Keep your little ones active and out of trouble this summer!



I'm proud to link up with 4th Grade Frolics for Made it Monday. 

 
 

I've been spending lots of time with my almost 2 year old. We completed lots of projects. Including painting, sticker decorating, learning our numbers (she knows 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,and 9), and learning our shapes (she can proudly identify square, triangle, hexagon, triangle, and rectangle).

One fun little project of I made for my sweet pea was PB play dough. Fun and yummy! Does it get any better? Nope!

To make it, use the 3 ingredients shown above (yes only 3! Yay) .
Mix together:
1/2c PB
1/2c Powdered Sugar
1/4c Honey


So there is this article floating around about the negative effects of Behavior Clip Charts.  It made me very upset when I read it. Why? Because I'm guilty of using a clip chart. Basically, the article explains the importance of keeping the kiddos' behavior corrections private. I've come up with a solution for this problem!

Introducing.....the Mini Behavior Clip Chart. The chart gets taped to each kiddos' desk. Their "clip" (a star) gets moved when you privately tell them to do so. It is color coded, so you can include the sacred colored check mark for the parents to look at each day. I think this is a win win! Grab your copy {here}.

 Need a great book to kick off a great school year? The Juice Box Bully is quickly becoming a classroom favorite. I've created some really fun ELA activities and craftivity to go along with this wonderful story. The product debuts on Tuesday, but you can win it on Monday. Just click the link and leave your name and email. It is that simple! I'll pick a winner Monday night. Good luck!

  6. I read that blog post too about the behavior clips charts and haven't processed it fully yet to decide what direction I should go in next year! I like your idea though!

    And yummy to the play dough! I have a 10 month old right now, but can see that recipe being something we incorporate when he's older! Thanks!
