Hi, I’m Libby!

I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Libby, and I love all things first grade – the curriculum, the content, and the sweet kiddos. I’m passionate about helping K-2 teachers save time in the classroom with fresh ideas and fun, effective resources. My spouse is in the military, so I’ve learned to be very adaptable while moving from school to school. We are currently stationed in Birmingham, Alabama with our two pups and a baby on the way! When I’m not creating or spending time with loved ones, you can find me online shopping or learning about the science of reading.

If you’re looking for hands-on, engaging activities for the primary classroom, you’re in the right place! Take a peek around, grab some freebies, and explore ideas on the blog. I can’t wait to connect with you, teacher friend!

How do you manage student supplies? On the blog I’m sharing some ideas for supply management! I included things I did with both my 1st graders and 4th graders, so hopefully you’ll walk away with some ideas no matter what grade you teach!

week 32/52: the week we went from a family of 3 to week 32/52: the week we went from a family of 3 to 5!

We spent most of this week at the hospital before coming home to our toddler. We are so fortunate to have my parents here all week to help out because going from 1 to 3 kids has been an adjustment!

Here are some snaps from our big week:
• newborn cuddles for both mom and dad
• prepping for surgery and waiting to meet our twins!
• one last photo before we walk into labor & delivery
• proud dad holding both babies 🩷🩵
• sweet flowers for our room
• hospital breakfast dates 
• the best morning view
• introducing our toddler to his new siblings 🥹

Here’s to leaning into the craziness of twin & toddler life 🤪

One fantastic way to kick off the school year is t One fantastic way to kick off the school year is to do a unit about names! It helps students learn each others’ names, making any new students feel more comfortable. It also makes students feel important and see the value in their own name.

You can read all about how I use these activities on my blog! You might also find a free name activity 😉

week 31/52: our last week as a family of three 🤍

Very soon our firstborn won’t be an only child any more! Our twins will make us a family of five and while we are so excited to meet them, it’s sad to know the time with just the 3 of us is coming to an end.

Parenthood is hard!! 🥹😭

🌟 HOW TO PRINT ON STICKY NOTES 🌟 This is on 🌟 HOW TO PRINT ON STICKY NOTES 🌟

This is one of my favorite ways to keep track of missing paperwork, office forms, assignments, etc that I don’t need to add to my grade book. I’ve been asked to show how to do it with pictures instead of video, so save this post for later!

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Create your design in 3x3 squares and print it

2️⃣ Stick your sticky notes on top of each design

3️⃣ Feed your sticky note page back into the printer ***this may take some trial and error; I always do a test run by making a mark on a page and feeding it through again to see which way it will print

4️⃣ Print your design again

Ta da! You now have printed sticky notes 🌟

Let me de-influence you!! 😂 you’re not behind Let me de-influence you!! 😂 you’re not behind if you don’t have a nursery set up and ready for baby!

These babies are our 2nd & 3rd kiddos, so we know this time around that having a nursery ready isn’t a must because the babies will sleep in our room for a while. So we’ll continue use our third bedroom as a guest room/office until the twins are ready to move out of our bedroom and into their own space!

Whether it’s your first kid or your fourth, it’s okay if you don’t have a nursery set up for when baby (or in our case, babies!!) arrives!

As much as I’d love to have a second nursery set up for the twins already, we just don’t have the space right now. We’ll have family in town to help us, so it makes more sense to keep this room as a guest room for them to stay in! Maybe one day we’ll be in a house that has more space!

Did you set up a second nursery?? ⬇️
