Paper trails could seriously wipe out our sanity completely. From the back and forth home paper trail to the desk monster hoarder... Having papers all over the place drives us bonkers!

Teacher Week Day 4: Work Life Sanity Savers
Teacher Week Day 3: Classroom Tour!
Our teaching philosophy is that education should be a positive experience which empowers children to feel successful and have good feelings about themselves and others, while taking responsibility for their own choices and actions.

Ocean Themed Classroom & First Day of School Freebie
We posted this picture of our fish themed first day of school activity on our Instagram page the other day and had a lot of requests to share! One of our favorite first day of school activities to welcome our new school of fish into our ocean themed classroom is to create these O-FISH-Al Welcome Back Bands. It gives our first graders a little down time during their long first day back to school, and it gives us a quick first day assessment to see how their coloring and cutting skills are from ...
