If you work in a bilingual, dual language or multilingual setting, you probably have set colors for each language, like black for english and red for Spanish for example. And maybe you set up your classroom to match, then move to a new school with a whole new set of color rules. I've been there! 🫠 That's why I added a variety of color coded options to this freebie set of basket and bin labels. Honoring the language, staying consistent in how we display it, and including children in the process will help students organize it visually, and also be meaningful when they reference it. For example, you can also use a red marker to write down a child's dictation spoken in Spanish, and a black marker for a dictation in English. So when children (or anyone) see the web of ideas, language is clearly and immediately identified. Having worked in only bilingual and dual language settings, this was my default way of approaching language, so you'll see me offer various color options for that reason, I know how important it is and I also know, we don't always have time to do it. How are you using the labels, show us your setups! 📸

Hey teacher friends! 👋 Whether you found me through an ad this week or you've walked alongside me for years, I am so glad you're here. A little about what I do, in case we're just meeting. For a little over two years now, I've had the honor of supporting more than 2,000 teachers inside the Pre-K Prep Club. It started small and it has never stopped growing, because I build it around one thing: your feedback. Every resource and every update comes from listening to the educators actually living this work, the real days with real children. That is who I create for, and it's why the Club keeps evolving. Now, if you're new here and thinking "she says over 2,000 teachers, but I only see a handful," let me explain, because I never want anything about this to feel unclear. Our established community has lived on a different platform for the last couple of years, and that's where those teachers have been growing right alongside me. Recently, so many of my members have told me how much they love the Skool experience in this free community, so I'm building the Club's new home here on Skool. My founding members are coming over first to help me shape the space, which means you're catching us at the very beginning. 🌱 If you're one of those founding members, I just sent everyone a special invitation to join 🔑 Everything happening this month is already yours when you accept the invitation. Don't see it? Please message me! And if you're new? This is the moment to jump in! Right now, everyone inside the Pre-K Prep Club for Teachers gets both of our July challenges completely free, a $100 value, built to support you as you set up your classrooms for the year ahead: 🌱 Jumpstart for Play-Based Learning 📚 Jumpstart for The Creative Curriculum Pick the path that fits your classroom and follow along with real support in the Pre-K Prep Club community. And it's so much more than the challenges. Your membership also opens up a library of done-for-you resources, because that prep work is exactly what pulls our time and energy away from the parts of this calling we love most. I want to hand that time back to you.
