2018, Off to a Great Start!


Happy New Year!  With the start of the new year – setting new year’s resolutions comes with the territory!  Getting kindergarten children to understand what New Years is all about is a challenge! But it’s also difficult to get them to understand the concept of a resolution AND setting goals for a new year. Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution written by Pat Miller is a very simple story that explains the concept. This fictional story does a very good job explaining how setting goals is for the better of an individual!  If you are more into nonfiction then check out my New Year’s Fact Booklet that describes New Year’s Day into simply language that a young child can read and understand.  AND- to add some fun – why not add a digital timer to your New Year’s Day centers!   I hope you enjoy these products!

Happy New Year, 2017!

Happy New Year, friends!  
I’ve always talked about 2017 the year that I would more than likely retire and now  IT’S HERE!!!!
Have you made your New Year’s resolutions? I’ve given up making them since they last about a month or so…  Of course, I always want to be a better  person and make healthy changes but I decided a few years ago if I can adopt a mantra and live by it – then I’m more successful in achieving it and living by it! I just want to have a healthy and happy year filled with more laughter and more memories than I can count and more down time!  What about you?




This year’s Mantra?
