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,

First Linky!!! Monday Made It.....

Well, this is my. very. first. linky. linkup. (GASP!) It took my friend Michelle to explain this to me. really?! .......I was just kinda afraid I'd mess something up. BUT now that I've explained that this is my first time, I'm sure y'all will be forgiving. right? Obviously, I have been busy crafting but nothing for my classroom (soon....very soon, I will) so I thought, what a perfect linky to begin with. I'm linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolic This little craft is bitter sweet. My lil' sass and I transformed her Disney Princess toy box (once again, i feel the need to explain our floor renovations....please excuse our mess) into a big girl storage chest. A friend bought me some contact paper from TJ Max and that is what I used to cover the lid. She LOVES it! Okay in other news, our swimming pool motor blew up (smoke and all) on the very first Saturday we were out of school. Geeezz!!--and it took...

Sight Word Book Freebie

I love to use my word wall in the classroom for lots of activities but I REALLY, REALLY like it when the kids use it as a reference. (kinda the point, huh) :) - Yea, I know. This year I have put together a personal book for each kiddo that they will be able to reference and I can quickly use it to assess their sight word recognition. These sight words specifically follow the Texas Journeys Reading Basal for 2nd grade. Anyone can use this but I've used the 300 sight words in the order of this series. Each Friday I will listen to the students read the list of of words to me. I plan to use a different highlighter for each week to mark a word that the student struggles with and we can spend more one on one time in small group for mastery. I'm going to place the booklets on rings like you see above and hang from hooks on the back of a cabinet. My goal this year is to FEEL like I'm on top of things...................rather than slow...
