Friendship Books for Kids, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade

Friendship Books for Kids

Learning how to be a friend and how to make friends are important skills for kids. I love collecting friendship books because you can use them all year long, use them during a Friendship unit, or to teach acceptance and differences. They are great to use at the beginning of the year when we learn about each other and at the end of the year to celebrate the special friendships we built throughout the year. Here are 23 Friendship books for … [Read more...]

Counting Coins Activities and Centers

I personally believe the key way to teach coin identification and counting coins is by a lot of exposure throughout the entire school year. Many times the standard is taught once during the school year, we move on to the next standard, and students don't see coins again until the next school year. The activities below can all be used throughout the year since they do not have a monthly theme. This unit hits so many skills that it can be used in … [Read more...]

Groovy Retro Classroom Decor

I cannot get over how cute this new groovy retro classroom decor! It is my absolute favorite for many reasons. Reason one, it's primary colors (with a few pastels) so it matches perfectly with all those primary color items that are already in the classroom. The last time I made any type of classroom decor was in 2015 when I changed my entire theme to farmhouse! You can see that here. Alright, let's take a look at all things Radiant … [Read more...]
