Here are a few of my favorite activities that promote friendship and kindness (because Valentine’s day doesn’t just have to be about pink, hearts, and chocolate!)

If your classroom is anything like mine have been, you are working with a wiiiiiide range of abilities. I’ve had students reading fluently on a 5th grade level, while others are working to match color-to-color. Most of my current task box bundles are geared toward the Pre K- 1st grade skill set. I have a higher level set in the… Read More
As you may know, I am a huge fan of hands-on projects and experiments. In college, I worked as a “Mad Scientist” at a science summer camp for kids ages 5-12.

How awesome is this idea for older students?We don't do too many art projects in my classroom because it is really hard to find projects that are easy enough for my crowd, but still age appropriate.

My students really look forward to it too! Some students often ask me to take a picture of them doing something now, because they want capture memories for their scrap book, whether its a cooking lesson, field trip, or off campus job! Students get to be creative and decorate their pages how they want, and choose if they want to write, type or use stickers or stamps to create a caption/description to each picture.
