Vroom Vroom

If you live in the state of Indiana - you know MAY means the Indy 500! As a Hoosier, I felt like I should honor the "greatest spectacle in racing" with a clipart set!

 5 drivers (male & female), 10 race cars, state of Indiana (7 colors), and MoRe!

 And, of course, I created a FREE mini version.

One of my best friends married an IndyCar driver in March. Needless to say, it was a FUN wedding. And now I have even MORE reason to watch the race!

The Earth is TEE-Rific!

How was your Earth Day? My kiddos got SO into it! And I loved their enthusiasm. I hope I'm making a difference in the way they think about our Earth…and more importantly, how they view their job - to help do their part!

We used some of my resources and some FREEBIES from TPT. My students did a great job brainstorming ideas about how we can "LOVE" the Earth! Compost pile!?!? Impressive!

I used THIS FREEBIE from Phyllis Sprangel on TPT and my students had a blast designing their own t-shirts! I attached a picture of their faces and we have them hanging in the hallway. Needless to say, we have had LOTS of compliments from teachers and students. (it may also be the silly faces some of my kiddos made). :)

Today I talked to my students about how things we recycle can be reused to create new things. That's a hard thing for 5/6 year olds to grasp. BUT - I brought along one of my son's favorite toys. It is made by a company called Green Toys. Have you heard of them? I'm obsessed! All of their products are made from recycled milk jugs, right here in the USA! They are amazing.

(I do not get paid to discuss my LOVE for Green Toys. I'm just a mom who appreciates one company's efforts to create great products and be Earth Friendly)

Earth Day and a FREEBIE

I worked hard this weekend to create some Earth Day Clipart! It's available in my store - HERE. Then I decided to write a book! It's FREE! Teacher Confession: My life-long goal is to be a published author. Baby steps. :)

 There is also a packet of activities to use with it - available for $2 in my Store!

How will you be celebrating Earth Day? Any good ideas to share?

Carried Away

Last week, my students got carried away with some Kites. I pulled out the watercolors - and everyone got pretty excited. We used white crayons to "decorate" our kites and then painted them with watercolors.

They turned out ADORABLE! And I was pretty excited to show them off in the hallway along with the class' acrostic SPRING poems.

I purchased THIS unit from Ladybug in Kindergarten and it was fun to incorporate her unit into my classroom, as well. Plus - she bought her kite clipart from me! BONUS!

Let's Fly a Kite

Confession: I don't really enjoy flying kites.

There I said it. It's not that they're not fun…in general…they're just not fun for me. My kite always manages to get tangled, stuck in a tree, or can't seem to find the wind to lift it. Let's face it - I'm a failure at flying kites.

But that little fact didn't stop me from creating some kite clipart! Check it out in one of my store(s)!
