I was feeling pretty inspired today and decided to whip up a fun sorting activity freebie hopefully some of you can use in your classrooms to celebrate the season! I love pumpkins all fall long! They are a good symbol of the season that I don’t have to change in a month’s time. I usually […]
Character Day Ideas
Teacher Halloween costumes are usually either allowed per school policy or not. From asking my audience, I have found that the majority of schools still do allow costumes every fall. I looooooove fall. Even when it’s rainy like today and I’m under the blanket. And don’t even get me started on the candy. But – […]
Falling Into Classroom Management
I know you have probably seen those “you’ve been booed” signs around in different neighborhoods around town. They are fun and definitely festive! I actually don’t live in a neighborhood, but rather set way far back off a busy road. We have neighbors, but not really close by. And their kids are all grown […]
Spooktacular Jokes for Kids!

Exploring Pumpkins!
In the United States, it’s pumpkin season! I know that because every time I open up Pinterest, I find about 50 different pins about pumpkins. However, here in Morocco, where I live, there are no pumpkins sitting around – at least not pretty orange ones. We do have pumpkins that look like giant green squash […]
Seasonal Figurative Language Fun!
Isn’t funny how our teacher minds NEVER seem to shut off – even when we want them to? LOL! Well, today was a perfect example. I had to take my high schooler to Target to grab some spirit bag items as she has a band competition today, and of course if you are at Target, […]
A H-OWL-ING October!
Nothing earth-shattering to report today, but I did have these adorable Halloween costumed owls on my desktop and I knew I had to make something to share them – they are just too darn cute! So, I created some fun October calendar numbers! Use them for calendar time or any other working with numbers activities […]
