  • I have four kids! That keep me busy all the time!
  • I've been married for like 1000 years (almost 19 really)
  • I love all things hot pink
  • Sweet tea is my weakness (well that and fries)
  • I need to lose about 20 pounds (thanks to above)
  • I love teaching 1st grade
  • I love making educational things even more than teaching!
  • I love to sew, crochet, paint, draw, anything crafty
  • I cannot just relax and not work on something

That's pretty much it.  I am not super exciting!  I created this blog in hopes of growing my "brand" we shall see where it takes us!  I hope you take the time to check out my products and don't forget my youtube channel where you can find fun videos with Shelia and Joe (insert weirdness here).

20 Small Group Center Ideas

SMALL GROUP...  My two most hated words my first 3 years of teaching... the sound of these words together made my stomach turn!  Everyone from coworkers to specialists had the ideas, but the countless hours I spent trying to make these "ideas" and this time engaging for the ENTIRE class was disgusting. I gave up many nights and weekends trying to find something that worked and kept the littles attention for longer than 2 minutes! I spent hours laminating and cutting - trying to make hands on activities that not only kept them engaged but was also growing those little brains!  Everything I tried just didn't seem to keep them at their desks working independently , so I could work with the kiddos at my small group table.  I was defeated. I felt like I was failing my students. I knew my low babies needed this time more than any part of the day, but I just couldn't find a way to make it successful. Fast forward out of my self pity to a Christmas craft fair in my hometown...
  I have been back in the mood to make clipart!  I've learned some new tricks from a colleague and man they are a game changer!  I love how these little cuties turned out!  I'm not sure which is my favorite, but the angel is up there pretty high!  Check them out at my tpt store!
