HUGE FREEBIE!!!!

Life is so crazy right now. I am truly missing fourth grade and don't really know how I'm going to be able to finish out the rest of this year in prek. Don't get me wrong, I am so thankful for my job and being given the opportunity to be closer to home, but this is not the grade for me. I'm sure someone else out there is feeling the same way! I have all this knowledge of the Common Core and how to use it in so many ways, yet I feel that my brain power is being wasted. Please forgive me all you prek teachers out there. I'm not trying to offend any one at all! Let me just tip my hat to all of you out there because I have no idea how in the world you all do it. You have so much patience and more marbles than I have. On top of that, there is no way in this world I can have this grade and have my very own house full of toddlers, which is what is happening to me now! There are no breaks for this teacher-mom. I am truly meant to be a teacher of ten year olds and I can't wait to be given the opportunity, hopefully soon, to fill those shoes.

So, now that I have vented, I have this great idea and I'm going crazy with it!!! I have the fourth grade product up and ready so feel free to check it out by clicking here!!! I've loaded the ELA packet for kindergarten for FREE!!! I really hope this ends up being used in your classroom!! Enjoy and feel free to leave me some positive feedback! I really appreciate it!

Disney Princess Costume Ideas

I absolutely love disney princesses and I am giddy with excitement each year when it's time to dress up for a story book character or for Halloween. So here are some ideas that are easy for you to put together and a great way to save money. I've tried to include each disney princess, I hope these help! J
Just a side note, I'm going to be minnie mouse this year. I know it's not a disney princess, but I just had to. I purchased a fifties style red and white polka dot dress, found a petticoat to make it poof up and put my mustard colored flats with it. Oh, and don't forget the ears I created myself with some black felt and an old headband I wasn't using. It's that simple.

With all of the ideas below, you can simply use clothes you may possibly already own or you can add to your wardrobe and still wear the clothing throughout the school year!

Cinderella 

Simple and to the point. I would definitely go with flats unless you like to live on the wild side.

Love and so simple!

I'd go with a longer bottom here, but aren't those yellow converse just the cutest?

Aurora 

I'd go with a longer dress, but love the pinks!

Love this one, but a longer dress is important when teaching unless you don't bend over all day. 

Here's an entire page of outfit ideas for each princess!!!

I'll be adding to my list of disney princess costumes/outfit ideas for teachers!! I hope you all enjoy the ideas I gathered for you!

Have a great Halloween at your school!!!
