Little ones count and clip colorful “feathers” onto their turkeys, matching the feathers to numbers on each turkey’s belly. It’s a hands-on way to boost their math skills and strengthen those tiny muscles needed for fine motor tasks!

In today’s video, I’m opening up about a difficult challenge that many teachers face but few talk about: how one student's severe behavior issues can disrupt an entire preschool classroom. This isn't just about one child's behavior—it's about how these challenges can impact other students, teaching dynamics, and the emotional well-being of everyone involved. I’ll share my experience navigating this situation, the struggles of keeping a positive and safe learning environment, and why sometimes the best thing a teacher can do is to admit they’re out of their depth and ask for help. If you’re a teacher, parent, or caregiver, and you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into the realities of seeking support, finding solutions, and reminding ourselves that even the best teachers can’t do it alone.
Introducing the 'Cozy Cabin' Dramatic Play Set—perfect for transforming your preschool classroom into a cozy getaway for the season!

This easy-to-set-up kit is full of fun visuals and printables that make your dramatic play area inviting and interactive for preschoolers. It’s a great fit for the next three months, bringing seasonal charm and literacy-rich print to your classroom setup. Let’s take a look at everything inside!

Halloween is a blast, but let's face it, the excitement leaves preschoolers a little more wild than usual! Join me as I do a classroom reset to bring calm and structure back to our space. I’ll walk you through my process of creating a calmer physical environment by taking down Halloween decorations and getting back to basics. I’ll also share how I review procedures, reinforce classroom management, and gently re-establish the rules and routines that may have loosened during the busy season. With a few reminders and consistent expectations, we'll get our classroom back on track and ready to thrive!
Get a behind-the-scenes look at my messy but effective process for planning a fun-filled Halloween week in my preschool and Pre-K classrooms! In this video, I’ll walk you through all the activities we’ll be doing, from circle time lessons on letter sounds, letters, and numbers, to daily math, science, and literacy activities with a spooky twist! I'll also show you the Halloween-themed books I'm reading, my latest bulletin board ideas, and how I've set up the classroom centers for some festive, hands-on fun. Watch as I plan, prep, and create a week full of engaging, playful learning for my little ones!
A lot is expected...for so little!
Are you struggling with hitting in your preschool classroom or at home? In this video, we’ll explore five effective steps to address this behavior and help children develop better impulse control and self-regulation. 1. Observe: Learn what triggers the hitting. Notice any patterns to time of day, hunger, overstimulation etc. Understand the importance of observing the situation before reacting. 2. Name the Emotion: Discover how to recognize and reflect back the child's feelings. (avoid "I" statements) 3. State Expectations: Understand how to communicate acceptable behavior and your classroom expectations clearly. 4. Preteach & Model: See how modeling and teaching desired behaviors on an ongoing basis can make a difference. 5. Offer Choices & Consequences: Find out how to give children choices while outlining consequences in a calm, constructive manner. As a teacher, parent, or caregiver, it’s essential to remain calm and collected. Remember, children don’t hit to annoy or upset us; it’s a sign of their own struggles. With patience and these foundational steps, you can guide them toward developing impulse control and following instructions. Join me in building a nurturing environment where every child can thrive!
Get ready for a fun-filled Pumpkin Week! In this video, I’ll walk you through the exciting centers and activities I’ve set up to bring the magic of fall into our preschool classroom. From a Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch dramatic play area to a pumpkin-themed alphabet wall, there’s so much for your kiddos to explore. We’ll dive into sensory play with a pumpkin sensory bin, decorate the room with festive pumpkins and posters, and enjoy math, literacy, and science centers that keep learning hands-on and engaging. It’s going to be an amazing week full of pumpkin fun—come along and get inspired!
Preschool teaching can feel overwhelming at times, but collaboration can make all the difference! In this video, I’ll show you how working together with your fellow teachers can lighten your workload, boost creativity, and create a positive, thriving environment for both kids and staff. Learn practical tips on sharing resources, planning together, and supporting each other in ways that enhance the preschool experience. Discover how teamwork can change the culture of your preschool into a place where kids and teachers truly thrive! Let’s build a stronger, more joyful classroom community!
In this video, I’m sharing how I turned a frustrating day around by stepping out of my teacher box and seeing things from the eyes of a 3-year-old. Instead of expecting my students to meet my expectations, I realized what they truly needed in that moment. By meeting them where they were behaviorally, our entire day shifted for the better! If you’re struggling with behavior in your classroom, this approach could make a huge difference for you too. Watch to learn how to make it work for your students!
