Little Passports: A Global Adventure

Have you heard of Little Passports: A Global Adventure?? I went to a children's consignment sale today with my husband and we found out about this AWESOME global adventure for children. I can't believe I am a teacher and I have never heard about this before....Has anyone else ever heard about this?!?!?

There are two different subscriptions that you can purchase: World Edition & US Edition. The World Edition Sam and Sophia travel to a different country each month and in the US Edition Sam and Sophia travel to two different states each month.

Each subscription comes with different items. I am planning on purchasing the World Edition for my firsties this year, which includes for the first month: a suitcase, world wall map, travel passport, fun stickers, activity sheet, and access to online games. Then every month thereafter, I will receive adventure letters from Sam and Sophia, fun souvenirs from each country, stickers for the suitcase, passport, and map, photos, activity sheets, and boarding passes to access more games and online activities.


I am SoOoO excited to use this with my firsties this year! You should totally check it out, if you haven't already! You can check it out HERE

Classroom and a FREEBIE

I finally get to go to school tomorrow to begin setting up my classroom. Its going to take me FOREVER because we had to pack everything in boxes and clean out the cabinets and the closets for the custodians to clean during the summer....CRAZY right?!?!?! I am not looking forward to unpacking everything, but I am SUPER DUPER excited because I am moving to a bigger room which means MORE space!! Here is a FREEBIE (I Have, Who Has? Time to the Hour) that I created this summer to use with my firsties to review time in a fun way. I hope you can use this in your classroom this year.
