The Love of Shopping and Friendship Are you a Jane Austen Fan? I'm obsessed! Northanger Abbey is the first of Jane's novels to be complete for publication. A quote from her novel in the words of Isabella on friendship states, "There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong." I'm a bit late on my post for good reasons! I had a wonderful night out with a darling friend and her hubby! We get so caught up in life AND before you blink too much time has passed! Life changes drastically in a year. A loss of a loved one, a new significant other, and a beautiful new home. Each event, my husband and I dropped everything to be by her side. Last night was the first time in a year that we just enjoyed each others great company without a significant reason for the visit. We scheduled the double date last weekend. Determined to find a cute outfit for the visit, I stalked a few of my favorite online stores: Hazel and Olive Boutique, The Blue Door Boutique, The Mint Julep Boutique, The Red Dress Boutique, and 834 Boutique! You have to follow of the boutiques on Facebook because once the item is posted, they sell out QUICK! On Monday, I scored an adorable chevron maxi dress! I spent my entire lunch break fighting the bandwidth on my phone to get this precious dress for my night out at the beaches. Establishing Independent Early Finishing Activities Establishing independent activities for early finishers in Kindergarten has been a challenge for me this year. I've tried various activities to ensure students are working towards the standards while awaiting friends in the class to complete their work time activities. Recently, I pinned this cute picture on Pinterest from The Modern Teacher! I'm certain I need to an intervention but I find so many wonderful ideas on the site. These bins are from Walmart. They're ice bins! Brilliant right? I ran out and immediately scored a set of ten! I knew instantly that I wanted to create center like early finishers to cap off the remaining weeks of this school year. The bins are assigned to a student for an entire week. I rotate the the students names at the end of the week for a controlled choice. Each bin has several activities or books to choose from. In addition to the bins, students have their library book, leveled books, and sight word rings to practice! After two weeks in rotation, the novelty hasn't worn off which makes this tired teacher happy!!! Center Activity by Lesson Plan Diva You can find the above mentioned pin on my organization board. I'm also linking other of my favorite boards. Must Buy and Various

I know this may be coming to most of you a little LOT late, but I wanted to post about it anyways. You can pin it and save the idea for next year if you want. :) Each year for the last 26 days of school I do an ABC Countdown. This is not my original idea in fact it has been around since before I started teaching. I have seen it where some schools start at the letter Z and work their way to the letter A, but I do just the opposite. I start at the letter A and the last day of school is the letter Z. My students always love doing this and it helps promote good behavior during those last few weeks when the students (and teachers) are just excited for summer to arrive. Each year I go over every single ABC countdown I have done and look to see what ideas I want to use for the current year. If you want to see my last year's countdown, you can click {here}. This year I decided that it would be so much easier to just compile one big list and then add to it as I get other ideas. I wanted to share this wealth of ideas with you. If you would like to see my list of ABC countdown ideas, please click on the images below. Some of these may not be right for kindergarten, but I put them on there anyways. It is a list that I have basically been creating for the past nine years. I hope you enjoy. If you have other ideas we can add to the list, please comment below and I will update it. :)

It's hard to believe it's already that time of the year again! The End of the Year Countdown is on and I wanted to share some EASY and inexpensive student gifts for the end of the year! Let's get this party started!!!! And, at only $3.88 for a pack of 6 these Bubble Sticks from Wal-Mart are an AMAZING deal! I am giving my sweet students these bubble sticks this year and I am going to personalize them using my Silhoutte Cameo! Another option are these adorable popsicle bubble blowers from Dollar Tree! Sand Buckets make a great end of the year gift because they can be used to hold ANYTHING! My own kids play with sand buckets all the time for anything and everything, not just at the beach! I gave my students each a sand bucket a few years ago and personalized them with their names! You could also put some fun items inside! You can find these anywhere, but I found some great deals at Dollar Tree and Michaels! My kids LOVE water bottles and the great thing about these is how easy they are to find for pretty cheap! I found these ones at Dollar Tree and last year I personalized them for each of my students using my Silhouette! I've also seen great options at Michaels and Hobby Lobby! When I was in third grade, my teacher gave my entire class a book for our end of the year gift. But, she didn't just give us any book. She picked out a different book for every single one of us that would mean something to that student. I STILL remember that gift, and I'm sure I still have the book in a box in my parent's attic. One simple little gift that has truly made an impact on my life! One year I hope to do that for each of my kids! It is definitely not a cheap idea, but one that might impact a future teacher! Books are ALWAYS a good idea to give! And, even if you don't want to choose a DIFFERENT book for every student, you can easily purchase a class favorite for the class! Make sure to check out the Scholastic teacher section for dollar deals, and if you are lucky enough to have a Scholastic Warehouse near you, their sales are AMAZING! When I was a little girl, I LOVED playing school! So, giving dry erase boards as an end of the year gift is always a good idea in my book! And, there are so many different options! I have these plastic trays and dry erase board paddles from Dollar Tree! But, you could also go to Home Depot and have them cut pieces of Shower Board for you! I did this my first year teaching and STILL have the same boards TEN years later!! It would also be cute to personalize the backs of the boards using a permanent marker! What kid doesn't LOVE sunglasses!? These are such a fun gift for the end of the year! These are also a pretty inexpensive gift and would make the cutest picture of your entire class wearing them all! You can grab these options from Dollar Tree! And, these NEON sunglasses are only $15 for a 24 pack on Amazon! I am all about some memories, so giving a picture frame with a class picture inside is a great gift idea in my book! I can just imagine this sweet little picture frame sitting on a night stand for years to come! And then maybe one day it'll be placed in a box and bring back lots of memories and smiles! I grabbed this little frame from Dollar Tree, so it was a great deal! I just love the idea of giving students beach balls at the end of the year! And, these work out perfectly because you can have your class sign each ball with a permanent marker as a fun little memento to keep for years to come! And, at only $1.00 a ball they make the perfect gift! You can find these at Dollar Tree! You can also grab this 12 pack of beach balls for under $10 on Amazon! For all those crafty teachers, I bet you could come up with something CUTE to put on a t-shirt! I'm thinking tie-dye or some Heat Transfer Vinyl! And then you could also have students sign the backs and have a sweet little gift that they can keep forever! You can grab this pack of t-shirts on Amazon! How FUN is sidewalk chalk during the summer!? My kids LOVE using sidewalk chalk at recess, so I know this would make a great end of the year gift that they could use at home! These 20 packs are only $1.00 at Dollar Tree!!! Because what kid doesn't LOVE candy!? This is always an easy idea! And you can get ANY kind of sweet treat! Gummy Bears are some of my favorite!!! I found these Krazy Straws at Dollar Tree and there are 6 in a pack for only $1.00! I mean, it doesn't get much cheaper than 16 cents per student! You could even add one of those packs of Kool Aid or Crystal Light to it to make it more fun! I also found these cute mini Krazy Straws at Hobby Lobby! Or, you can grab a 36 pack on Amazon for only around $7! So, I'm going to be completley honest and I HATE playdough! But, as much as I hate it kids absolutely LOVE it! Dollar Tree has TONS of options! They even have a 4-pack for only $1.00! This would make a great gift for primary grades! You could even send home a cute little list of things that they could use the playdough for to practice over the summer- letters, CVC words, sight words! Anything! And, for those fun and silly years how FUN would Silly Putty or Silly String be for a gift!? You can find both of these fun things on Amazon! I love the idea of paint and some paper or an art pad! As a mom of two, this would give kids something fun to do over the summer! Markers or crayons would also be a cute idea! And again, not expensive at all! I also found some large Art Pads at Dollar Tree for only $1.00! Because when it's all said and done, the years really do FLY BY! It always amazes me how fast the school year goes by! Frisbees are such a fun gift idea, and I think it would be super adorable to have your students sign each other's frisbee! So, I just LOVE when I find cute little plush toys to give to my kids! Especially when they aren't very expensive! How ADORABLE are these little plush fish that I found from Dollar Tree!? I love the whole o-FISH-ally theme and got super excited when I found them! And, these cute little caterpillars make the CUTEST little bookworms! I found these at Dollar Tree, too! I mean, how ADORABLE are these little plush fish from Oriental Trading!? They would make the cutest little gift with an O-FISH-ALLY tag! Or, these sweet little bears from Oriental Trading would make the sweetest gift for a BEARY sweet year! Pencils are always fun! But, personalized pencils are even better! How adorable are these pencils that you can grab from Oriental Trading!? Clipboards are always fun! The best part of these is they are a blank canvas and you can personalize them in different ways! You can add their names with vinyl, stickers, or a permanent marker! You could even write a special message on the back! And, if you wanted to you could add some summer review pages to the clipboard for students to practice over the summer! You can get a 30 pack on Amazon for around $30! One of my FAVORITE things we did on the last day of school was give our students this fun little Last Day of School Snack! It was such a fun way to end the year!! You could really use ANY candy for this and come up with cute little sayings for what they stand for! Just a FUN way to end the year in a positive way! I hope that you found some ideas for your end of the year gifts!!!! If you need a tag, you can grab my End of the Year Gift Tags in my TPT store! It has ALL the tags shown in this post, including the treat bag topper for the Last Day of School Snack! They come in color and black and white versions and you can personalize them in PowerPoint with your name!

**UPDATED** 2021 Version: The first page is for "in-person" learners. Each year, we do an end of year countdown beginning 26 days before the last day of school. About two weeks before the countdown begins, I send a Sign-Up Genius to parents asking them to sign up for the tangible items along with the day I need them to be in my classroom. These are bubble wands (1 per student), donut, ice pops, fruit for Kabob Day, lollipops, ingredients for trail mix, watermelon. The second page is a distance learning option: Each year in kindergarten, we do an "ABC Countdown." This year, with kids being at home, we are offering this as an optional, fun activity they can do each day. The teachers post pictures to our class page each day completing the activities so that our kids can see us! :) **IMPORTANT** This will open as a Word Doc because you will need to change the dates (or activities if you would like). You will need to download the font "KG Compassion Big" before downloading this file to Word. It is free to download.
