Kindergarten Common Core Labels

I created labels with every CCS on them.  I printed several copies and will keep them in my lesson planning binder to stick onto my lesson plans.  I don't know why, but it drove me crazy to type in the standards in my plans!  This way, I did the work upfront and will be able to easily track what standards I still need to teach.  

If you would like a set of your own (only $1.50!!), please check them out HERE

I will be creating a third grade set (upon request) next.  If you would like a set for your grade level, let me know!

Supply Labels

Our Open House is next week. On this night, not only do we get to meet our new kiddos, but parents (happily) unload the school supplies that have invaded their homes. I wanted a simple solution to the piles of fresh school supplies and created simple tags to tie onto baskets. The parents can just toss in their supplies and the sorting will be done for me. I will do community supplies this year, so everything will remain in these baskets until the kids need them. Clutter on top of the tables drives me crazy, so crayons, markers, and glue sticks will remain on shelves until they are needed. Well, that's my current plan ;) 

 This is my first product on TPT! If you download this and would like additional signs to suit your classroom needs, I'm willing to customize a set for you. Email me(landingink@gmail.com)what you need and I'll get it back to you! I hope you can take advantage of this freebie!

0-10 Number Signs

I made new number signs for my classroom this year.  They are very simple, but I wanted the focus to be on the number and not overwhelm the posters with too many graphics.  I plan to hang them on colorful cardstock and put them underneath my whiteboard so they are easy for my kiddos to spot.

Classroom Labels

As I'm sure everyone else is, I've spent a lot of time thinking about and planning for the upcoming school year.  Since this will be my second year teaching Kindergarten, I'm evaluating what worked and what didn't work for me last year.  I read Math Work Stations by Debbie Diller this summer and am inspired to launch them in my classroom this year.

Though my classroom is always organized, I'm taking it a step further and labeling everything- starting with the math manipulatives.  After a quick search, I found KinderTastic's free math manipulative labels and loved them.  She was generous enough to offer them for free.  Since her labels didn't cover all that I needed labels for, I used her tips to create more of my own to meet my needs (the font she used is Tweed from dafont.com and I immediately went and downloaded it!).

I hope you can use these labels!  Thank you to Judy Lau at KinderTastic for the inspiration.  Hop on over and check out her fantastic ideas.

Birthday Balloons

This project from Once Upon A First Grade Adventure was the first classroom project I completed this summer.  I picked up my twisty straws at The Dollar Tree and used her free templates.  Her templates are adorable and matched the straws very well.  It feels good to have birthday treats ready to go!  Thanks, Mrs. Hilderbrand!
