Teacher Pajama Party and Game Night

 Pizza.....games......laughing.....drawing on easels...... cupcakes......pajamas....no makeup... so much fun for teachers!  We had a blast on our pajama party night! I thought it would be fun to get all the teachers together just for fun and laughs, so I hosted a game night.  We wore our pjs, ate pizza, and played games.  I don't think I've laughed so hard in a loooonnnnggg time! We played Ellen's version of headbands! SO FUNNY!!!

Here is a free file of the pajama party banner incase you want to throw a teacher party!

Wearing the Alphabet

Working with our PreK and Kinder classes, we wanted something they could use all day long to master letter sounds and take home.  I created these fun letter necklaces!  They are a kick! My 4 year old can't get enough of making and wearing them.  Our kiddos at school look so cute walking down the hall dressed in the weeks latest letter necklace. My favorite thing about them, is that they are a conversation starter for anyone who walks down the hall.  Our principal can chat with them about what they are wearing and how it works.

In order to meet each learner at their point of need, the necklaces have 2 versions. One contains just the picture with letter and the other includes the traceable word that begins with that letter sound. Click to view product

Don't Break the Ice.... Alphabet Style

So Tyler and I were having a lazy kind of morning..... drinking coffee, cleaning, and playing games.  We've been working on letter sounds so he's ready for PreK4 in the fall. We decided to add letters to each ice block in the game don't break the ice. As each player hits their letter out, they have to say the sound of the letter until the block drops! Not sure who had more fun playing this game.  This would also be the perfect game to put in word work during stations in PreK4 and kinder.
