1st Day of School Picture Frame

It's not a secret how much I LOVE pictures and frames!  After several days searching for the perfect frame for the 1st day of school, I decided to make my own! It turned out super cute, and to my husband's delight, I only spent less than $5!

I bought 4 stretcher strips at Hobby Lobby. They have different lengths, so you can make your frame the size you want.  I wanted mine small to make it easy for my Kindergartners to handle. I used 11" for the top and the bottom & 14" for the sides!

After I put the four pieces together, I painted them using acrylic paint I had at home.

I let the frame dry for a couple of minutes. It didn't take long. Meanwhile I laminated and cut the letters for the frame.

When I was done cutting the letters, my frame was dry, and I just needed to paste the letter to the frame. (I used hot glue.) 

It took me about an hour to make this frame and it's super cute! Now I can check off one thing from my Back-to-School list! 

If you follow my TPT store, these letters are this month freebie! I included PK-2.  I didn't want to leave any of my Early Childhood friends out!

Have fun making your own frame and post pics of your creations!

Have fun!

Graduation day!

Our last day of school was fabulous! The kids were super excited, because it was also their Graduation Day!

They made a wonderful performance for their parents! I was very proud of how great they did!

After their performance I had a small celebration in my classroom with a surprise for each of them!

They were super happy with their bucket. Each bucket had crayons, markers, a notebook, glue sticks & bubbles!

I had a wonderful school year! Now, I am ready to enjoy the summer with my family!

Have fun!

Mother's Day!

I am ready to start celebrating my Mother's Day weekend! But, first I would like to share with you all the activities we made in class for Mother's Day!

The kids painted these cute flowers using their fingers! It was a perfect decoration for this poem.

They also made a card and drew a pictures of their Moms.

We put everything together in this baggie! It was easy for the kids to carry it and make sure their mothers will get all their gifts!

A couple of weeks ago we learned about plants and recycling and here is the final product of those lessons! The kids were super excited to take this tiny plants to their mothers!

My little ones also surprised me with all these presents they made at school for me! I am very lucky to have my children surrounded by wonderful educators!

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
