Storage Solutions for the Classroom

May 9, 2017

Earlier this afternoon I posted this picture on Instagram…. I received a few messages after posting regaring the containers I used for organization, so I thought I’d take a minute to break it all down in case anyone else is curious, too! Storage containers, Sterilite drawers, and clear shoe organizers!!!  Affordable and efficient!!! I absolutely love the clear shoe organizer… Read More

2D & 3D Shapes

2D & 3D Shapes

January 19, 2017

It’s about that time of the year….for us anyway…to introduce & reinforce 2D & 3D shapes (concepts and ideas).  Does that hold true for you, too? Shape identification and geometrical language are always among my favorite concepts/skills to teach.  Hands-on and engaging and so many connections to the real world!  And for our kids, shapes are tangible.  They can feel… Read More

120 Chart – Moving Beyond the Number Line

120 Chart – Moving Beyond the Number Line

September 23, 2015

If you’re reading that title and thinking I’m crazy, let me explain. Both the number line and the 120 chart are important tools for our kids to use.  They are equally important and make wonderful resources for our kids to use when problem solving, counting, etc.  I think it’s extremely important to equip our kids with the tools necessary to… Read More
