Last year I helped open a brand-new school. Blogging was not on my priority list. Opening a new school was the most amazing experience but I have never worked so hard in my life! In July we will be entering our second year and our team is growing with two new teachers. We will now have SIX first grade teachers! One of the hardest parts of leaving my past school was leaving my first grade team. They are an amazing group of women and we had so much fun! We all were very different teachers and we didn't agree on everything and that was okay because we respected and trusted each other enough to not cause conflict and drama. Our laughter in the lunchroom could be heard all the way down the hall and I still cherish the amazing relationships that we built. Hopefully you have also been blessed to work on a "fun" team. Fun teams happen when teachers feel connected with each other, there is respect, acceptance, communication and most importantly everyone is collaborating and working towards the same goal. I am meeting my team tonight for dinner and drinks and I wanted to give them a small gift to start the year in a fun way. My most borrowed teacher tool last year was my awesome staple-remover. We are provided with "The Claw" from our district and let's be real, it is garbage! I didn't spend $16 on a roll of Fadeless Paper to have it ruined by "The Claw". This staple remover is less than $4 and it's MAGNETIC! I bought each of my teammates one from Amazon and attached this little tag (because who doesn't love Ryan) and my team gifts are done and I know my team is going to be thrilled!

It's makes them feel like they are putting their best work on display and I always feel they put a little more effort into making it look great! Check it out!

It also comes with Handwriting Without Tears Lines! These include 82 pages and 10 Journal Covers! (PLEASE NOTE - ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE A LOT MORE CHOICES! UPDATE: I've had several requests for creating paper for the older students, so I made I'm So Fancy for Older Students. Enjoy! Linking up with Kelsea from Teacher Gems to share tips and tricks! Stikki-Clips are amazing! I punch a small hole with a hole puncher in posters, projects, etc. and then keep the stikki-clip on the wall attached UPSIDE DOWN. Therefore, I can change out posters in a quick and easy way. They also keep the project hanging much longer and takes less clips to hold a project! I LABEL EVERYTHING! From guided reading books, book bins, and math manipulatives, to toys, games, and supplies. It helps the children (and me) remember where everything goes. For younger children, I color code everything or include a picture so they can easily find where to put the items back. It helps to keep everything organized. You can grab these math labels here. Update: I've included more labels for you! Here are just some of the labels I made this year from my EDITABLE label collection- Update: I've been adding to the ultimate collection and it has over 180 labels with 20 different styles! The MAGIC CIRCLE TRICK on the smartboard. Want to erase everything super fast on the smart board? Take your eraser on the smartboard and create a big circle around everything you want to erase (don't lift the eraser up while doing so). Most importantly, the ending point has to touch the beginning point. Then, tap the center (or anywhere in the circle with the eraser) and poof! everything inside the circle will erase. If it doesn't work, it means you didn't connect the starting and ending point of the circle. Find some other amazing fall math ideas from other great teachers below at Math Madness Wednesdays!

We are already back in the swing of things and we love it. To follow up yesterday's theme of "First" we talked about "Second". On our second day of school we talked about the letter b, the number 2, and even Pennsylvania. Later on we read a fun book about what happens if we use too much glue. While reading Too Much Glue we worked on building story listening skills, as well as making basic prediction. Afterwards, we made ourselves the matching glue suit that the main character makes himself in the book! This activity helped build fine motor control, following directions, and making literary connections.
