From My Desk: Crayons, Foxes, Pumpkins & Classroom Joy

Hello From My Desk ✨

Hello friends — I hope you are well and finding joy in the beautiful (and sometimes exhausting!) work of raising, teaching, caring for, and supporting children. You are deeply loved and appreciated for the wonderful job you do each day. 💛

It’s been a busy, creative season here at my desk, and I wanted to share some fun new ideas with you!

Does your learning space need a fresh new focus? I love this set of colorful crayon alphabet letters that are perfect for bulletin boards, classroom displays, or centers. They come with A–Z and numbers so you can spell out messages like “You Are Loved” or anything you’d like!

New Emergent Readers

The Cut, Paste, Read bundle has grown again — three new titles are now included:

• Fox Loves Fall
• Leaf Hunt Fun
• Red Yellow Brown

These integrate seasonal science themes with early reading practice. Students can color, cut, glue, build fine motor skills, and even illustrate their own pages. Making books is such a magical way to spark a love of reading!

Fox Fun Everywhere!

Foxes seem to be running through everything lately!

A brand new Fox on the Rocks coloring page is live in the Pond Premium Coloring Club.

Students could also try a fox-themed pattern block build or directed drawing.

Such a fun way to combine art, geometry, and imagination!

Pumpkins & Pattern Blocks

Over on Instagram, I shared a pumpkin play mat and math warm-up that uses pattern blocks for shape recognition, strategy thinking, and cooperative learning. It’s super quick to prep!

Snip, Snip, Smile!

Looking for a simple but important fine motor activity? My new Happy Cloud Scissor Skills Pack is a quick-prep way to give students cutting practice. And the cheerful little clouds make adorable bulletin board decorations too!
