I love digital resources, and I will definitely be

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!

I just want to see cute dogs and kids in my feed instead of all the political comments about schools and teachers. 🐾❤️ Here’s mine!

How will you be welcoming your students back this

How will you be welcoming your students back this year - in person or online? My district has approved plans for both scenarios, but the decision as to how we will be returning may not be made for a few weeks.

I have chosen the online option for my own daughters, and we have pulled our son from daycare. Now, it’s just a waiting game to find out what Mommy will be doing!
