TeacherPRINTS {September)

The new set of TeacherPRINTS for September is making
me crave fall so much!
It is so stinkin' hot here in Kansas, as it is in most of the country,
and I'm just so ready for some cooler temps!
I LOVE summer, but now that school is under way, I can't help
but get excited for all those traditional fall activities just
waiting around the corner.
Apple pickin, pumpkin patch, fall leaves....I'm so ready!

When I think of September and early fall I think of harvest time and
of course...apples!
That was my inspiration for the September TeacherPRINTS.
I absolutely love how it turned out and I already have one of the
printables included framed outside my classroom!

TeacherPRINTS Sale {only $3.20!}

Happy weekend, y'all!

I hope your school year has gotton off to a great start
whether you are teaching or have little ones back in the classroom!

This month was the first edition of TeacherPRINTS and
I'm almost done with the September version.
{the colors and art are perfect for late summer/early autumn
and I can't wait to share it with you VERY soon!}
 
As this month is winding down, I thought I'd put the August TeacherPRINTS
on sale today and tomorrow only!
 




 The wonderful thing about TeacherPRINTS is that you can use it over and over
again...especially this one because it is so versatile. Besides a few printables
that actually say "August" on them, everything else like the thank you postcards
and notecards you can use whenever!
And the BTS signs and "Welcome to Your New Classroom" sign would
work for next year, too. Even if you change grade levels, there is a sign for you!
 
 
You can snag the August TeacherPRINTS for only $3.20 in my TpT shop
today and tomorrow!
 
Look for the September TeacherPRINTS this week!
 
Also, check out my first post in a new series on how
essentials oils are helping me go back-to-school HERE.

Back to School with Essential Oils {Part One}




I feel like the Back to School season for me is slowing
down....FINALLY!
Last night was our Back to School night so it is nice having
that and Meet the Teacher night done.
Those night events can be so exhausting for a teacher
{plus the rest of the family} so I'm thrilled they are under my belt!
They both went extremely well with pretty good attendance, too.

I have the SWEETEST group of kiddos this year and we are already
having a blast and diving full force into our curriculum.
Lots of talkers, but that's to be expected at the beginning of first grade!

It didn't take long for some of my precious firsties to fall ill. :(
I don't know if I've ever had so many sick the first week!

Since I started using essential oils, I've been slowly trying
to research each oil I received in my Young Living premium starter kit.
 When I was reading about how the essential oil
blend Thieves can help support a healthy immune system,
I knew that this would be something that I would rely on
when heading back to work.

Lots of sweet kiddos = lots of germs! :)




So far, I've tried to diffuse a little Thieves every day at home.
I also started putting a drop under my tongue in the morning
after realizing there were bugs going around.
So far, I've been in the clear!

I've got a few other oils that I'm using to help get through
the Back to School season, so I'll share those with you soon!

If you have any questions about essential oils or are interested in
purchasing your own Young Living premium start kit, you can email me at
 mrsprinceandco@gmail.com

Have you heard of this app yet?!?



My daughter and I have been using FarFaria this summer

She enjoys listening to stories on the iPad and with
FarFaria, there are so many to choose from.
You can subscribe to FarFaria for as little as $4.99/month

center...that's what I'm going to do!



I never really had an official "listening center" with a CD
player and headphones, but now that I have my own
iPad for my classroom, having a listening center
will be super easy with this app!

My district uses DIBELS for reading and math progress
monitoring now...but I love to have my own stuff to use when
I want a quick check OR to practice with students {we gotta teach
them what we want them to do with these things!} and parents
love to be able to have something to take home for practice.
Seriously, if we are testing our kids using formats like this...a lot
of parents would like the chance to use something similar to practice with
at home. After having parents frustrated with not getting to actually get
DIBELS materials to practice with their kiddos at home, cause we can't
send those home, I made these to be able to give them something and most
are really grateful to get to leave a conference with something in their hand
they can do with their child.
