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!
Looking to spice up your circle time with some engaging math activities? In this video, I’ll show you my favorite ways to incorporate counting, numeral recognition, 1-to-1 correspondence, and fact families—all while keeping it fun with clapping, jumping, and counting backward! This routine flows so seamlessly that your kids will be learning without even realizing it. They’ll just think we’re having a blast! If you want to make math exciting and playful in your classroom, you’re going to love these ideas!
In this video, we're diving into the reality of most early childhood curriculums—they’re often written by experts in university lab schools, but they don’t always work perfectly in real-world classrooms. While the intentions behind these programs are great, they can fall short when it comes to actual day-to-day teaching. As teachers, it’s our job to adapt and make the curriculum fit *our* students, not the other way around. Kids shouldn’t be bored, drilled, or left wandering aimlessly. I'll share how I keep the framework while filling in the gaps with what really works for my group and classroom setup. Let's make learning fun and meaningful!
In this video, I’ll show you how to think outside the box as a preschool teacher and transform your classroom centers by seeing them from a child’s perspective. Kids love things that are different, silly, big, and fun, so why not bring that into your centers? By adding a little creativity and child-centered thinking, you can turn even the most "boring" center into one that every kid is excited to visit! I’ll share some fun ideas that have worked wonders in my classroom—getting the kids out of their chairs, moving, jumping, crawling, and more. By shifting how we approach activities, we can engage even the most hesitant children. Ready to think like a 3-5-year-old? Let’s make learning fun! You got this!

Discover why working together with your aides, admin, and parents is key to making school a positive experience for everyone.

As teachers, we’re often so focused on taking care of our students that we forget to take care of ourselves. In this video, I’m talking about why prioritizing your mental and physical health is crucial—not just for you, but for everyone around you. I’ll share my own experience of not taking care of myself, which led to getting five other teachers sick and even caused our school to close for a day due to lack of staff. This experience taught me that taking care of yourself truly means taking care of those around you and showing respect for your co-workers and the families who trust you with their children. I’ll also discuss why it’s important to set boundaries with parents about not accepting sick kids into your classroom for the sake of everyone’s health. Remember, if you take care of yourself first, you’re often taking care of others at the same time. Let’s make this year one where we prioritize our well-being so we can be our best selves for our students! #TeacherWellness #SelfCareForTeachers #HealthyClassroom #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #TeachingTips #RespectYourCoWorkers
