Testing Encourage-'mints'

Hey yall!

 

Well, this is the week.

The week of our BIG test.

The week we have been dreading preparing for all year.

 

I won't get into how I personally feel about this type of testing...I'll just simply say that I want my students to do their best.

 

To help give them a little boost of confidence each day before we test, I created these little testing encouragements. There are a ton of different types of testing printables out there, so these are certainly not unique. Just my spin on them :)

Wish us luck, friends!!!



End of the Year Freebies

Hey yall! Happy hump day!

 

As the year is quickly coming to a close (12 days!!!!), I wanted to share some freebies that will help with those end-of-the-year gifts. These are all gifts I've given in the past few years and they all have one thing in common....cheap!

 

Let's start with students.

 

My class sizes have been pretty consistently large each year, so I'm always trying to find something that won't break the bank. This year I've got 25 kiddos, so cheap is the goal!

 

My first year teaching, my teamies and stayed up all night baking our kiddos cookies. Seriously...we had a slumber party and baked like 75 giant flower cookies. It was most definitely a labor of love.

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the tags were super simple...but they got the message across! Lucky for you, I've made some cute new ones :) Get those here.

 

 

 

My second year of teaching, I upped the ante a little. Another slumber party ensued (are you noticing a pattern, here??) with my best teaching buddy and we made these adorable tile frames.

 

 

 

Again, another labor of love.

 

Last year, I *sniff, sniff* didn't have my best buddy anymore, so I was all alone during my gift-making stage. I decided EASY was the way to go.

 

I ran up to the dollar tree to get inspired and ended up finding some cool tie dye sunglasses. I snagged them up (thankfully, there was enough!) and whipped up a simple tag. Grab those here.

 

Boom. Student gifts.....done!

 

 

 

These were a HUGE hit people! Look at those cool kids!

I'm *almost* positive this is what I'm doing for my class this year.

 

Now...let's move on to parent/room mom gifts.

 

My first couple of years teaching, I was beyond blessed to have amazing parental support.

I mean, seriously....they spoiled me.

 

I didn't realize how spoiled I had gotten until I started teaching at my current school, where parental involvement is almost non-existent.

 

So, I wanted to do something special for my room moms (yes, plural...I had 3 one year and 4 the next!).

 

The first year I made these yummy fortune cookies and threw in a Starbucks gift card.

 

 

 

 

The tag was simple at the time, but I have since revamped it and added it here.

 

The second year, I was also thinking food :)

That was the year all the mason jar gifts were getting big, so I came up with these.

 

 

 

Strawberry pudding shortcake....pure yumminess!

You can snag those tags here.

 

That year, I also made these little treats (a Pinterest find) for the rest of my parents.

 

 

Those tags can be found here.

 

Alright yall, I'm off to do some serious TPT shopping. There's only a few hours left in the sale!

 

 



We {heart} Teachers.....SALE!

Hey yall! Happy Sunday!

 

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.

 

Honestly, I don't expect to even receive one ounce of appreciation from my students, parents, or administration. In fact, I would be willing to bet that those words are not even mentioned this week at all.

 

Which is really sad, yall.

 

Everyone wants to feel appreciated, right? And I'm no different.

 

However, I do appreciate all of you wonderful teachers!

 

And that's why on May 6-7, I'm putting everything in my store 20% off.

TPT is getting in on the action, too! Just use the promo code TPTXO at checkout to receive an additional 10% off.

Now is the time to stock up to get you through the rest of the year.

Five for Friday...a day late!

Hey yall!

 

I missed my favorite linky party yesterday, so I'm jumping on board today!

 

Here are 5 random things from my week:

 

1. Last weekend, I flew to Nashville for a bachelorette weekend. I had found some amazingly cheap flights and soon found out why! The plane was tiny...as in 8 passenger tiny! It was a little scary riding in such a small plane, but the views were absolutely amazing!

 

 

2. Once we got to Nashville, we spent the whole weekend celebrating the beautiful bride! Although we didn't get much sight-seeing done, we did make it over to see the iconic Bluebird Cafe!

 

 

3. We had our end of the year party on Thursday. We set up a grill and some canopies and had a good ol'fashioned cookout! We also put on some tunes and had a dance party! I tell you what...those kids can dance!

 

 

4. After the party, we came in and I gave out our class awards. The smiles on their faces were priceless! These awesome awards came from Georgia Grown Kinders.

 

 

5. Friday was the last day of school for the kiddos! I had purchased some super cute tie dye sunglasses for my kiddos at Dollar Tree, so I passed those out when we went outside for recess. They loved their new shades!

 

 

Now, I'm off to enjoy the rest of this glorious 3 day weekend! After that, we've got 2 days of post-planning, then its officially summer, baby!
