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!

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!
