How to Video: Creating Glitter Text!

Hey there!  So I've been receiving a lot of questions in regards to the glitter text I use for my quotes on my Instagram account.  I decide to take the leap and make a short tutorial on creating your own glitter text in PowerPoint.  You can check out my how to video below!

PowerPoint is my go to for everything!  The more you play around with it the more cool things you can learn to do.  The possibilities are endless!

You can use this video to help you create your own glitter text, or you can use the same techniques to fill your fonts with any image of your choice!  Check out some of my quotes here!  Don't forget to follow me for more how to videos, craft ideas, and simple cute ideas for your classroom! Subscribe to my NEW YouTube channel and be the first to know about my future how to videos and craft videos. 

Let me know your thoughts! 

Happy Creating! :)

Mother's Day Craft!

With Mother's Day literally right around the corner, who isn't looking for an adorable, simple, no-prep, fun, and easy Craft for their students?!  This Mother's Day Craft is a simple print & go activity that your students will love.  Print the product directly onto construction paper (all pages are labeled with the color needed), let your students cut out the patterns, complete the booklet, and then assemble it!  Seriously...it CAN'T get any easier!  Watch this video to see just how easy this product really is. :) 

Easy to follow directions are included.  Check out how cute my student's completed crafts are! :) They were so excited to do them and cannot wait until they can bring them home to the special women in their lives!  Included in this product is also a template for Grandma and Aunt.  

Hope your students enjoy my product!  Wishing all the lovely Mother's out there a wonderful and Happy Mother's Day next week! <3 

Holiday Giveaways!!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving!  I enjoyed spending time with my family and, of course, the overeating, LOL.  Thanksgiving is by far my most favorite cheat day!  I justify all of the eating with the excuse of it providing me with energy for my black Friday shopping.  Between you and me, I don't go black Friday shopping, unless it's online and for that I do not need extra energy, lol.  So, yeah.  The next best thing about Thanksgiving (after the food, of course) are the deals.  I was able to get the majority of my Christmas shopping done this weekend, so I'm thankful for that.  Anything else that I need, I'll buy on cyber Monday!  I'm excited about TPT's cyber Monday sale and already filled my cart with some great products I plan on purchasing!!  This year I've decided to start a new tradition and am holding a HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY which I am very excited about!!

I am giving away a $10 TPT gift card AND a resource (of the winner's choosing) from my TPT store (value of up to $10)!!! Just in time for the TPT cyber sale!

To enter just follow my TPT store and my FACEBOOK page, then COMMENT on my facebook post with your FOLLOWER NUMBER and the link to the resource you would like! (You may pick any ONE valued up to $10!)

Don’t forget to tag your teacher friends and to share this post for more chances to win!

The drawing will be held on Sunday 11/26 at 9:00 p.m. I will announce the winner shortly after the drawing. GOOD LUCK!

Spooky Minions!!

Hi!  Hope everyone is enjoying their fall!  I know I've had one too many Pumpkin Spice lattes already ( kinda sick of them, lol...but now I'm looking forward to my Peppermint Mocha lattes!).  Can't live without those seasonal treats. :D

A big part of Fall for any elementary student (and teacher) is Halloween.  I know my little Kinders have been talking about their costumes since last week.  They are so excited and love anything to do with Halloween.  Their anticipation gave me an idea for our October Bulletin board.  Since, my St. Patrick's Day minions craft was such a hit with my last year's class, I decide to create Halloween Minions!

These were so much fun to make! We made a Mummy, Cat, Pirate, and Witch.  My students loved them and were so proud of their Minions! We hung them up on our bulletin and used the saying "Kindergarten is Spooktacular!". Click here to see the product in my store!  I've included all pattern pieces for you and your students to make the Minion Mummy, Cat, Witch, and Pirate.  All pattern pieces are hand drawn.

A list of supplies, writing pieces (including primary lined paper for us Kinders :D), and bulletin board ideas and sayings, are all included as well!

Seriously, what kid doesn't love Minions! :D  If you download my product and love it just as much as we do, please let me know!  I would love to see your student's Minions.  :)  Happy Halloween y'all!

March Madness!!

So, it's officially March, yet somehow it is still snowing outside and I have been home all day due to yet another snow day!  What is going on with this weather?!  I feel as though I've been counting down to long sunny days for months now!  Ugh, I need this winter to be officially over!  Don't you agree?

Having the day off today wasn't all that bad however.  I did get to finish up on some products and grade some tests, so I really can't complain.  In preparation for St. Patrick's Day, I have just uploaded my new color by sight word products to both my Teachers Notebook and Teachers Pay Teachers shops.  I am extremely happy to say that I have been having much success with my Color by Sight Word products! I'm so glad so many teachers are purchasing and utilizing my products in their own classroom!  :)

I use my Color by Sight Word Products as morning work, during the announcements, and also for my early finishers!  I can't get over how quickly my students finish their work at this point in the year.  These worksheets are very handy to have for that reason.  All children love to color, so why not challenge them to color by sight word!  Plus, it's a lot of fun!  :)

Below, you will see my St. Patty's Day themed Color by Sight Words.  There are three products, Color by Sight Words using Pre-Primer Sight Words, Color by Sight Words using Primer Sight Words, and the Color by Sight Words Bundle which combines both of the previous mentioned products.  Please feel free to check them out by clicking on the images or going directly to my stores!
