It's National S'MORES Day!

August 10 is National S'Mores Day!  This delicious campfire treat is made from three simple ingredients-graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate bars.  The first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the 1927 version of the Girl Scout Handbook.  The recipe was passed from camper to camper and eventually became a very popular fireside dessert. The early recipes called the treats Some Mores, but at some point the name was shortened to S'Mores.  To celebrate today, I have discounted two S'Mores resources in my TpT Store.  Why not bring in a bit of education to this fun celebration?  It's a perfect time of year to gather up your friends and family, make a campfire, and enjoy this sweet treat!  No campfire?  You can toast your marshmallows in a toaster oven or even a microwave!  Get creative while you are at it... you can add peanut butter to the graham crackers or use a peanut butter cup rather than the chocolate bar.  Fudge dipped or striped cookies work well too if you don't have graham crackers! 

Any way you design it, your S'More will be something you'll love!

Spreading Love With a Sale and Giveaway!

It’s time to enjoy a pre-Valentine’s Day treat!  I am offering some sweet savings on everything in my Teachers Pay Teachers store this Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8. Just enter the code LOVETpT at checkout and you’ll receive a 28% discount on every item, including some already deeply discounted items.

Hay...How about a giveaway too!? 

 

  

Enter below for a chance to win one of my newest products - Valentine's Day Kindness Activity (For Students and Staff).  Since Valentine's Day is such an easy holiday to integrate kindness into...how about a great activity to do just that?  Simply print the templates, hang them up for your students to choose from (or randomly hand out names), and let students compliment one another. This is a great display piece for your classroom/hallway bulletin board.  My students wrote compliments the other day and our bulletin board looks great and it gets loads of compliments itself!  Want to spread a little love at your next faculty meeting?  Teachers can choose another staff member to compliment and then spread the love by hanging up the templates for all to see in the faculty lunchroom or your main office.

Spread Some Love!

Spread Some Love and a Giveaway!

February is certainly a month filled with fun things for the classroom. 
Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, Presidents Day, and more!  As teachers, we often look for ways to foster kindness in our students.  I love Valentine's Day in the classroom because it is an easy way to bring out the love and kindness in our students.  I recently created a fun activity for my students so they can Spread Some Love by writing compliments to one another. Simply give a bread/jam template to each student and have them write a compliment about someone else!  This product includes a few different templates for students to write on and color, samples, and posters with directions.  This is a great bulletin board idea as well. 
You could even use this with your fellow teachers as a fun staff lounge activity on Valentine's Day!!

This is another fun activity to get your students thinking creatively. 

 Fourteen fun Valentine's Day themed prompts are included.
