Introducing Comic Book Theme Classroom Management Materials!

I am excited to be introducing a new theme for my classroom management and organizational products: Comic Book Theme! While I think this could be fun for any teacher, I especially thought of the men out there. Guys, there is just not enough stuff out there for you, especially when it comes to classroom themes.

Currently I have teacher supply labels, printable name plates, and a classroom birthday calendar listed, with more products in the works. If there's something specific you'd like to see, leave me a comment or send me an e-mail and let me know!

S'more Fun with Number Recognition

I know as we're right in the thick of summer, schoolwork is often the last thing on our minds! We're thinking about barbecues, and pool parties, and vacations, and summer treats like s'mores.

I wanted to share this fun activity with you to keep your kiddos' minds sharp during the summer break, or to prepare for your school kiddos as they return next month--eek, that's coming up fast!
I thought this would be such a cute idea, and once again, the talented Nicole at JolieDesigns created the beautiful clip art to help make my thoughts a reality.

This activity makes a fun and simple math station, and works on number recognition in 4 forms: numeral, written word, tally marks, and ten-frames. Kids find the four pieces that go together (two graham cracker pieces, one chocolate, and one marshmallow) to complete their s'mores. This could also be used as a file folder game, or in small groups as a Go Fish style game. I would love to hear how you use it in your classroom!
