Hello!!! It is that time of year again! The time I love to walk through Wal-Mart, and Target and see all the fresh new school supplies! I've always loved buying school supplies, so I guess it is only fitting I became a teacher! Yesterday I bought myself some NEON Ticonderoga pencils at Target! They are so fun and only $2.00 for ten! Miss Amy will have some very special teacher pencils this year! (By the way, Ticonderoga pencils are the BEST out there. They are more pricey, but I promise they are more durable than any other brand. And I should know, after all I teach kindergarten. They can be pretty destructive!)
Anyway, also in exciting news, I've finally opened my very own Teacher Pay Teacher store. I'm starting off small. My first thing to offer this week is a series of Math activities that are perfect for individual work, whole group work, or even center activities, all around a Back-to-School theme! It is great to fill in those days before curriculum starts (which we all know can be a headache to try to plan), as a supplement to curriculum, and especially for new teachers to begin to create center activities! Here are some sample pictures of the activities:
