School is Cool! Summer Craft

 I wanted to share this fun little craft with you that my awesome friend Denise inspired me to create a few years ago!

School is Cool! 

A fun bulletin board craft for the bright summer months!

Click {here} to download the craft and writing templates for free! Leave me some feedback if you'd like!

Also, my sweet friend Jen made another version of the writing template which you can get for free too {here}.

Hopefully that'll give you something fun to do with your kiddos as the year winds down.

I, on the other hand, have way too many days left!!!

FREE Stained Glass Mitten Template

Since the frigid winter cold doesn't appear to be going anywhere, I decided to bring some winter warmth into my kindergarten classroom with these adorable "stained glass" mitten window decorations. 

These brightly colored mittens are the perfect FAST craft to complete at school. 

They're quick, easy, and no glue is required! 

The complete collection looks stunning in my classroom windows.
