Prepping all things math that can be used in the classroom or sent home for distance learning...

Whether you are beginning the year in person or online, remember that our youngest learners need hands-on paper and pencil activities that build those oh so important fine motor skills! I’ve said it before - digital products are great. Yet, swiping left should never replace learning proper pencil grip and how to write letters and numbers.

Distance learning doesn’t mean that you have to switch to all digital activities! The good news is that we have the opportunity to prepare this time around! You can print out packets or make binders with activities and do them along with your kids in your online sessions.

I have created bundles for math and writing activities that include print and go activities to use with your students throughout the entire year. Visit my TPT Store for these and more distance learning resources.

However you are returning, I wish you the best year. Stay healthy and safe! ❤️

Let’s face it – distance learning isn’t exactly a walk in the park for teachers or parents.

The good news is that there are e-learning tools available to make it a bit more manageable this time around. @vooks is one of those tools that is full of distance learning resources including animated story books and even lesson plans with printable worksheets. #ad It has been a total game changer for me as both a teacher and a mom!

In my latest blog post, I’m sharing how you can utilize this amazing resource in your classroom, for remote instruction, or with your own children at home.

Right now, @vooks is offering a FREE YEAR for educators! See the link in my bio to sign up. Not a teacher, no problem. Parents get the first month free! Head to my stories to learn more!

I love digital resources, and I will definitely be using some this school year. However, as a kindergarten teacher, I am worried about digital replacing pencil and paper activities and the negative effects that will result from that.

Swiping left and dragging and dropping cannot be substituted for teaching a proper pencil grip. Our youngest learners need to work on fine motor development and build the hand strength necessary for writing tasks.

The good news is that we have time to prepare resources this time around! If my district decides on a remote start, I plan to print and prep packets to be sent home. Then, we can complete the pages together on our Google Meets.

Remember, Distance Learning does not have to be all digital - especially for our little ones!

Here are some of the resources I plan to have ready to go. I also have math and writing distance learning bundles that could be printed and placed into binders or folders.

I love watching them grow, and I miss them being little at the same time. I’m so lucky to have these girls call me Mom. Soaking in the last 16 days of summer with the kids before I start back. ☀️ 🏖

Self-care Saturday...Exercise has always been my stress reliever. I miss taking classes at the gym so much, but I don’t feel safe going right now. Daily walks are helping me manage the teacher anxiety that I know so many of you are feeling too. What are you doing to take care of yourself during this stressful time?

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you may

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you may know that I am passionate about developing fine motor skills in kindergarten. Two years ago, I ditched the traditional morning work worksheet and replaced that time with 15 minutes of fine motor activities.

I am so excited to guest blog for @hand2mindinc to share more about how we begin our day using their hands-on products that integrate fine motor with literacy or math activities. My children are learning by doing!

If you have thought about changing up morning work, this blog post is for you. Link in my story highlights!
