I'm linking up with Kelly and Kim's Kreations for Markdown Monday! Today I'm putting two of my word problem resources on sale. My school has pushed a big focus on problem solving, especially with the different problem types listed in the Common Core. The hard part for me: making sure I was teaching all of the different types of problems! So I've created... The Word Problem Pals! This is 6 sets of task cards for practicing the different problem types. Let me show you some of the problems. This set of cards practices the start unknown problem type. In your purchase, ... read more

New, DIY Bench – Monday Made It
I'm linking up with Tara for my very first Monday Made It post! Today I wanted to share with you this little hope chest/bench that my husband and I bought at a used furniture shop for $75. We hated the cover (obviously - it's disgusting). Before purchasing we figured we should see just how simple or not simple this would be. It turns out the cushion is simply screwed to the inside. I wanted to change the color of it, and we thought spray painting might be a total disaster. We decided to give it a go anyway. :) We bought 4 bottles of white spray so that it would match the ... read more
No Desk? No Problem!
Today I want to share with you how in the world I plan to live (successfully!) without my teacher desk! This past year I had a teacher desk. It was huge. It was heavy. It was AWFUL. I bargained with my principal to get a kidney table in my room, which I did finally get. However, they wouldn't take the big, bulky teacher desk out of my room, so I shoved it up against a wall and got over it. (Well, I tried to get over it - but I hated it.)

Starting Fresh!
Let me start by saying - Hello, AGAIN! In January I began this little journey through TPT, blogging, Facebooking, and Instagramming, and I tried to do it all. I was crazy enough to think that I could start all four of those. Epic FAIL. Soooooo, I'm giving myself a fresh start! Some of you may know me already, but I'm Katie from Simply Creative in KY. I'm headed in to my 4th year of teaching 2nd grade at a little school just outside of Lexington, and I work with the BEST people ever. Here's a little snapshot of some of us celebrating the end of the year. I've been married for 3 years, and ... read more
