Quick Tip: Cut Notebooks In Half For Kids Dishing It Out

This is better because you can get these notebooks for 10 cents at Staples before school starts. Also, as a teacher, the small notebooks get lost easier and have to few pages. They are also a lot flimsier. This is a great idea for teachers who need to stretch their resources. I think I'm going to do this as a "Do Now" book for my middle schoolers. Love It!

I saw your invitations in VivaPress's ETSY shop! I got the same invites for my husband's surprise 30th birthday party that's next week. I love seeing the party. It has given me some great last minute ideas. THANKS!

My bedroom was the dining room too! I was converted when I was 11. Be careful though. It made it very easy to sneak out at night because I was next to the front door and on the other side of the house from the rest of my family lol

Tissues, paper towels and glue sticks are items that you can never have enough of. I taught 1st grade for 4 years and will be a 5th grade teacher this September. Those items are the life line of the classroom (as sad as that is). Also, there are reasons for specific color decisions by the teacher. If all writing folders are yellow and all math folders are red that is important to the organization system. That is especially true in the younger kids. When I say take out your writing folder, they just look at me. However, when I say to take out your yellow writing folder I get results!

I'm vegetarian. I would never eat veggie burgers that look like that nor have I ever seen one like that lol. I thought they were some sort of pill.

I love Ezra Jack Keats.
This isn't seasonal but everyone needs the kids book The Shortcut by Donald Crews. My poor first grade students have heard that book over 10 times this year because I just LOVE it so much.
