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,

Good Things

What happens when we give kids the chance to share something important to them? This is one of the many things that I loved about Capturing Kids Hearts from Royse City. I completely understand the importance of giving the kids the opportunity to share something good for a multitude of reason but I also know it takes time. Guess what? I found a way for the kids to share their "good things" first thing in the morning. We call it our Daily News and we do it on a padlet wall with our ipads. Have you heard of Padlet? We call it our Daily News but it's done on the iPads and is immediately projected onto our whiteboard to read throughout the day. And it is FREE!! All you need to do is set up an account. You can go here to create your own. Each morning I open a new padlet wall, super easy. Scan the QR code with a few ipads. The QR code is on the right side when you click the share button. The kids are now re...

A New Year...

I cannot believe we are ending 2014 and beginning a new year. I'm anxious, excited, nervous, scared.... Freaking OUT . <-not really. 2015 is going to bring so many new changes whether I am ready for them or not, so I guess I better get ready. This new year will bring my baby's graduation and life as a college student. Wha?! His heart is set on USAFA and we should hear from them in January. He is seriously marking off the days on his calendar. He has also been offered a paid visit to West Point Academy in New York and will fly out to visit them in March. I think the key word right now is PATIENCE. He's put in all the work and now he has to be patient. {I have to be patient} I obviously love pictures more than him. I feel like that will be my mantra for the 2015 year. {PATIENCE} I plan to finish my masters this spring. {patience} I have one more class and my ARP to complete. Oh, and there is this big test that 4th gra...

{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!!
