*Cue "Fancy" song*I'm so thriftyYou already knowI'm at the yard salesEvery Friday and SaturdayI'm back! It's been 2 months since I've blogged... TWO MONTHS! Yikes. You know that song by Scorpions, "Rock You Like a Hurricane?" Well, if you don't, the refrain goes, "Here I am.. Rock you like a hurricane!" -- That's what the end of the school year said to me-- Here I am & I'm going to rock you like a hurricane! I was in a swirling vortex of never-ending paperwork and IEP meetings... ... read more
Earth Day Recycle Sort Small Groups Activity
Happy Earth Day! I just wanted to share with you a super quick, no-prep activity I've been doing for Earth Day this week!As I've mentioned in previous posts, I am one of the small group stations the prek kids rotate through in each classroom. Each rotation lasts about 6-7 minutes, and this activity is perfect for that length of time. Side note: The pictures are from my office area, but I used the activity in the classrooms!I grabbed these FREE Earth Day Recycle Sorting Mats on TpT and ... read more
Going “Buggy” In Speech!
Ah, Spring has finally arrived in Kansas and in the speech room! The next couple weeks in preschool have a theme of "Things that live and grow" so we're learning about plants and bugs. This week in particular, I'm focusing on ladybugs! This morning, I grabbed some red bulletin board paper from the workroom, my Jenga box, and a Sharpie, and went to town tracing circles & creating an activity for my articulation/phonological kids! It only took about 10 minutes from start to finish... But ... read more
Stop Sign Craftivity
I love to do simple crafts in speech with my articulation kids, because it's an easy way for parents to know what sounds we are focusing on for that week so they can reinforce at home! The kids love getting to come back to the classroom and show off what they made to their teacher and friends, too!For transportation week, I came up with a super simple craft that takes virtually no prep time: Speech Stop Signs!Literally- all you have to do is cut an octagon out of red construction paper and ... read more
All Aboard! Train Activities for Transportation Week!!
Below is the very first post I wrote last Spring when I thought I wanted to start blogging, but never actually ended up publishing it (I wasn't in love with the original name for the blog that I came up with).

Pleeeeaaasssee??”It’s Transportation Week in PreK, and thanks to Goodwill, Jenna @ ... read more
Dr. Seuss Describing!
Last November, I attempted a DIY Hedbanz game with different types of dinosaurs to describe. I used it with the afternoon prek kids in each classroom for my small group rotation, and they loved it. They needed a bit of prompting to figure out how to describe each dinosaur, but in general, it went pretty well. So, I decided to try it out again this week with Dr. Seuss characters!I just did a Google search for Dr. Seuss characters and pasted them into a PowerPoint slide. I ... read more
Green Eggs & Ham craftivity
Last week during our jungle/wild animal theme, I attempted a hippopotamus craft that ended up being a Pinterest fail-- thankfully, a new craftivity I have planned for Dr. Seuss week turned out much more successful! :) I love, love, love the book, Green Eggs And Ham. I've done craftivities for Cat In The Hat and One Fish, Two Fish, but haven't done one for Green Eggs and Ham yet! Third year's a charm, right? :)Just cut out a pan from black construction paper, and cut out some cooked ... read more

Community Helpers Day 2: Firefighters
A second occupation we focused on during Community Helpers Week was firefighters. I think it's safe to say most little boys think firefighters/firetrucks are the coolest, so my kids especially loved these activities!First up, we read Clifford the Firehouse Dog and worked on answering WH questions!With my artic kids, we played my Tic Tac Trucks game. We used the Chipper Chat tokens to cover the pictures & the "magic wand" to pick them up. Some of the older kids got the ... read more
Community Helpers Day 1: Dentists!
This week in preschool is Community Helpers Week. I love this week because there is SO much great vocabulary to be learned between all the community helpers and their tools of the trade!One of the community helpers/occupations we've talked about is dentists, which ties in perfectly with February being Dental Health Month, too! We read a cute Dora story called "Show Me Your Smile! A Visit To the Dentist" that was perfect for targeting basic dentist-related vocabulary and simple WH ... read more
