A Cupcake for the Teacher

Where Teaching is Sweet!

Namebows and an Easy Pattern Freebie

This week is a short one, and next week we have spring break, so we aren’t reading one of our Treasures stories.  Instead, my students and I have been doing a lot of math, science, and social studies… plus having some fun as we decorate our room for April 🙂


Today I planned to do something completely different, but when I realized I left my baseball buddy patterns at home, I had to think fast.  I remembered seeing a super cute and easy activity while blog stalking: Namebow Rainbows from Reagan at Tunstall’s Teaching Tidbits!


I quickly made a cloud pattern and cut strips of colorful construction paper during snack time.  As a class we brainstormed adjectives for each letter of the alphabet.  When we were done, we chose adjectives for each letter of our first names.  Here’s mine:

I’d show you pics of our completed projects, but I don’t want to put my littles’ names out there and such.  I have them hanging along our clothesline.  They are so CUTE and COLORFUL, and are just PERFECT for Parents’ Night in a few weeks!  Thank you Reagan!!!

We also made these beyond-super-easy carrots to fill up some empty space {and time}:

Pssst: Only 13 more followers until 1000!!!  I’m in the process of planning my big, big giveaway, yay!

  9. Crazy for that carrot! I think we might need to get a note from The Easter Bunny on a carrot like that! =)

    Wahoo for almost getting to 1,000!

    You are amazing!

    You are the queen of the Crafting with the Stars bloggers I know. =)

  17. Love everything about this post!! Except when I try to think on my toes, my product never turns out as cute! Lol. Also, I always wondered if Teri was short for something!!

  21. Thanks for the shout out! So glad your rainbow name-bows came out! I love seeing mine hanging up around the room. It is so fun and cheery!!! Yours is really cute. Congrats on all your success and almost 1000!!!!

  33. Cute Blog! Love your name idea with the rainbow strips! Going to use it when I get back from Easter break!

    There are so many of you that have "hooked" me into the blogging world & have inspired me to want to start my own! If you have any great advice for a newbie- I am willing to learn! I just started my own blog and waiting for my blog makeover which should be ready in a few days! I would love to learn how to create printables etc, but my "nitch" is technology. If you are interested in integrating technology into the classroom, maybe you could stop by:

  36. I love the rainbow names! Those are so cute and creative. I'm just starting my student teaching and I am so excited looking at fun activities to do with my kindergarten students!

    Check out my blog, I've been reviewing children's books for my literature class!

  39. LOVE this!!! Thank you for posting it, I am going to do it with my preschoolers AND as part of my teaching demo on adjectives for my grad school class.
