My daughter is SO excited to share these wand Valentines with her friends this year! She is all things fancy, princess, and ballerina, so these are perfect for her. I love how they aren’t full of sugar and I am all about non-candy Valentines this year (and every year really).

A few months ago, I challenged my first graders to read 100 books! My students all had different reactions to this challenge… Most got really excited and started right way. Some thought it was absolutely impossible. (It’s hard enough to count to 100… let alone read 100 books!) However, no matter
February is a great time to develop friendship skills and build unity in the classroom. Last year I gave my students glow sticks on Valentine’s Day and they loved it. (And I loved it, because glow sticks don’t contain any sugar and I found them at the dollar store… BONUS!) You can download
You know that cute lady, Cara, from The First Grade Parade? (Ahh, who am I kiddin’!? Of course you do!!!) Well… she recently posted about a super cute writing poster called, “What Do Writers Write?” After seeing it on her blog (and all over Pinterest) I immediately made one for my class.
My students have been struggling with story problems lately. So I decided to make some math charts for addition and subtraction key words. I got the idea from Jodi at Fun in First (she has really great ideas… if you haven’t checked out her blog, you NEED to). These are the key
