Setting Monthly Goals {FREEBIE!}

Hello, Friends! Lindsey, The Teacher Wife, here! Today I want to share with you a goal activity that you can do with your students each month. January is a great month for setting goals and resolutions, but why limit goal setting to just January?! I think goals should be set and achieved all year long. I am the type of person who thrives on setting and accomplishing my goals. I have set some goals in my life that have brought me such happiness and I love the idea of teaching children to do the same thing! Goal setting is important!

Witches' Brew! (Freebie)

Happy October! October is my absolute favorite month! I love Halloween and all of the magic that comes with it. One of my favorite things to do in October is teach my students the Witches' Brew song by Hap Palmer. It is so much fun to sing and it ALWAYS becomes a class favorite. It is a great brain break and once your students learn the words, it is so cute to listen to them all sing it. You can print the lyrics {here}.

Be sure to check out my blog! I just posted about this fun (FREE) Halloween joke book on my blog and Instagram. Your students will love it and it's a great alternative to candy. Click on the picture to visit my blog and check it out!

I Know My Address!

Hello there! Lindsey (The Teacher Wife) here!

Have you ever read the book Me on the Map? I read it to my students every year, and it always becomes a class favorite. I use this book to introduce maps and I also use it to encourage my students to memorize their addresses and phone numbers. Learning personal information is so important for little kids, and I'm always surprised at how many kids don't know their addresses or phone numbers. In my classroom, I  send the following worksheet home with my students as homework. I also attach a note to it asking parents to help their child memorize their address and phone number. Click {here}, or on the picture below, to download this freebie! 

Then, when all students have their addresses memorized, we look them up on Google Earth as a class, on the overhead projector. My students LOVE Google Earth and they love seeing where their friends live! It is the perfect reward for learning their addresses! It is also fun to look up the school, grocery store, movie theater, your house, the park, etc.! :)

On my blog, I have these fun "My House All Year" books that I like to make with my students. It focuses more on months of the year, but it also focuses on my students' houses. These books always turn out so cute and they become fun keepsakes. Click {here} to check it out and download the free printable that goes along with it!
