In today’s modern world, Instagram Stories is proving to be a valuable asset within any brands marketing strategy, ours included. Stories allow us to connect and engage our audience on a more personal level. Now, more than ever, it is vital to build that relationship with your audience to allow them to build trust in your brand and the story you are trying to create for them.
The templates that follow are designed to allow you to captivate your audience on a more personal level. All you have to do if either screenshot the image or save it to your photos.
If you are looking for an exciting game for Valentine’s Day in your classroom, you’ve come to the right place. Take a look at my ‘VALENTINE’S DAY – WRITE THE ROOM’ for an engaging and exciting activity that will keep those Valentine’s words at the centre of learning .
One of my favorite subjects to teach in the early years is the alphabet . Seeing little ones remember the songs, games and rhymes reminds me of where we all start on our literacy journey . In order for little ones to be successful in this , it is critical for their foundation in the alphabet to be as strong as it can be .
It is for this reason that I have created ‘ALPHABET WRITE + COLOR‘. Every page in this booklet has space to practise identifying and writing a specific letter in the alphabet from A to Z .
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
MY HANDWRITING CHECKLIST – One thing that I like to reinforce within my own teaching of the alphabet is what is expected during the writing process . I have included this checklist to ensure that learners are able to look at their work and tick off what they have achieved and what areas they need to develop further .
HANDWRITING LINES – Each letter has three lines for learners to practice their alphabetical writing skills . This includes lower case, upper case and both together .
COLOR MATCH – I have included this activity to reinforce phonological awareness during the early stages of learning the alphabet .

There is no doubt in my mind that Elf on the Classroom Shelf is one of the most exciting activities that you can do during Christmas . Like most people, I found this little guy through seeing posts on social media showing their naughty antics .
Please take a look at my Elf on the Classroom Shelf resource to help you build the excitement that can be generated within the classroom . This resource allows for literacy to be at the heart of this magical experience . I have included individual printables as well as writing frames that can be used throughout December while your classroom is an Elf playground.
Coloring pages for little ones are a fun way to develop those fine motor skills .Journal pages to ensure that littles ones keep on track with what what their Elf is getting up to each day . Writing printables to encourage creative writing . Writing printables ensure that learners are engaging in imaginative thinking . Additional printables that build on little ones excitement but also allow for further skills to be developed .
These are all designed to be easily accomplished by students at school. You will not need many resources or additional materials. You can decide whether students will complete each task independently or whether you will work together as a class community to complete each act. ___________________________________________________________________

It’s that time of year again . After the hustle and bustle of Christmas , New Year has crept up upon us all . I am so surprised at how quickly 2018 has flown in . I actually think I might have blinked and missed half the year .
This year has given me many challenges to overcome, as well as a number of special moments that I will always remember . One my my main achievements this year has been the growth of my Instagram page and TeachersPayTeachers store . Half way through the year, I decided to put more effort into both platforms . This is definitely something that I want to focus on going into 2019 . I have found great enjoyment in sharing my story and building a community for others to do this as well .
Living in the 21st century, one of the perks to this modern world is the ability to look back at your social media and see your highlights . #2018BestNine takes me back to some great moments which many others enjoyed as well . (Click this link and you can check out more on my Instagram page)

I have finally taken the plunge and started a blog . Over the last few days I have been listening to Kayse Morris – The Go-Getter podcast , and to say that she has changed my life would be an understatement . Within the space of 6 episodes, she has been able to let me see the errors in my ways, for not only my Instagram but also the branding of my TPT store . After the last episode , I sat at my desk and jotted down a few changes I wanted to make to build the teaching empire that is ‘MrM’sInstsStuff’ .
One of the decisions I made was to start my own teaching blog . The main purpose of this blog is to promote my TPT resources and share the knowledge I have gained over the last few years of teaching . Let me know what you would like to hear and possible resources you would like to see up on TPT .
Please take the time to save us onto your browser and add us on BlogLovin . If you have a spare 5 minutes pop on over to my TPT and check out my latest resources .
