Monthly Rewind: March 2013

HAPPY EASTER!

I love the Easter season! God has always been faithful to me, even though I don't deserve His love or faithfulness, and Easter is a chance for me to celebrate that. I love how Courtney over at Women Living Well puts it.
Now onto our rewind...

Whew! It was a busy March at Your Teacher's Aide!  Let's take a quick look at some of the things we talked about this month:

Friday Freebies: This month, we discovered Easter freebies, addition activities, poetry sheets, and alphabet printables.

How to Use Your Freezer to Save Money showed us why getting a freezer can help your grocery budget shrink. 

Freezer Meal Ideas is a post full of yummy recipes that can be pulled straight from the freezer for a quick and easy meal.

Indoor Recess Games was a fun post that helped us keep those rainy day recesses under control!

The Pinterest Inspired Classroom got a little cuter with magnetic trays, a permanent marker trick, and classroom organization tips.

Spring Picture Books to Read Aloud gave us a list of quality picture books full of flowers, birds, and other springy-goodness (now, if only we could start seeing a little of that outside our own windows!) 

Before & After Classroom Makeovers showed us some super-cute ways we could transform our own rooms. Teachers decorated with bright colors, painted maps on cabinet doors, made ActivBoards look cute, and kept things simple.

I introduced you to some of my new products (and gave away a few of them too!- oooh, that reminds me...if you haven't checked out this week's giveaway go HERE): 

      

       

Free and Easy Rewards for Students helped us brainstorm ideas for rewards that motivate without breaking our (tiny) teaching budget.

150 Children's Books that were Turned into Movies is hopefully a resource you can use to reinforce reading in your classroom or at home with your kids. 

Smooth Dismissal Routine was a post where I showed you what works for me when it comes to developing an end-of-the day routine.

Ladybug Classroom Theme showed us oodles of cute ideas for decorating our classrooms and creating bulletin boards around this theme.

Summer Challenge 2013 was announced and I can't wait to get started on our summer goals in May!!

Morning Classroom Routine gave us ideas on how to start our day off in a calm and peaceful way.
