However, until that purchase is made, these […]

My name is Kaci. Kaci SHANNON Bolls. (Actually, Kaci SHANNON Bolls Scott if you’re really getting technical.) During the month of March, however, you may call me: Kaci O’ Shannon. In my warped mind, I become one of the fringe background characters in every one of these 13 Lucky St. Patrick’s Day read-alouds I’ve picked […]

I have always had a leprechaun visit to my kindergarten classroom. My kids consider it the luck o’ the Irish! A few years ago, I had a savage and deadly idea to keep the manky hallions and sleevens away from our classroom and instead attract a grand gas of a lad. We got jammy! Stall […]

Awww, the month of LOVE. Valentine’s Day is my mother’s favorite holiday, so it naturally holds a special place in my heart too! I have a new single out called Giving It Away (if you haven’t heard it yet – WHY are you waiting??), and I thought it would be fitting to create some Valentine’s […]

Teaching responsibility for students might seem like a task that’s too big to tackle – especially if they are in kindergarten. I mean, isn’t it just SO much easier and quicker to do things FOR them? Eh…in some cases, sure. However, teaching responsibility to five-year-olds is not only important for their development, but it can […]

Since becoming a kindergarten teacher, I’ve searched for fun, easy DIY Christmas ornaments that I can make with my kids.

Teaching responsibility to five-year-olds can sometimes feel like a daunting task. It’s hard to explain to a new kindergartener WHY they are in charge of carrying their backpack, getting out their folder, and zipping up their own pants. (Yes. This is a thing.)
