Creating a little space for kids to practice writing and sending notes and letters

A space to write

July 25, 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments

I decided it was time for a space to write. The littlest ones of mine have been busy lately sending secret messages via post-it notes, cards, and scrap paper (or paper deemed ‘scrap’ by them).

Storytelling Social Stories

January 28, 2016 by Sarah 14 Comments

I have quite taken to this idea of storytelling. I have done it at home with my own little ones for quite some time, but since September I have bravely taken it outside my home and into the Kindergarten classroom. Storytelling captivates little ones like nothing else (Well, Quiet Bins are a very close second)….

The Art of Reading Aloud to kids

December 28, 2015 by Sarah 15 Comments

When I started teaching Kindergarten I was given this book called (affiliate links for your convenience) Reading Magic by Mem Fox.
