Let's Play!

Welcome to Our Primary Playground!  We are Carly and Jill, two primary grade teachers and sisters-in-law from Chicago.  After many months of joking about creating a blog together, we've finally taken the opportunity to get started over spring break (can we get a "what! what!" for spring break?!).  On Our Primary Playground, we hope to share some lesson ideas, activities, and just plain fun from our primary classrooms.  

Jill and Carly, sisters-in-law, teachers, and friends! :)

Here is a little bit about us:

Jill is in her ninth year of teaching.  She started out teaching fourth grade for a year and moved down to teach the little ones in kindergarten for two years.  She currently teaches first grade and has for the past six years.  She loves how much the kids learn and grow in first grade!

Carly is in her eighth year of teaching.  She started out teaching first grade for two years and has been teaching first/second multiage for the past six years.  She loves being able to get to know her little ones so well over two years!

To get this blog started off on the right foot, here's your first freebie from Jill. :)  Click on the image below to download a little silent e matching game from Jill's TPT store.  It's perfect for literacy centers!

If you're on spring break as well, we hope you have the opportunity to rest and relax with your loved ones.  We're looking forward to starting this journey together! :)
