Kindergarten is Grrreat!: Luv Chicken Seats - Flexible Seating Option
Ideas, lessons, products, crafts, and more for the kindergarten classroom!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Walking in to my classroom, you will find few children sitting in chairs and many children sitting in multiple other places - yoga balls, wobble stools, all over the floor, and more. I LOVE flexible seating and feel like my kids really do their best when they pick the place that they can work best.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!

So your kindergarten child will be doing virtual school this year....now what?| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
I set up an entire Investigation Day for my kinders to celebrate all we had learned so far! I wanted to have a fun filled learning day for them where they could really apply all of the letter knowledge that they gained during the first month of school.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Last summer I wrote a blog post after learning about Flipgrid for the first time. My post contained lots of ideas of ways to incorporate Flipgrid into the kindergarten classroom. I spent the year learning more about Flipgrid and exploring the best uses for my kinder students. I am excited to share with you things that I have learned and discovered after Flipgrid-ing for a year!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
I am guilty. I was that first year teacher who spent SO much on my classroom year one. I poured (and still continue to) my heart and wallet into my classroom. However, there were definitely things I bought that I didn't need and tips that would have saved me so much money in the long run. | Kindergarten is Grrreat!

I was recently asked to give a speech at our 5th Grade Moving Up Ceremony. Our school invites an alumni to come back to speak each year to the students who are moving on to middle school. I was honored to be asked to speak to the students at my school as a former student of DDE & current teacher at DDE!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
I was browsing through social media a few months back and saw someone who made Bitmoji stickers to use in the classroom. It was the most brilliant idea. Everyone loves Bitmojis and my kinders love stickers so I knew this would be the perfect combination.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!

As a teacher, I love dressing up in costumes for school. One of my favorite costumes to rock in my kindergarten room is my Ms. Frizzle dress! This costume is perfect for a book character day, Halloween, Read Across America week, an author study, or any fun science themed day. | Kindergarten is Grrreat!

I am super excited to have 3 new tech items for my kindergarten classroom this year. I received all three items this summer and had plenty of time to "play" with them before bringing them into my classroom. Below you will find out the 3 items that will transform my classroom this year and how I plan on using them!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Flexible Seating is a phrase that has been buzzing around the education world for quite some time now. I LOVE seeing so many teachers getting their toes wet with this. It has been a game-changer in my classroom over the past two years and I want to help you get started! Here is my advice for starting flexible seating off at the beginning of the year!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Me: "What is your favorite thing about school?"| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
I love the first few weeks of school. The students always seem so well behaved, eager to learn, and are soaking in everything! My favorite thing to do during the first week of school is to read LOTS of books. These are a few books that I consider must-reads for the first week of school!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
I love summertime. It gives me time to relax and learn about new tools for the classroom. This summer I learned about Flipgrid. Flipgrid is this really awesome platform where you create video grids around a question or a topic. It then can be shared with your students, colleagues, PLN, etc. Those people upload video responses. You can then respond to responses and so on. It is GREAT!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Don't you love Pinterest? I remember seeing a teacher who let her students design her dress and I knew I had to do that for my End of Year Celebration.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
Ahh, summer vacation! It is supposed to be relaxing and refreshing for teachers, right?!| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
My "non-teacher friends" are always commenting on some of my elaborate outfits that I have worn to school or my collection of onesie pajamas that continues to grow. They say "teachers do the craziest things". I like to think there is some sort of method to my madness.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!

If you are anything like me, you have been ooh-ing and aah-ing over Seesaw for the past year. I have loved how the app has allowed my students to take charge of their learning and really show their thinking in unique ways. It has been eye-opening for many parents and I couldn't pick a better app to use with my Kinders.| Kindergarten is Grrreat!
