Teachers Pay Teachers!

I got to try out a November Kindergarten-aged bundle from Teachers Pay Teachers and wanted to share this resource with all of you! I'm always looking for fun preK and K educational resources and stumbled upon teachers pay teachers a while back. They offer digital downloads on a per item basis of learning worksheets, classroom resources, and much more. If you're a a teacher looking for resources, a mom looking for something new to pull out when doing learning at home, or a teacher looking to make some extra cash it might be perfect for you.

For Nolan we used the November bundle to supplement what he is already doing at VPK and to give us a little more structure at home. It's never forced on him but if he's looking for something to do in the evening I'll offer a fun worksheet from it. Her are a few excerpts of our package (obviously only small portions shown to protect the integrity of the downloads).

You can see ahead of time ratings, excerpts, and more statistics on any item you're purchasing. Top rated contributors are noted and popular items easily available. The search category makes it really easy to supplement any given theme or lesson plan too. If you're looking for easy, searchable, grassroots teaching resources check out Teachers Pay Teachers!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Back to School

Our TotSchool started this week. If you remember, we did this last year and blogged about it a few times. Basically we follow a preschool curriculum at home (this year it's a program a few of us in the group wrote) and meet once a week together for a group class and then every other week or so for a fun field trip event too.

Nolan was so excited to go to school yesterday. As we were driving there and I told him we were going to the park first, he told me over and over again that no he would rather go to school first. He kept asking for his backpack and to ride on a bus. Poor kiddo needs to visit his grandma so he can explore a school bus! Let's hope this enthusiasm continues once he actually gets to school.

This week we are focusing on the letter M, color red, shape circle, and the overall theme of All About Me. Nolan started using scissors and is obsessed with them. He asks to do "cut, cut" constantly. Lots of fun crafts, art projects, and stories being read! Here are a few pictures from our fun today.

"Hmm...which circle should I pick next?"
