Kindergarten Common Core

I have spent countless hours on Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, blogs, etc... trying to find lots of resources so that I can implement the Kindergarten Common Core Standards. Alas! I have found everything I need in one book! I just downloaded the sample, and I'm in love. I emailed my team and principal the link to this awesome resource. I'm hoping they will agree to purchase this!  Head on over to their website and check it out!

Beginning of the year...

Well, I started working in my room on Thursday...it's coming along. I went back yesterday and today...AND NO A/C! AHHHHH, it's too hot in Florida to work in your classroom without a/c. Holy moly!

Here are some Freebies.

Folgers Plastic Coffee Cans

My dad use to work in an office and apparently they went through Folgers coffee, like it was the last cup they were EVER going to drink! Because of this I have acquired 20 Folgers plastic containers. I saw this idea on Pinterest (the pin is gone! :/)
