Quickie Questions: Back to School Edition

It's that time of the week for a Quickie Question, where I ask y'all a simple question to get to know y'all in the comments! 

Airport Dramatic Play: Making the Airplane!

Our Vacation Bible School theme this year was The Incredible Race. I was the leader of the 3-4 year olds, so I decided to turn our room into one giant airport. The first thing I did was make a giant airplane prop for them to play in and especially to take photos in. It took me about a whole day to make, but it was totally, absolutely worth it!  It was about 11 feet long and about 5 feet high.

A (Not so Great) Day in the Life of a Room Mom

I walked around the room, which was unusually quiet for once, although quiet for the second day that week as the whole class had spent most of the day two days ago taking their required reading comprehension tests. I looked at the 4 kiddos in the classroom computer area, each with their headphones on, eyes glued to their math test on the laptop screens. Back at the teacher's table were two other kids, both doing their best to take their test, with their teacher looking over their shoulder, helping them in whatever little, non-interfering ways she could.

Ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week takes place (at least in the US) during the first full week of May. I am a HUGE FAN of teachers, especially my kids' teachers. Here's what we're doing for our teachers this year for Teacher Appreciation Week.

Games & Toys for Kids Learning How To Spell

Spelling is a vital part of a child's education, and generally, kiddos start learning to spell somewhere in the preschool/pre-k/kindergarten age (unless you're Froot Loop, who started spelling his first words at age 2...). I've found a bunch of fun toys and games that can help young kids learn to spell (which also helps them on their reading journey!) 

Personalized Sticky Notes! Expect to see my house COVERED in these before long...

Sticky notes are fun. They're also super handy. My husband absolutely detests them, but I like to have them around to help me remember things. I keep a lot of my life on my phone and my computer, but often times, if I don't see the reminder right in front of me, I'll totally forget about it! That's why I bought some of these Custom Sticky Notes.
