A-Z of Teacher Me

I am linking up with The Polished Teacher for her A-Z of Teacher Me linky party.

A: App - Pinterest...I am addicted and love using it on my phone just as much as on the computer.

B: Book Character - Clifford. There is a book for every occasion and my kinders always love them.

C: Clip Art - KPM Doodles & Scrappin Doodles

D: Dollar Spot Find - I love everything I find in the Dollar Spot but my most recent purchase that I love is the heart dice to play Valentine games with my kinders. (It is a good thing the closest Target is an hour away!)

E: Essential To Start Day - A shower...I have to have one every morning to get my day started off right.

F: Font - Smiley Monster has been my favorite lately.

G: Game - I love Sudoku!

H: Holiday - Christmas...I have always loved Christmas and the older I get the more I look forward to it. It is such a happy time of year. 

I: Ice Cream - Strawberry Cheesecake - This was my childhood favorite and I still love it although it can be difficult to find.

J: Jewelry Piece - My watch and wedding set - I am lost without them!

K: Kid-ism - "I need some hanitizer..."

L: Location To Travel - The Smokey Mountains of North Carolina & Tennessee...I love visiting and it is close enough to drive in a matter of hours. 

M: Management Technique - clip chart - This is my first year using one and it is working well in my classroom. The kids love that they can move up and work harder to get their clothespins back to positive colors.

N: Nail Polish - I am usually a Watermelon pink girl or french manicure.

O: Open House Idea - I always take a picture of my students the first day of school and then have them make a frame for their parents for open house.

P: Pinterest Find - Using a paint chip as a tens frames...genius!!
