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!

When I’m having trouble keeping up with the miss When I’m having trouble keeping up with the missing papers, I use these! I have a system for graded assignments, but I still want to hold my students accountable for the other work that they’re doing.

So I made a class list to put on sticky notes and stick to the assignments I’m collecting so that I can keep track of who has turned things in and who hasn’t!  I also use them for collecting forms for the office, permission slips, etc. Another way to use them is if a student is absent and misses a lot of work, create a checklist for them and stick it on their desk! Then they’ll have a reminder of what is missing and you can see their progress just by looking at their desk.

Want the editable sticky note template? Comment CLASS LIST and I’ll dm you the link! 🍎 You can also grab it from the link in my bio ⬆️

Levels of understanding 💚💛🧡🩷 Not only Levels of understanding 💚💛🧡🩷

Not only does this give you some insight into your students’ progress but it helps them with the skill of self-reflection AND it is a reminder to put their name on their paper!

I put these markers next to the bin where my students turn in their papers. When they turn something in, they choose the color that describes them and ‘highlight’ their name with it!

This has been a great look into my students’ self-awareness and also how comfortable they feel with various skills we’re working on. Win-win!

Grab these posters for FREE in my TpT store! Link is in my bio 🤍

Have you used levels of understanding in your classroom? ⬇️
