Classroom Makeover

Classroom Makeover

Best decision E-V-E-R! If you are thinking about switching up your classroom I would say go for it. But, we told you we would be honest in our Blog and so we want you to know it's going to take lots of time, lots of help and lots of money.…
Be Prepared: CarGO Kit

Be Prepared: CarGO Kit

If you have been in Janelle's presence for more than 5 minutes you have heard her utter the phrase, "I have that/those/one in my car." The girl has everything in her car and it amazes me. It's like Mary Poppins's carpet bag. I have told her repeatedly that she should…
Ode to My Label Maker

Ode to My Label Maker

I have three label makers. The first one was a necessity because I had things that needed labeling. Duh. The second one was a frivolous purchase because I am a scrapbooker and it did a great elevated white print on black labels. It's beautiful really. And perfect for so many…
Help! Missing Elf!

Help! Missing Elf!

Yep, Janelle has purchased three elves for her family all because she keeps forgetting where they are hidden after Christmas. We laughed about it thinking it was just her until another friend said she had done the same thing. She was wracking her brain to figure out a solution to…
Clear Toothpaste!

Clear Toothpaste!

Yes, everyone... they DO make a toothpaste that your kids can use and that won't make you angry every time you walk into your kids' bathroom.  Now, why they don't promote this toothpaste to moms is beyond me but I came across it accidentally as my kids and I were…

Labeling in your room

Labeling in your room

With a whole new room comes new labels.   Check out how I put these labels on my new, functional containers.  I started by labeling the containers with classroom materials and my materials.  I was able to find pink and green labels (orange... not so much) - oah and let me…
Moon Sand

Moon Sand

The other day I got a shipment (like I do often) of some new wooded boxes with moon sand (there are a lot of different versions but essentially it's all the same - well pretty much).  I really wanted green and decided to go with orange as well because you…
Look for classroom supplies at second hand shops

Look for classroom supplies at second hand shops

Often, I find myself stopping at the nearest Walmart or Meijer that is open at 6am on my way to school that carries the supply that I need for a special game or activity I decide to do for the day while laying in bed the night before or taking…
Our Village

Our Village

Our village learns together. We run our households together. We teach our children together. We become better people together. Who is in YOUR village? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Take a moment and think about it. Really think about it. In your personal life... Your professional life... It…
Where did “Takes a Village Teaching” come from?

Where did “Takes a Village Teaching” come from?

Janelle and I have been working hard to make this vision come together and honestly, it would not be possible without our “Village.” Yes, we are part of each others’ Village and we share some of the people in our Villages but we also have our own people in our…

  • Tired of asking your kids to give the person in the bathroom a little privacy? Give them a place to stand while waiting their turn!!
  • Hot day with no clip or pony holder? Smart teachers use what’s on hand! Binder clips are good for more than holding papers!!
