Over 100 FREE Kindergarten resources?! Yup, really Over 100 FREE Kindergarten resources?! Yup, really! My biggest struggle during my first few years of teaching was searching for and creating resources for my lessons and centres every week! I’d be sitting at my computer for hours, researching best practices and then finding or creating lessons and centres that aligned with The Ontario Kindergarten Program and what my kiddos needed practice with the most. And now… I share a lot of what I’ve made on my blog for FREE! I planned and created for thousands of hours (and continue to do so) so YOU can do less planning and more teaching (AND spend more time with the people you love🤍) Sound good? Then head over to my blog where you can find 100+ hands-on, play-based printables to save you time, boost engagement, and make your Kinder day a little smoother. From literacy and math centres to holiday and seasonal activities—there’s a little bit of everything in my Freebie Library!

💙🐋 The ocean needs our help! 🐚💙 Today 💙🐋 The ocean needs our help! 🐚💙 Today we kicked off our Earth Day learning with “Ocean Soup” by Meeg Pincus—an awesome book that teaches kids about plastic pollution and how it affects our oceans. 🌍💧 After reading, I had K use tweezers to clean up plastic from our “ocean”, making the lesson fun and hands-on while reinforcing why we need to keep our seas plastic-free. K loves animals so he took his job super seriously which was adorable, and it was such a hit that even his 6 year old brother joined in✨ This centre boosts fine motor and sorting skills—all while increasing environmental awareness and helping kids learn how to help the planet! 🌎💡 Want the full lesson plan + more Earth Day activities? ➡️ Comment EARTHDAY for the link to my Earth Day pack! ⬅️ #EarthDay #PlasticPollution #SaveTheOcean #EcoFriendlyKids #EarthDayActivities #TeachTheFuture #KindergartenLearning #HandsOnLearning #PlasticFreeOceans #EcoConscious #FineMotorSkills #EnvironmentalAwareness #SustainableLearning #OceanConservation #OceanEducation #KindergartenTeacher #STEMLearning #EarthDayEveryDay #PlayBasedLearning #EarlyEducation #GreenClassroom #KidPower #EnvironmentalEducation #OceanHeroes #PlasticFree #EarthDayForKids
