I think I might invest in a GoPro camera I can constantly wear every day in kindergarten. Yes, of course, it would be stylish. 😉 But besides that, it’s the only way I could catch all of the brilliantly creative things my kids say about their desk pets. However, until that purchase is made, these […]
Can Easter eggs free printables really turn kindergarten chaos into some classroom calm? You betcha. Do your kids have spring fever? Yep. Mine too. And, to be fair…I think I may have it worse than my kindergarteners! During this last stretch of the year, I like to pump up the volume on some unexpected fun […]
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 […]
Ahhh…springtime for kindergarten. Such a WONDERFUL time of the year! This is the point in the year where all of the hard work starts to show up and show out – much like all the blooms I’m seeing outside. Now, the plants are getting ahead of themselves with the wacky weather we’ve had. But the […]
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. Every year we love to make an ornament together to give to their parents as a keepsake. For my kids who don’t celebrate Christmas and don’t prefer an ornament, we will rework it into a […]
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.) It’s hard for them to start FULL school days, which rip away […]
When you think about five-year-olds, your mind likely conjures up an image of a magical little creature who loves legos, playgrounds, Spiderman, Elsa – and FUN. You probably didn’t think of five-year-olds laughing and dancing and begging to do some phonics in kindergarten, right? Well…I’m here to tell you that phonics is fun. Wait – […]
