Summer Time Apps for iPad

I have found a few good apps to help your child spelling, counting and making books over the summer!

Rocket Speller this app is great for learning to spell and figuring out which letter comes first-middle-last. This app has different levels of difficulty

Chicktionary this spelling app allows them to make as many words as they can with a given set of letters

Wings this math app helps them to recognize groups of numbers and "fly" to the side with more. Bonus-have them shout it out as they fly through "8 is greater than 5"! 

Find the Words who doesn't love a good word search challenge. Great for kids of all ages ;)

Scribble Press this app allows them to create their very own book with fun illustrations and words! 

Great parent (and teacher) blog post

"But adversity is a part of life, and only by facing it can our children build life-coping skills they'll need down the road." 

As the years go pass and I interact and get to know parents...the more I see these things happen. I found this to be a great read as an educator as well. It's a little lengthy but well worth the read!

10 Common Mistakes Parents Make (Me Included)

K1 through the year

I have so many candid shots throughout our year together. Oh how I have LOVED watching them grow.  Enjoy!

Kindergarten 08-09

This was one of the best mornings of my teaching career. I got the chance to spend 30 blissful minutes with my first Kinder class since moving schools. This is the class I had the pleasure to watch grow over the past 6 years. Wow how they have changed BUT still so much the same as they were as Kindergarteners! This will always be one of the absolute most special group of children. We were all new to this school and learned so much along side each other. Love them completely!
