Show and Tell Tuesday: March 2016

Hey everyone! Today I am excite to be participating again in a monthly linky hosted by Forever in 5th Grade called Show and Tell Tuesday. Every first Tuesday of the month, you can link up to show off up to 4 awesome things going in in your classroom, at home, or where ever. Show off and share a little bit about anything and everything!
I had the pleasure this weekend of getting together with some wonderful Teacher Bloggers/TpT-ers from around the state of Washington. The meet up was hosted by Kristin and Lindsey of 2 Literacy Teachers and Joya of Live Love Serve Teach. It was so inspiring to get to actually meet in person some Teacher Authors I have looked up to since beginning my TpT adventure as well as meeting a few new faces. It was really wonderful to hear everyone sharing tips, advice, and encouragement with each other.

In addition to the wonderful educators I met, I also got lucky and won a gift certificate to Tieks (squeal!!). I have gone back and forth deciding whether to splurge for a pair of Tieks and I guess I finally got my sign to go for it! 
Do you have a pair? Which color is your favorite?


I am pretty proud of my Dr. Seuss themed display outside my classroom. Our Cat in The Cats turned out so adorable.


Can you guess that book character??
Life as a kindergarten teacher can get pretty crazy sometimes and I absolutely love the days when I get to embrace the crazy, silly fun. We don't do a book character day for our entire school but I love the idea so much that I joined out first grade team this year in the dress up fun. There isn't anything much better than wearing a pink tutu and pink colored hair to work just to make 20 little faces light up with joy!

Does your classroom have a class pet? This chunky little fella taking a dip in his water is a PacMan Frog. He lives in the kindergarten classroom across the hall from me but I've been baby foggy sitting him for a while now and got the offer to adopt him next year. I would love any classroom pet management tips or ideas you're willing to share!

  2. Oh you lucky bum to be with Joya and the two from 2 Literacy Teachers. I follow them. I was at another retreat this weekend that I'll post about later in the week- also fun. And do keep posting about the frog... an easy classroom pet, that doesn't bite or sleep all day, would be a joy to find :) See you around. Kathleen

    1. Oh my goodness, Tieks have been on my wishlist for so long. I have heard and read so many teachers praising them for being so comfortable and adorable. They are a bit more than I would usually spend on a shoe but with the gift certificate, I can justify it. :) I will likely be posting about them once I get my pair (if I can make up my mind about the colors!!)
