doodle basic"; font-size: 11pt;">Each page teaches 6 words and each
word corresponds with a # on a die. Kids roll the die and </span><u><span style="font-family: "doodle basic"; font-size: 11pt;">write the word </span></u><span style="font-family: "doodle basic"; font-size: 11pt;">in
the blank above the corresponding number (be sure to have them actually WRITE
the word and not just color in spaces like they’re graphing). It quickly becomes an exciting race to see
which word will WIN by making it to the top first! I like to play this whole group (kids will
literally be cheering for the word they want- it gets intense... in a good way
that makes the words so memorable to them!) and I also like to use this as an
independent word work activity for our literacy center time. This resource includes 28 fun seasonal
variations of the game that make it SIMPLE for you to keep things looking fresh
and super motivating for kids ALL YEAR LONG.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "kg blank space solid"; font-size: 11pt;">1.
Zero Prep: </span><span style="font-family: "doodle basic"; font-size: 11pt;">You
can train kids to <u>select their own 6 words</u> to use and write them in at the
bottom of the sheet. You can coach them
to choose challenging words, anything from their spelling list or the class
word wall, or give them a list to choose from. Print-and-go sheets for this are
included as part of this PDF.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "kg blank space solid"; font-size: 11pt;">2. One Minute Prep: </span><span style="font-family: "doodle basic"; font-size: 11pt;">This one is EDITABLE on Google
Slides (your easy link is included in the freebie) so you can type in the exact 6
words you want kids to use and print. I

Looking for a quick, super cheap way to brighten up your classroom at school or at home? Check out how I made these banners! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Materials Needed: laminated paper in the colors of your choice (mine came from Astrobrights), ribbon, hole punch, and a paper cutter- that's it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 1:</b> Laminate your paper. Do as much or little as you want. I did 3 pages of 7 different colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 2:</b> Use your paper cutter to trim it into triangles. I cut one big triangle from the center of the page (like top corners down to bottom center). Then I used the scraps to cut several smaller traingles (pictured below). </div>

And here it is hanging up in my classroom~ The big triangles are on the brick wall and the little ones are above the bookshelves. I just used some binder clips to attach them to the metal part of the ceiling. Yay for fun and affordable!<br />

I'll break it down for you step-by-step:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Gather your supplies:</b> I grabbed the 50-pack of Grafix clear Shrink Film from Amazon. In hind sight, I didn't need that much... I only used 1 sheet for every 4 kids! So if you can find a smaller pack at a craft store (and maybe use your teacher discount?!), GO FOR IT! You don't need much. Maybe give yourself a few extra pages so you can do a "practice?"<br />
<br />
<b>Other things you'll need are:</b> an awesome drawing project (see #2), hole punch, scissors for you, permanent markers (I used regular Sharpies), colored pencils (any old kind), a scrap of cardboard, an oven, and ribbon (for necklaces) or magnets or keychains or ??? as the finishing touches!<br />

2. <b>The All-Important Artwork:</b> <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mothers-Day-Directed-Drawing-Students-draw-themselves-someone-special-3138085" target="_blank">We did my Mother's Day Directed Drawing project. </a> Kids can draw themselves alongside anyone special... obviously drawing themselves with mom or grandma is a winner for Mother's Day, but these would also be cute to do with dad or grandpa for Father's Day. I have a whole collection of easy-to-follow directed drawing projects that would also be PERFECT for this.... they all come with "perfect start" papers to get ensure everyone gets off to a perfect start and step-by-step, full color direction shows that makes them super easy to teach! Seriously. My class is already planning to turn the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mothers-Day-or-Fathers-Day-Superhero-Directed-Drawing-Writing-1272553" target="_blank">"Superhero Directed Drawing"</a> into keychains for Father's Day!<br />
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Directed-Drawing-Bundle-Art-for-every-season-3296954" target="_blank"> Other options include:</a> Sunflower, Rainbow, Penguin, Butterfly, Gingerbread, Turkey, Pumpkin, a Pop Art Heart and ooooooh... <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Self-Portrait-Directed-Drawing-Project-Classic-best-seller-2078080" target="_blank">everyone's favorite: the Self Portrait!!!</a> Oh my gosh- those would be so cute as magnets sitting on people's fridges. Hmmmm... maybe it's good I DID buy the 50-pack of shrink paper because I'm definitely excited about all these ideas... LOL!<br />
<br />
So- ANYWAY, now that you know all the options, let's get back to the project! We <b>drew</b> our directed drawings on our "perfect start" papers and then <b>traced</b> over everything with permanent markers and STOPPED. NO coloring (yet).<br />

3. I took the papers and ran them through the <b>copy machine at a 50% reduced size</b>. They came out like this:<br />

4. <b>Cut the shrink film into fourths</b>. I recommend using a paper cutter for this, 1-2 sheets at a time.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8gU1g8zzSCdlCSsFd0cSplCREJXq5UrzDqY_67WM0XRaO6PHrVxWCY8qRYR4UAID49IZdQVN4_gbsO_7uQWS45xeWIwCyItzlKDACENpgEtCPIZZYFLCS_JqQ8DjzfiIUPBWBOWuxNsIJ/s1600/temp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8gU1g8zzSCdlCSsFd0cSplCREJXq5UrzDqY_67WM0XRaO6PHrVxWCY8qRYR4UAID49IZdQVN4_gbsO_7uQWS45xeWIwCyItzlKDACENpgEtCPIZZYFLCS_JqQ8DjzfiIUPBWBOWuxNsIJ/s320/temp.png" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Use a scissors to <b>round out the sharp corners</b>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6. Use a <b>hole punch</b> to punch a hole near one end. Here's a picture of a finished product on my computer keyboard (for scale) so you can see how big the hole turns out in the end. It'll be perfect for threading a thin, colorful ribbon or attaching a keychain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. <b>Tape:</b> Use a little bit of tape on one edge of the shrink film to attach it to the paper. Be sure to tape the film scratchy side UP. You want them to draw on the roughed-up side.<br />

Show them how they could gently flip the shrink film up to check and make sure they traced all the lines and didn't miss tracing an eye or anything important. :)<br />
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u>Teacher tip:</u></i> The permanent markers CAN smear if kids smudge them within a split-second of drawing. They dry really fast though- so if they go slow and careful, they'll be fine. If you do run into a big smear (we had one from a little speedster), my amazing assistant had success rubbing the smear off with a Q-tip and hand sanitizer. Teachers are such great problem solvers!<br />
<br />

I've heard you can also use colored permanent markers. <i><u>Teacher tip:</u></i> All colors get darker once they shrink. Our colored pencils didn't appear to show up very brightly on the shrink film, but don't worry- they look better once they shrink.<br />
<u><i>Another Teacher tip: </i></u> I love the look of the translucent, scratchy white background so I told kids to NOT color it in.<br />
<i><u>Final tip:</u></i> I always have my kids take a <u>light</u> pink and color some life into their people's cheeks. It's our little secret to awesome faces. ;)<br />

10. <b>Names:</b> When kids finished coloring, they brought their artwork to me and I peeled off the little piece of tape and wrote their name and the year at the bottom.<br />

11. <b>Baking time!</b> Okay, this feels like the scary part, but I'll walk you through and it'll be magical! You've got this! (fist bump)<br />
<br />
<b>Pre-heat your oven to 325</b>. The directions recommend anywhere between 300-350... so I tried this with two different ovens and 325 worked great for both.<br />
<br />
While that's heating up, it's time to <b>make your "baking pan!"</b> Mine is just a cardboard scrap from the recycling bin at school. Don't use a regular baking pan because the film can stick to metal or glass and that'd be no bueno! :)<br />
<br />
Lay the artwork out on your pan, coloring side UP, and make sure each piece has a little space to wiggle.<br />
<br />
When the oven is ready, <b>pop it in!</b> For the first 30 seconds-minute, <i>NOTHING</i> will happen. Then suddenly things will begin to pucker and curl and <i>-don't panic-</i> look like they're stuck to the cardboard in several places... <i>don't worry- it's all good!</i> <br />
<br />
<b>You'll know exactly when to take them out: when they lay perfectly flat.</b> If the corners are a little curled up, give it a few more seconds and they'll lay down for you. You can pull the cardboard out with your bare hand... it won't get hot like a regular baking sheet.<br />

12. <b>Cooling:</b> Give them about 60 seconds to cool and harden up. Then gently push them off the cardboard with a spatula.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Note:</u></i> Some places say you can spray the finished products with a special protective coating, like Modge Podge Spray. You probably could, but I'm here to tell you: I don't think you don't need to. Save your $ if you want. If I take my thumb and rub really hard over the colored pencil of our finished products, a teeeeeeny tiny bit comes off on my finger, only on the first rub. Like tiny. NBD. So this step is up to you, but I feel good about skipping it.<br />
<br />
13. <b>The Finishing Touch! </b> Add thin colorful ribbon or yarn to turn these into necklaces ...or add metal keychains... or whatever you want to do! The sky's the limit! I imagined I'd do a cute ribbon, but realized colorful yarn works just as well (and is even cheaper!) so here is how ours turned out...<br />

Aren't they pretty?! I think these would be fun to do anytime during the Winter and they'd look beautiful hanging in the hall or in your classroom. But if you're looking for a beautiful holiday gift, these are wonderful. I've done this project many years with my classes and would definitely recommend it! :) Complete directions below...<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's how it's done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time: It takes a few days to complete to allow time for the tissue paper to dry.</div>
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Tissue paper squares and/or strips (I accidentally had a few strips in my bin and they ended up looking so pretty- I'm definitely going to do more strips next year!)</li>
<li>Bottles of glue</li>
<li>Fat paint brushes</li>
<li>Blue watercolor paint</li>
<li>White tempera paint</li>
<li>Q-tips</li>
<li>Two 9 x12 sheets of white construction paper per student</li>
<li>One 12 x 16 sheet of colored construction paper per student (12 x 18, trimmed a little to make a mat for the finished project.... I chose black)</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Day 1: </h4>
<div>
Squeeze glue onto the paper and brush it around. Don't be afraid to be generous-- it feels weird to squirt out so much glue because we normally don't got crazy with it like that (Teacher Tip: Some years I've made a mix of glue and water for kids... which was extra work and kinda complicated to distribute so this year I tried just using straight glue and wah-la! It worked perfectly fine and made my life easier. Maybe the mix is a good option if you're low on glue, but otherwise I'd vote for keeping it simple.). </div>
<div>
Stick tissue paper squares onto the glue. Teach kids to make the tissues overlap and touch... don't leave a lot of white spaces. Then squirt more glue over the tissue and spread it around so there aren't any corners sticking up. </div>
<div>
Teacher Tip: To make things easier, my class agreed to not put names on these and just work together for the class to be able to share the finished tissue art. I'd definitely recommend this! </div>

Prep for you: Cut the dried tissue paper pages into various sizes of triangles. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Give kids a new piece of white construction paper and have them paint a wavy or straight (artist's choice) blue line around the middle of their page. Paint half blue for the sky and leave the other half white for the snowy ground. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let these dry (watercolor doesn't take long). Later that same day or the next day call kids over to the triangle pile (a few kids at a time) and have them pick three triangle "trees" they like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They could probably glue them themselves, but personally, I put the glue on, handed the triangles back to the kids and let them decide where them stick down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last step was letting them use a q-tip to add white tempera paint "snow" to the scene. </div>

Finally, I'll be gluing them onto the larger black rectangle to make a frame around the artwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We usually use butcher paper, glued together and made into big decorated paper "envelopes" to send these home as gifts. Beautiful! I think families will treasure these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are a few more examples as well as a video I made a long time ago of another year's finished artwork.</div>

Two Tricks Worth Trying...Oh, teacher friends. Kid germs got you feeling run down? Seriously. We are on the front lines and get exposed to so much at school! Just yesterday, my teacher-friend lost almost half her class to the "throw-ups" .... yikes!!! I think that'd be enough to make me toss out all our community crayons and pencils and just start fresh. ;) Anyway...<br />

I wanted to share a couple new things I've learned this Fall that have really helped me stay well. Like I've gone to bed with the WORST sore throat, feeling horrible, and/ or almost completely lost my voice, but time after time if I've pulled out this simple arsenal, I've ended up being fine. It's like magic. So these are great tricks. I just love to share things and try to help other teachers, so HERE:<br />
<br />
1. Massage: At first glance, this video looks like it's going to be old and cheesy, but actually- it's AWESOME. I don't know who this guy is, but I know he knows the lymphatic system. Ha! The vid is 8 minutes and he explains how/why things work for the first 4 min and actually models how to help things drain the last 4 minutes. So I only watched the beginning once and now whenever I feel a sore throat coming on, I just fast forward to the 4 minute mark and follow along with his routine. I've done it so many times now I can do it pretty well on my own. It's super easy and friends, it's FOR REAL. You can feel a difference right away! Sometimes it does hurt if you rub over a swollen gland, but hey- it's better than getting sick. And it's not anything weird so you can do it while you're sitting at your computer or the staff lounge or anywhere. I seriously can't believe I got to be almost 40 years old and never knew to do this?! Check out Dr. Mark's method for encouraging your lymph system and sinuses to drain...<br />

2. Elderberry Syrup: Another sick-day-saver! When you feel a cold, sore throat, or flu coming on, you take a tablespoon or 2 of this juice and it works wonders for boosting immunity! It tastes surprisingly great and is safe/yummy enough for picky kids, too. Some people say it's even more effective than a flu shot! You can buy it for about $20 at Whole Foods or similar stores, but guess what- you can also buy the berries online and make your own for a fraction of the cost! I've been using the recipe and instructions from Wellness Mama, here: <a href="https://wellnessmama.com/1888/elderberry-syrup/" target="_blank">https://wellnessmama.com/1888/elderberry-syrup/</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://wellnessmama.com/1888/elderberry-syrup/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="594" data-original-width="640" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlbmZ5xtHkW11YSHv13JJccOmqheWhkdgIxZlrjsl1_OE8S2f0IoSSxPe1UxwiTPd_BrqkuZ9SYgLXqRTRMxXy0fGfoD1Suf5D2vRqDkJ354rGf4qV8yX32PSX2oWEoscwIKG2Q6z4KQ8C/s400/Homemade-Elderberry-Syrup-Natural-Remedy-for-Colds-and-Flu.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought these berries -- <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=howywood00-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B000UVUHXY&asins=B000UVUHXY&linkId=84b2216fecada3c577626611ccee397b&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true&price_color=333333&title_color=5600bf&bg_color=ffffff" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">
</iframe> (aff link) and it was WAY easier than I thought it'd be to make... basically boil them, mash, strain, and add honey after it cools off. Done! Even my hubby is happy to whip up a batch of elderberry syrup when we're getting low.<br />
BTW- I discovered there is some crazzzzy elderberry price hiking that happens in the winter, probably due to supply and demand and the berries not being in season (like it went up to $50/bag this year)... so I think it would be smart to stock up when the price is more like $20. You can keep the berries in the freezer for a long time and they'll be fine. </div>

The homemade syrup keeps in the fridge for about a month or two. You'll know when it's on it's way out if it starts to ferment.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I grabbed a fun glass bottle from Home Goods to keep mine in and when we know the icky sickies are going around or we've been exposed to something, my family all takes a shot a day. During less peak sickness times, we don't take it everyday- more like every other or a few times per week. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">These are both great tricks for preventing illness, stopping it in it's tracks (if you feel something coming on- do these and you might not actually get sick. That's what I usually end up doing!), or easing symptoms and duration of illness if you actually DO get sick. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">If the germs win (booooo!) and you need to miss a day of school... be sure to check out these time-saving, stress-free sub plans designed to accompany popular books you probably have sitting in your classroom or school library (sets are available individually or you can grab the big bundle that includes an awesome binder, generic plans for any day, and over a week's worth of print and go academic activities).

<span style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><b>SUMMER UPDATE:</b></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">We made it! My kids and I made it through the ENTIRE school year without getting anything worse than a little cold. I have NEVER, in my history of being a mom, had a year where I haven't used ALL my sick days, plus some (which you may know, can be very $$$ once you start going "into the hole"). This was the first! Yay! Other mamas on my kid's sports teams kept asking me HOW ON EARTH my kids didn't get all the junk that swept through the teams on several occasions. More than ever now, I think these tricks are the real deal and hope sharing them with you helps you save your precious sick days, $$$, and sanity! Wishing you wellness!</span><br />

My kinders loved it and they turned out awesome!"<br />
<br />
You guys. I am SOOOO in love with how these turkeys look hanging in our hall this month!!! Most of these were actually done my my teacher-friend's K class... tiny 5 year olds created these! They're so precious! I just have to share how beautiful and unique they are (and also sharing so I have it easy for myself to find to show my next year's class as awesome examples!)!<br />
<br />
If you're doing <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Directed-Drawing-Thanksgiving-November-Fall-Anytime-3285987" target="_blank">the directed drawing</a> with your class, these would be AWESOME to show your kids ahead of time so they know what the end goal is and how they can turn out. Hopefully they'll be inspired by some of these fancy feathers and careful coloring. :)

Looking for a fabulous October art project to hang in your classroom? These are seriously SO beautiful! My entire team of six kindergarten teachers tried these out for the first time this year and we all fell in love... and now the artwork looks so gorgeous hanging in our classrooms and hallways.<br />

I ADORE how directed drawings build kid's artistic confidence and listening / direction following skills at the same time. It's so good for them (and always insightful for us teachers to see how well everyone follows along!).<br />

My ultimate plan is to do a fun directed drawing project with my class each month, save them in page protectors and then put them all into an easy, affordable end-of-the-year gift for the kids (that they kinda made for themselves- lol- how sneaky of me)! It's sure to be a "keeper" families will treasure.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
Here's how it works... I make it simple with:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "proxima nova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">✏️ Print & Go, "Perfect Start" Paper (has special starting points already lightly printed on it to ensure ALL artists get off to a perfect start!)</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "proxima nova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">✏️ A gorgeous, full color show that guides everyone step-by-step through the pumpkin drawing process (pic below shows some drawing slides, but there are also a bunch of coloring directions included- not shown). You get detailed photos, clear explanations worded in ways that kids understand, tips and reassurance for artists, and loads of creative variations so all YOU have to do is flip through this show and read what it says aloud, one page at a time. Super simple to teach! Feel free to do it with OR without the heart in the middle. I think it looks fantastic either way.</span><br />

So it's super easy!<br />
1. Find a picture you like... any clip art or photo will work! If you have the option, you'll probably want to choose png files (clear background) instead of jpeg (white background). Find it, click on it and it will open like this. Then hit command-c to copy it.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">UPDATE:</span></b> Brain Boxes were a huge success in my classroom! I'm in my second year of using them and they've worked even better than I could've imagined. I originally thought I'd have to switch them out each month or so... but believe it or not, my class used these same boxes ALL YEAR LONG. That almost makes me feel like a tiny bit of a rotten teacher for not going nuts trying to make them fresh and seasonal, but guess what- no worries, because they LOVED them! All. Year. Long. </div>
<h4 style="clear: both;">
I love to share so... I'm giving away the "Fine Motor Mats" I use in my boxes for FREE! You can grab them by clicking on the big pic above. </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So here we are 2 months into year 2 with the same boxes (these things will last forever) and basically the exact same activities as I used last year. I've replaced the pipe cleaners for the bead stringing and decided to swap out the hole punchers (they got messy) with tinker toys I found at a garage sale (they're a total hit). I'd recommend Brain Boxes to any teacher looking for SIMPLE, fine motor work kids can do at the beginning or end of the day or when they finish work quickly. </div>

I'm so excited to launch these BRAIN BOXES in my classroom soon!
Apparently it's an idea that's been around for a long time (my
teacher/sister says she did them with her class 10 years ago, but I've
seen them becoming "hot" again lately... so I wanted to share my
management plan, what's in mine, where I got the stuff and all that in
case YOU want to try them to!</div>

So pre-brain boxes, my kiddos would come in, do their morning routine (backpack, folder, order lunch, etc) and plop down on their sit spot to visit with friends while we waited for the school news to begin. It'd usually take 10-15 minutes for the news to come on so honestly, I realized I probably COULD have been doing something more valuable with their time than sitting and chatting (although that's good too in some ways, right?). I've never been a fan of "morning work" worksheets... so brainboxes are the perfect solution! MOST of these focus on fine motor skills which are PERFECT for the beginning of the year!<br />

My plan (at least initially- we'll see how this goes!) is that kids who arrive early/on time can do their morning routine and then grab a brain box of their choice to work on quietly in the room.<br />

How fun are these cards pictured below? They fit perfectly in the boxes
(more on where the boxes are from in a minute!). I had to make them
because I couldn't find what I was looking for on TPT. Everything I
found was mostly black and white and full sized pages. These are super
fun and colorful (obviously, right?!) and they have little grey circles
that show kids where to place the pom poms. Not sure if you can see the
circles from this pic, but they're easy to see up close. I purposely
made the circle light so they wouldn't overpower the pictures. :) <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fine-Motor-Mats-for-Brain-Boxes-Exploration-Boxes-Busy-Boxes-or-just-FUN-2746268" target="_blank">See them HERE!</a><br />

It's pom poms from Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby. I think the kids will like them so much I dedicated 2 boxes to this. I got medium, little, and even itty bitty sized poms for extra fun! The big blue plastic tweezer is from Dollar Tree ($1 obvs) and I also got 2 of the cheapest metal tweezers from Target (less than $1 for 2). I put a metal one and a plastic one in each box. They BOTH work great for pinching pom poms, which surprised me because I wasn't sure the little metal ones would work... but happy surprise- they totally do! </td></tr>

school late or are pokey doing their jobs. That's okay.</li>

going to let them work alone or with ONE other person (because I have
less boxes than kids). The volume in the room should be pretty chill

vacation, have a few weeks or months to go, or maybe just 7 days like me
(YAY!!), those last few days we have with our students are </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">ones
we </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">teachers
want to make extra </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">special!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Note: If you want to make this EXTRA festive and suspenseful, put these ideas inside balloons! They don't have to be
helium filled... just plain </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">ol</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 14.0pt;">
balloons are perfect! Before you blow each one up, slip in a little piece of
paper that says one SPECIAL activity your kids can do that day. Then blow
them up and label the balloon with a # or date so you know when you want it to
get popped. Each morning pick a lucky student to pop the balloon and
reveal what today's surprise is. Kids LOOOOOOVE this!</span></div>
