I’m playing school age teacher for the rest of the summer. Our school age teacher quit. So, I moved up front and I’m trying to get some semblance of control in that room. The first thing I talked to them about was not wanting rules, but rather guidelines. And that I thought one of the…
I recently finished the summer bulletin board in my classroom. As usual, the babies painted. My theme was summer. The saying I chose was “Summer Is Flip Flopping Fun”. I did things you’d find during summertime, including flip flops with the babies’ footprints on them. I found this neat foil cardstock at the craft store…
