The Goodness That is Vistaprint

I love Vistaprint! What teacher doesn't? I love looking at ways other teachers use Vistaprint items in their classrooms. Here are a few of my favorite things I've created over the years.

Small Window Decal for the small window on my classroom door.

Small Business Card Magnets I will send home on the first day of school. What a great way to keep the refrigerator up to date with new artwork from kindergarten!

Return Address Labels made into book labels.

Tote Bag I will fill with a few birthday books/items and a journal to be filled out on/near the child's birthday and returned to school for sharing.

Postcards for replenishing supplies around January.

Mousepad...I need to make another one with number words.

Circular Product Labels for birthday bags.

Date Stamp-this is my most used item in the classroom. I use it to stamp journals, artwork, writing samples. I l-o-v-e it!

Keychain used on all take-home bags.

Just found your blog and followed you. Love your stuff. Everything looks great. I've been hearing a lot about VistaPrint but have not tried them out. Looks like I need to head over there.
The Wonderful World of Kindergarten

These are a few of my favorite things...

Lil' Country Kindergarten is having a Linky Party. The subject? My teaching wouldn't be the same without... #1 Music, but most importantly music by Mr. Al . Some of my friends and I were lucky enough to attend a Mr. Al conference earlier this year. I just love his music, enthusiasm, and creativity. Some of our favorites include Please Stand Up, Funky Backwards Alphabet, and Rockin' the Alphabet. #2 Expo dry erase markers...the big pack with all the colors. Having all the colors available is handy when drawing pictures on the whiteboard. I also really love TUL low odor dry erase markers. They are magnetic on one side and stay attached to the whiteboard. I find these markers at my local Office Max. I can not find these exact markers on their website, unfortunately. #3 The Royal Reading & Writing Center from Really Good Stuff. This thing has it all: magnetic dry erase board, storage tubs, pencil/marker storage, removable dry erase board with lines, big book st

No Excuses!

Hello! Long time no see! I'm going to try to update this pitiful blog at least once a week. That is my goal, at least. I wish I could say that I have been super productive over Christmas break, but sadly I haven't. I haven't really thought about school other than pinning a few items. That counts, right? Every year my class always volunteers to make ornaments to decorate the Christmas trees on the navy base near our school. It is hard for kindergarteners to part with their ornaments, so I always have them make two of the same ornament (one for home and one for the base). We made popsicle trees this year. I just hot glue the popsicle sticks together. The students use green Sharpies to color the tree shape. They glue sequins and tree trunks to the tree shape and that's it. I usually add a ribbon hanger to the top. I took the last few days off before Christmas break began to go to Disney World with my family. I knew if we waited until official break be

New Classroom!!!!

Can you tell I'm super excited? I've been teaching in a teeny tiny room for the last three years. My room was originally built as a "Resource Room" and the only good thing I can say about it was the office had plenty of storage, but the actual room was the size of a closet. Out in blogland, I'm always surprised when I see pictures of other teachers' rooms and they call their rooms tiny. I would happily trade them for their "tiny" rooms. This past year, I was lucky enough to utilize the resource room across the hall for literacy and free centers. The two rooms together actually equal the size of a normal classroom. Though it was much better, it is nice to finally graduate to a full size classroom, and have all my stuff in one space. Last week, I set about the task of moving. I can't believe I had so much stuff. I'm super excited about my new LARGE classroom and the fact that I get to share an office with my teaching buddy! We taug
