This week we started our unit on space and we’ve been having SO.MUCH.FUN learning all about the Sun, the Earth, and the moon! Can I just tell you how impressed I am by how much information my kiddos have learned in just a few short day… It just goes to prove that when kids are engaged, learning takes place To begin our unit, I decided to tackle one of the biggest MISCONCEPTIONS I noticed my class was having…. Many of the kids believed that the Sun travels around, the Earth. Can you blame them? I mean every morning on my drive to school I see the Sun rising in the sky. I can totally understand why they think this. They “see” the Sun moving in the sky every day. So logic tells you, it’s the one traveling… Right, not quite! To help my kiddos explore this idea a little further, I decided to have them create their very own models. (Feel free to download your own copy here.) They started off by coloring pictures of the Sun, Earth, and moon. While doing this, we talked about the obvious size differences between each. The kids were shocked to […]

I remember when I first started as a teacher... But the one thing I struggled the most with was getting cheap teacher clothes. Those outfits add up super fast.. Especially if you are starting a wardrobe from scratch! And be prepared.. Because you are very likely to end up with a lot of ruined clothes.

Happy December, Y'all! This is Chandra from Teaching with Crayons and Curls! This year my firsties have LOVED LOVED LOVED spending the day with a stuffed animal. Our class uses a classroom economy similar to this one from True Life I'm a Teacher and they use their money to purchase coupons. The 'Furry Friend' (spending a day with a stuffed animal) coupon is one of their favorites, so I knew I had to use this to my advantage! Meet our class Behavior Buddies- Listening Lion, Happy Hippo and Positive Pig! Aren't they adorable!? Students earn these Behavior Buddies when they are showing positive behavior! I usually choose one student per day to spend the day with each stuffed animal. Usually, they are chosen at the end of the day and they get to spend the next school day with that Behavior Buddy. The furry friend stays with them throughout the day in OUR classroom. They don't go to recess, specials, or lunch. Just makes things a little easier (and cleaner!). We've been using them for a few weeks now, and my students have started nominating each other to spend the day with a Behavior Buddy! I mean, how adorable and KIND is that!? It all started with one sweet little firstie saying, "Mrs. Dills, I think Sarah should get Listening Lion because she has been such a great listener today!" Yep, I made a HUGE deal about that! When students earn a Behavior Buddy for showing positive behavior, I also want to make sure that this is communicated to their families! So, I created certificates that the student can bring home to show their family! It's a great way to build that positive school-to-home relationship! I ordered all of my furry friends off Amazon. But, you can grab stuffed animals anywhere! Wal-Mart, Target, and the Dollar Store. There are many different animal options in my pack! Since it's so close to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to introduce holiday themed Behavior Buddies. You can grab this pack for FREE in my Teachers Pay Teachers store! Just click here or on the image below! I hope these cute little friends help promote positive behavior in YOUR classroom!
When talking about us all having a purpose, I couldn’t help but think of the Bible passage about us being one part of the whole body of Christ.

This is a one line style where I draw everything without lifting the pen. This is based on the story of when Peter is walking on the water toward Jesus Christ and starts to doubt his faith. By doing so, starts to sink. Jesus reaches forth His hands, and saves him. We learn a valuable lesson from Peter that day. This is a PDF download. Once the item is purchased, you will be able to download the PDF form of the picture. It is formatted to be 8.5x11in, however, if you have photoshop, or if you go to a print shop, they will be able to enlarge it or shrink it because of the PDF formatting that it is in. Thank you for purchasing from my shop!

Welcome to Naples, Italy! Or as the Italians would say… Benvenuti a Napoli! Most notably known as the birthplace of pizza, Naples is a bustling city located in the Campania region of southern Italy. While it is only the 3rd largest city in Italy, it is the most densely populated, making it an overwhelming experience for those expecting a peaceful, romantic welcome to the city. Don’t get me wrong, Naples does have a romance to it, but that’s not the first word that comes to mind when I think of N

I have created easy to use worksheets for primary students to start researching! Included in this file are pages for students to get researching different jobs/careers/community helpers. There is not a specific book list for the informational part of this packet. I checked out a bunch from my school library-which are pretty dated, but still useful. I have also included a few extra reading response worksheets for story books: Officer Buckle and Gloria, Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10, Doctor De Soto and Hey, Al! My focus for the week was personal connections, so I have pages designed for students to write their personal connections to each of those books, as well as a blank one to use for your own book. There are also 4 different activities for Proper Nouns and a brief page explaining how I'll use the activities for the 5 days. And, I also included the Essential Question Posters to match the skills addressed in this packet. They are aligned to the first grade CCSSs. Check out my blog for other ideas and freebies too!
