Hey, I’m Ashley

SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

Hey, teacher friend! I’m Ashley, a passionate Kindergarten teacher dedicated to creating an enriching and playful learning experience for our littlest learners.

Since beginning my teaching career in 2004, I’ve become a connoisseur of teacher pens and markers, as well as a master actress, turning ordinary moments and objects into extraordinary teaching experiences and tools.

To me, the best learning involves integrated activities and, of course, a cute craft with a purpose. I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!

So, whether we’re knee-deep in glitter or orchestrating a symphony of giggles during story time, let’s keep our little learners SHARP together!

Get ready to celebrate reading as you turn your cl Get ready to celebrate reading as you turn your classroom into a concert stage with this Rock Star Reading Tour! The perfect way to kick off March is Reading Month!

Here’s the gist…

Students are about to go on tour… but there’s a problem — the band gear is missing! Since the show must go on, students will complete five reading challenges (each focused on one of the Five Pillars of Reading) to earn each piece of band equipment. Once they collect all five, they unlock the final encore celebration!

Head to my stories for a closer look!

P.S. It’s 50% off today only!

In my opinion, teaching opinion writing is the mos In my opinion, teaching opinion writing is the most difficult genre of writing for our little learners to grasp... see what I did there 🤣?!

But, with the right mentor texts it doesn’t have to be.

“Red Is Best” and “The Day the Crayons Quit” are two of my favorite opinion writing mentor texts! I use both of these mentor texts over the course of two weeks, as we dive deep into opinion writing.

Head to my stories to take a peek at how I use each of these mentor texts to launch opinion writing, but first 👇

What’s your least favorite genre of writing to teach?

Here’s a simple President’s Day activity! All you Here’s a simple President’s Day activity! All you need is a penny! I also give my students a small tray to toss their penny in to, so that it doesn’t go rolling across the floor. 😊

This Presidential Penny Flip activity allows the students to record, graph and analyze data... plus, it’s highly engaging! It can also be used to help explore probability with older students.

Drop the word PENNY in the comments if you would like a direct link to this penny flip activity.

Inquiring minds want to know... do you get Presidents’ Day off from school?

Despite loving party days, I just want something s Despite loving party days, I just want something simple to pull together for our last classroom party.

Throwing a classroom party can be quite stressful, so I’m sharing my top 10 Valentine’s Day Party hacks to help make your party run smoothly!

I like to run five/six different stations during our Valentine’s Day Party. These are usually a mix of a craft, snack, games and cards.

Plus, I always like to have a whole group game available incase we have extra time. My favorite is Bingo!

It’s such an easy one for the students to play. Plus, it can be used to review a multitude of skills!

Here are a couple of last minute Valentine activit Here are a couple of last minute Valentine activities! ❤️💜 This “Heart Stack” challenge is always a hit!

At one of our Valentine’s Day party stations, I have the kiddos stack and graph how many candy hearts tall they can make a tower. We say this little chant…

Place each heart on the top!
Keep on stacking until they drop!

To make stacking the hearts a bit more challenging, have the students use one hand!

We also practice estimation, as well as area, by filling different sized hearts with candy hearts.

I like to have the students complete both of these activities at the same center, but you could also complete them separately, or even whole group.

Drop the word HEART in the comments if you’d like the direct link to these candy heart activities!
