Seuss Stuff at Target

My daughter and I had a fun girl's day this week.

Complete with pedicures, haircuts, lunch, shopping, and many, many laughs. 

Our last stop was at our favorite store:

I am 99% Target has hired a retired teacher to choose items to display in their Dollar Spot. 

There are always so many things that are cute, practical and $1!!!

Just thought I would share my great finds this week:

(silly bands, stickers, erasers, cute bags, number cards to play memory)

Seuss in July, yes indeed!

Clean Up Robot

Have you heard of the clean up robot? 
I stumbled across this fab find this week and my students LOVE it! This song has increased the cleaning (and laughter!) at clean up time. 


WARNING! It will get stuck in your head! : ]

Kindergarten Corner

Kindergarten Corner is now open for business! ; )


I have created subject specific collections of games and videos that I think my Kindergarten friends will love! We will use these in the classroom and I am hoping that the students use these at home! : )

Please click on the "Kindergarten Corner" tab above or on the picture below to check it out!

I created these through a website called Symbaloo.
It's an awesome, easy to use bookmarking site! 

3D Shapes

My kindergarten friends *beg* me to play this song:

They have become 3D Shape experts... 

and LOVED making these 3D Shape Anchor charts.

They worked with a partner to draw a real life object/3D shape. 

They had to work together to figure who would draw, label, and talk when presenting to their peers. 

It was SO GREAT listening in as they worked out the details and I just adore how they turned out.
