Kindergarten lunch choice chart

I've been meaning to do this post for like forever! But of course, time got away from me. I totally agree with this statement! Like most OCD teachers, I feel so much better if my classroom is neat, organized, clutter-free, and of course cute. I mean, as teachers we definitely spend more waking hours in our classroom than we do at home. So it might as well look and feel the way you want.

I am soooo excited to share what I have been working on for the last several days! I just posted this product on TpT for $3.50! The pictures can either go above the caddies or on the front like this next picture. I used large paperclips to hold the pictures on the front of the caddies.

However, it was just recently that I decided to create a packet with…

I am finally back in my classroom! This means I actually have Monday Made it's for you! :) I am so excited because this is a new school so I get to start over FRESHHHH!

In order to see what I have at a glance, I created these Task Card Organizing Labels. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how bright they are…

Happy Wednesday to you my friends! Today I'm talking about morning routines. Like it or not, back-to-school is just around the corner- some of my friends are already back in session this week! I start to get that back-to-school jones around the first week of August. There really is nothing like a new year, a clean and organized classroom and a fresh group of kiddos who have no routines in place!
