Kindness Activity for Kids Compli-Mats
Teaching our primary students about compliments is highly important in our classroom. Of course it's always easier to point out what we don't like...But, we have found we have to purposefully teach our first graders how to see the good in one another by pointing out what they do like.

Habitats of the World Bundle…Plus, A Habitat Book Cover Freebie
We celebrated the 100th Day of School last Friday. In our teacher minds this really means only 1 thing... Only 80 days until summer!!! to teach our largest science study of the school year! This has slowly become our favorite part of the school year, but the idea of teaching 5 habitats was definitely enough to make us feel seasick a few years ago when our District moved this curriculum to first grade. But, not anymore! We've got our passports ready and our itineraries set. Our class is ... VIEW POST
