New Blog Redesign is Finished! I am so excited to finally announce that I have finished my blog redesign! I wanted to make the blog a little brighter and a little more fun! Now I am hoping that I will be a better blogger! I am so excited that we are on summer break! I am going to really miss my kiddos, although by that last week of school, we were all ready for a break! I spent the next several days tearing down my room, and it just looks SO empty! It was a great way to prepare for sandal season! It is a...

Kinder Tribe Linky Party: All About This Kinder Teacher. I am SO excited to participate in this linky party from my friends at Kinder Tribe. If you are a kindergarten teacher that is still looking for your tribe, please visit our blog and Facebook page! Normally, I would go through and explain each part, but I am currently in Charleston, SC (YAY), and my husband is waiting patiently for me to finish so that we can go to the aquarium! I will explain these a little further when I get back to Tennessee!

The Letter "U" Underwear Writing/A Fun Way to Review Sight Words. It has been a great last few weeks! The sun was really shining last week, and temperatures are finally staying in the upper 60's and low 70's.

This week it has been really rainy in East Tennessee, but hopefully, it will wash some of the pollen out of the air. Some of my kiddos have had some AWFUL allergies. It was so much fun to watch the...
