Interactive Science Journals for Young Learners

I am so excited to have finished my Interactive Science Journal Pack for young Learners.  This baby is stuffed full of a million different science prompts, pictures, activities and more!
 
I am so happy to be done with this huge project, because I just found out I am going to be working from home starting next week.  This will be a totally new adventure, but I'll explain that in a later post.
Click the picture to check it out!!!
 


I plan to do a few posts later on about some of the activities individually.  I promise this is one pack that is worth the $$$.  I wish I had this four years ago.  Many schools are dismissing science.  If we do this, what will happen to the doctors, lab techs, nurses, etc..?  This pack helps you bring science into the classroom while still including ELA.
 
 
If you're still with me........
I'd like to offer you a sample page from the pack.  You can use it when introducing how to use the hand lens/magnifying glass.
 
You can grab this little freebie by clicking the picture below.
Here's what it might look like in their Science journals:
 
 
I hope you have had a wonderful week!
Leave me some love if you grab my freebie.
 
Happy Friday!!!!

Throwback Thursday

 
I've decided to link up with The First Grade Parade for Throwback Thursday.  I've been wanting to share some things I always do during color week as a kinder teacher.  So, Throwback Thursday is the perfect way to do that!
 
I originally wrote this post about this time last year.  Here are a few pictures from color week.  You can find some of these activities and more in my Crazy for Color Words Pack!
 
 




 
Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you found some fun ideas for teaching colors and color words.

Be a Good Listener Anchor Chart- Freebie!!!

You think kids come to school knowing how to walk in line, sit quietly, stand in the hall, go through the cafeteria line, listen when someone is talking, etc...  But-- they don't!  You have to train your kiddos to do all of this and so much more.
 
 
This is an anchor chart I created for you guys to grab as a freebie!  Print the pictures and words off, add them to some chart paper, and laminate if you wish.
 
The first month or so of school you spend sooooo much time going over procedures and rules.  Sometimes, we forget some of the simplest things we need to discuss with our kiddos.  Keep this chart up for a few months or all year if needed. You can refer back to it at any time and ask your kiddos if they are being a good listener.

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me a comment if you grab it.

Saturday Snapshots!

I'm linking up with Mrs. Nelson for Saturday Snapshots!
 
 
Here are a few moments I captured this week.
 
Hanging out with daddy before bed.

We are practicing sitting up and reading!  She is gifted.. lol!!!

We went to the Wilson County Fair last night.  It was a bit overwhelming... especially with a baby.  However, she was great! She stayed wide awake until on our way home at 10pm.. crazy girl!
 
I've been working on an Interactive Science Journal for Young Learners.  I cannot wait to get it in my store and share it with you guys!  It will be an EXCELLANT resource with any science curriculum!
 
I also made this adorable anchor chart on being a good listener.  Check back later this week to see how you can grab this freebie!
 
Happy Saturday!!!!

My 1st Linky---Back to School Bulletin Board Showcase!!!

 
Something I always got a little bit giddy about was setting up my first bulletin board of the year.  Almost every year I would buy something new to put up.  However, last year I created something that was Pinterest Inspired! I honestly cannot tell you who pinned it first.. But I fell in love! I bought the paper, a brand new sharpie, the posters, glitter and got to work.  Once I had laminated my new creation, I couldn't wait to display it in the hall for all my new kinders and their parents to see!  Here is the finished product...
 
We're going to have a BALL in Kindergarten!
 
 
Am I the only one who LOVES to create adorable Bulletin Boards???  I think not!
 
That's what inspired my first LINKY!
 
I'd love to see what all my other fellow bloggers have created to display outside or inside their room for Back to School.  If I get a decent amount of people to link up-- I will come back and make a collection of BB in another post for you to have as a reference!
