Must Have Recipes for Teachers: lice + laundry tips

Well I had my first case of lice in the classroom this week.  Yuck!  Luckily I am also a Certified Aromatherapist, so I went straight to my cupboard and made up an essential oil blend for myself and the colleagues I share a classroom with.  I wanted to share my recipe since I know how itchy the topic makes all of us!  If you have questions about the essential oil blend, please contact me at:

I am also including a great laundry tip to remove art stains from clothing.  Click the picture to download the freebies.

Scaredy Squirrel + Retelling with Chrysanthemum

It's official.  I have a great group of kids this year!  They love Read to Self!  They can't wait to practice Read to Someone!  And they are overall fun to be around.

Here are a few updates from the past few weeks.  First off our Scaredy Squirrels. 
My favourite comparison statement was: We both want fish :)   I love it!

We practiced retelling using pictures and words with Kevin Henkes' Chrysanthemum:

And the new book bins.  Thank goodness I splurged!  These bins have been on their heads and kicked around the classroom as the kids model their absolute "worst" Read to Self behaviours!
