Did you do for parent gifts from your students? *Minor Freak Out!!*

So as my first year teaching Kindergarten, I have done my best not to drop the ball on lots of the fun and creative things that make each year special. However, my students making gifts for their parents has truly been something that was about to get dropped. I have not been able to come up with something that I thought would be quick, easy, and fun for my students but also special for the mommies and daddies of my sweet pumpkins. BUT I just found this post (literally like 3 minutes ago) from Kindergarten Crayons. Look at these adorable gifts:



So, I tried to save it to my computer in order to crop so it's just the frames but it didn't work :( But at least you can still see the adorable frames!! I have tons of popsicle sticks and will be doing these this week. If you want the step by step directions click here.

Luckily, the photos to be added to them... I took on Friday! My students were so cute in their jammies :) We have a Christmas tree up in the Media Center as well as two fireplace displays on bulletin boards. At the end of the day, we went down and I took their pictures in front of both. I think that I might even have them decorate two... one for each picture. But first we have to decorate 75 tress... that's another post :)

Please leave a comment telling us what great gifts you are doing this year!

Have a blessed day,

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I am already in the mood for Christmas! Hard to believe right ;) ? It's true though. The kids and I went to Target this morning to get a few last minute things for Halloween costumes on Monday. Then we strolled through the entire toy department, aisle by aisle, and picked out the things that we might just ask Santa for. While the pumpkins are taking their naps, I'm searching for other Christmas ideas and making a list while I watch Home Alone :) Yep, I'm totally ready!

I just thought that some of you might be in the same frame of mind as me and would enjoy what I've found so far!



It is an awesome list that definitely gave me several ideas other than candy! The only thing that I would add to the list is the awesome McDonald's or Zaxby's dollars that they do around the holidays. I know a friend of ours ' son loves to get AMC or Carmike bucks as well.

I also found this adorable craft the other day. I am definitely doing these in the coming weeks!



Gotta love pinterest right? I also found these great ideas:


There have been a ton of lists being pinned too! I could spend forever looking at the amazing ideas on the lists and on Pinterest! What have you been looking at lately?

Have a blessed day,

It's beginning to look a lot like....

I've been doing a ton of looking around at Christmas ideas galore and I just wanted to share some of the amazing ideas that I have found!

Adorable Christmas outfits for my littlest pumpkin (definitely check out this entire etsy shop!!)



This is another fabulous Etsy shop. I've also seen lots of tutorials for these adorable bows on the web. I might try my hand at a Christmas shirt like this too!

Has anyone else found any adorable ideas for this holiday season?

Have a blessed day,
