So much has happened in the past year and a half.  Some days I can't even wrap my head around the changes that my students and I have gone through.  I am not joking when I say I have literally changed the way I have taught seven times since March, 2020.  Yes, seven times.  While that is a lot for me as a teacher, I can only think of my students who have had to change their way of learning so many times.  My students who I was teaching in March 2020 are now in Third Grade.  I think of all the things that I didn't get to do with these students t...

The beginning of a new year is always a great time to start new things or go back to things that you have stopped doing that you enjoy.  Getting back to things I enjoy includes getting back to Teaching Is Sweet. In it's beginnings, Teaching Is Sweet was a place that I shared all the goings on in my Kindergarten classroom.  Things have changed a bit.  I am now currently a First Grade teacher in a new district in a new state.  I hope you join me as I share tips, tricks, and educational resources that will help you make your teaching sweet! ...

It's been a crazy year, and I can't believe that it's been 178 school days since I last wrote anything here on my blog!  I hope you have enjoyed your school year as much as I have! Today, I am going to share with you how important the first ten minutes of the day are in my Kindergarten classroom.  Whenever this routine is changed for some reason (hello meetings), it throws off our day just a little. To give you a little idea of our morning schedule, the bell for the students to come into the classroom is at 9:00.  Our student council ha...

Well, today was the day.  The first day of Kindergarten!  I just thought I would quickly share with you about my Meet the Teacher day and the first day of school. I went back to work last Wednesday for teacher work days.  We had meetings on Wednesday.  Then on Thursday my awesome principal gave us the whole day to work in our classrooms! {Plus, my bestie and I went out for lunch.  We can't ever do that during the school year!}  On Friday, we had a couple more meetings and some more time to get ready for Meet the Teacher. Meet the Teacher O...

I am linking up with Farley for some Currently fun! Listening:  My son loves watching videos about Minecraft and other video games on Youtube. I'm not exactly sure which game this video is about, but I always try to keep an ear out just in case he ends up on one that uses "not so nice language." ;) Loving:  At the end of the school year, I accumulated many bags of Swedish fish (my current fav) from my students.  Unfortunately for me, I didn't quite spread them out as much as I should have and gained a little weight.  Once I stepped on...

Hi everyone!  I cannot believe that it's the last day of July!  Where did July go?  My last post here on my little piece of the web was my June Throwback! Crazy! July was definitely a busy month here.  I attended the I Teach K conference and the Teachers Pay Teachers conference the first full week of July.  I learned so much!  Both conferences were amazing!  Then I have been subbing this summer.  My son attended ESY at my school site, so I offered to help out if any teachers had to be absent.  Today was the last day of ESY, and I subbed for ...

Hi!  I'm back for another edition of What's On Your Bulletin Board Linky!  This month, I figured since most of us are out of school we could share some throwback bulletin boards from either earlier this year or from years past.  If, by any chance, you have bulletin boards from this month due to being year round or getting out late in June, please share those! This first throwback bulletin board is truly throwback!  It's from about 14 years ago when I taught in Kansas.  It's so old that I had to actually scan the picture in. lol  When I t...
