Who DOESN’T love Zero the Hero! He comes to our classroom every 10 days. The children look forward to his visit, and they learn very quickly that every decade number needs a Zero!
Every 10 days, Zero stops by and leaves a little snack for us – sometimes it’s food, sometimes it’s something to make a project with – like stringing 10 pony beads on a bracelet. One year he even brought 10 pennies for each student! That Zero the Hero sure is thoughtful ;) After we enjoy or snack or project, we complete our pages in our Zero the Hero book. The children LOVE this!!
Zero the Hero stops coming to my classroom after the 100th day, but I know some other classes he might keep coming by until the last days of school.
Zero the Hero makes learning fun!! Check out the deal of the day on my Facebook page, and score your Zero the Hero Freebie – TODAY ONLY!

Today I am featuring my Primary Portfolios for my daily deal!
One of my favorite things about teaching Kindergarten is seeing the remarkable growth that happens each year. I LOVE documenting that growth along the way!
These are samples from before I updated my portfolio pack. The end of the year is SO chaotic I always forget to snap a few sample pictures!
Want to see what the new pack looks like? Head over to my Facebook Fan page and download yourself a sample. Just “LIKE” my page!
The new and improved Primary Portfolios pack will be on sale TODAY ONLY (Monday!) Be sure to check out my TpT store. I may not be blogging every day about my deal of the day, so be sure that you are tuned into my Facebook page!
Whoa!? What?! JULY?? This summer is flying by! I’ve been keeping busy all summer playing chauffeur to my two girls…they are dancing fools and will spend all day at the studio if they could!
We’ve been trying to do a lot of what makes us happy :) And often that is just chilling out at our house!
My oldest daughter spent two weeks at Concordia Language Villages at the Norwegian camp. If you want your child to learn a language in a fun and engaging way, Concordia Language Villages is the place to be. This was her 4th summer there, and she can hardly wait to go back for more!
We’ve also found some time to chill out at the lake and pool…
and enjoyed some 4th of July fun
We have just finished up our final arrangements for our family summer vacation….what started out as a little trip to California (because airline prices were great) turned into something bigger! If you are in SoCal and have some suggestions of places to see/things to do, please let me know!
I will also admit that I have been neglecting my little old blog…along with all of the family summer fun, I’ve been preparing my presentation for I Teach K. I hope to finalize things tonight, but it’s been all sorts of crazy in my house with alphabet stuff all over the place!
My WBT posts have been shoved to the side….sorry about that. I hope to get back to it soon.
I have a winner from my Pin it to Win it giveaway too!
Keep watching my blog for more Pin it To Win it Games!
and….I promised I would pick three more winners of my newest alphabet games:
Congrats to….
