Phew! It's in the books! My first day back in Kindergarten and let me tell you... I'm a little out of practice! I was all over it this morning....no criers.....(except a mom or two), we were on task and getting things done and then this afternoon I ran out of steam! We didn't exactly fall apart but it was hard to keep it together! It's a long day for littles that just are not accustomed to being at work all day long. (ME TOO!) So we talked about our jitters (read First Day Jitters) and that it's ok to be nervous...even for the teachers! I included this activity to express our feelings about our day: They colored the emotion they were feeling for the day and then drew a picture of themselves on the first day of school. I'm impressed already with the little artists I have in the room. AND.... I hung them all up on our WOW work wall and it was an easy peasy way to display work. I'm really happy with this addition to my room! It took me about 3 minutes to display 46 pages of work! I shared this earlier this summer but I will share it again just in case you are looking for a first day of school activity to go with First Day Jitters. Click on the picture to get it for free! So I hope you are feeling less than nervous about your first day back. I'm all ready to go back and give it another go tomorrow! What is your favorite activity for the first day of school? Or week? I might need some ideas by Friday!
You guys, I am so excited to share how my doors turned out. It's exactly what I envisioned in my head. I love it when that happens! The process was pretty simple too, which is another bonus. I think with the popularity of stencils these days most of you are pretty familiar with how to stencil with paint, right? I've even spent my fair share of time stenciling, but I wanted this to be different. I really wanted to maintain the linear look of the wood grain that continues across all the cabinets, and paint would just mess it up. I got the idea from deep in the storage banks of my brain. A couple of years ago I was watching Debbie Travis and they stenciled the phrase for hello in a different language with wood glue before the stain was applied. It left the wood in its natural color, but I loved how subtle it looked. So once I had my stencil I mixed up a little wood glue and water together and rolled it over my stencil. Just like you would stencil with paint you want to make sure your coverage is very thin and build it up from there. With the wood glue being pretty much clear it can be a little difficult to see where you have already stenciled. I just tilted the door so that the light would catch the glue to help me see. When you're happy with your stenciling and the glue has dried it is time to stain! I used an old cut up t-shirt to apply stain. Just dip in in the stain and spread it over the wood. Don't worry about where you stenciled, you can stain right over it. Once I finished staining the front I took another t-shirt rag that was dry and rubbed the surface to soak up any extra stain that was just sitting on top. This also helps clean up some of the stain off of the poofs. If you look at the last picture the are much darker than they are in this picture. I left the stain to dry for one day and then applied two coats of poly to finish. But before you poly you will want to sand down the rough edges from the wood glue. It shouldn't take much, I just used a fine grit sponge sander until it was smooth. If you want your finish extra smooth give it a light sanding between coats. Here that are, all back where they belong! I really love how the wood grain continues through the dandelion poofs. I'm even happy with the way the stain and glue edges kind of feathered together. And how they are all a little different thanks to some of the glue mixture seeping under the stencil. Here's the whole room! You might be sick of hearing this but, I love it! I lurve it so much. Now I just need to figure out what to do for the countertop. So, have you come up with an interesting way to use a stencil? Would you ever try this technique? If you do I would love to see it!

This bundle contains differentiated PDF templates for 4 different plant life cycles - pumpkin, apple tree, bean plant, and sunflower. Benefits of this activity Low prep Children learn about the life cycle in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet. Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding. Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing. Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity. Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children. Multiple template options For each plant, you'll find at least 3 options (e.g. students color, cut, and fold the template, or students sequence the life cycle stages before cutting and folding). The finished foldouts are ideal for interactive science notebooks or as part of a lap book. Use them to support life cycle, plants, or seasonal changes units, as a science center, or as a homework activity for parents to complete with their children. Please note, the templates are not editable. Instructions for students are provided including guidance on how to fold. Younger children may need extra support with cutting and folding. What teachers are saying: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This is an amazing resource. We used apples for September, and we are excited to use the others throughout the year. Easy to use with a couple of different options.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'My students absolutely loved making the pumpkin life cycle book! It was so engaging for them and they were all very proud of their work. They were able to recite the life cycle correctly after our lesson using these books.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Easy to prep and use with my students!
