Planning for the NEW classroom

Yes, I said NEW. That's because I'm moving in the building, folks.

I am thrilled to be in the building and definitely feeling a little more relaxed this year. I MEAN REALLY...

1. I'm not sending a kid to college this year

2. I'm not moving from my town that I lived in for 14 years

3. I'm not leaving my school district that I LOVE and have been apart of for 14 years

4. I'm not closing on a new house

5. I'm not moving into a new house

6. My husband is not changing careers

7. My tween daughter is not going to a new school-leaving her friends she's had since Pre-K

Ummmm....that sounds like crazy train!

I was on that train last year.

I'm excited to be a little more relaxed and settled.

I like to make the things that I want to hang up around my room before I can get in my classroom. This year I'm going to keep the same colors (bc I don't want to spend any extra money) that I had last year.

I plan on doing a room tour when it's all put together but I just thought I'd share some of the decor here for those that are planning the same colors or need a little direction.

These are the things that you will find in the Back 2 School pack.

It's FREE this weekend so if you think you might like it or your still not sure what you need to put up then go ahead and get it while it's FREE.

Be Blessed,

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!! I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It. {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready. That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process. {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this: I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding). I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander. Super powerful. I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!! A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....

{FREEBIE} Friday!

These summer Fridays are coming and going a little too fast. I met with some of my teamies this week. Actually, it was 1st and 2nd grade......it's always nice to catch up and share ideas. We ate, talked, ate, stressed, laughed, and talked some more. Loved it! A get together just doesn't seem appropriate without a little back to school goodie, right?! And who doesn't LOVE some Bath and Body lotion??!! If you need to throw together a quick little gift please feel free to use these tags. { click here } Hop over to TBA to check out other { FREEBIES } this Friday. Have a SWEET day, friends!!

All Things Techy...and FREE

Well ya'll, I have so many wonderful things going on in the classroom and it's all things techy. I cannot wait to share a few of them with you. If you haven't stopped by our class blog then you should. { Mrs. Kirby's Kid's Blog } These authentic pieces of writing just make me so stinkin' happy. I constantly check my email throughout the weekend to see if they have written anything. Not because I told them to but because they want to. (insert happy teacher dance right here) I took my very first student bloggers to the school board and they told our school board what a blog is and why they think it's important. I gave each one of the kids that presented a small journal, sticky notes and pens to write their ideas about things they'd like to blog about. This is what their journals look like 2 days later.... These kids cannot get enough!! Look at all their THOUGHTS... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Look at...
