Currently I Am...

trying to figure out what I want to do in my classroom.  I have always walked into my room with a plan but this year I've been a little undecided.  Do I want a theme?? --or not?? I think a shopping trip to Mardel's will help with this little problem.  I decided to spend a lot of my day in the classroom.  The air has not been turned on yet and it was HHHOOT! My sweet family was all busy, so no GUILTY feelings as I spent most of my day in my classroom.  
During my 3 hours at the school I was able to put my mailboxes together and hang the small scrap sheets to display work.  Ummm.....that's not much.  Maybe putting your classroom together should be an Olympic event and then I might move a little faster.  ;)
As I went through my tubs, I came across two sweet gifts from past students that I have the need to share.


Isn't this precious??  Yes, it's my name!!  The parent that made this for me also works at my school, so she was able to sneak these pics of my class.  I just treasure this. 





Then I came across this poem.  A student from last year and his family sat down and wrote this precious poem.  It makes me smile.













Can you tell why I didn't get much done today??  Yea, I easily get sidetracked.  Not good.  Focus! Focus! Focus!




My post tonight was originally started because I wanted to link up with Farley to be apart of the August currently......but I got a little sidetracked. 

So, August Currently.....I am 


OH, and I NEED to add printer ink to my back to school must haves.  Geez!-I'm wearing the printer out.  :/


I better hurry and publish this or I'm going to break a blog rule and end up posting twice tomorrow.  


Good night, sweet friends!!

    Love your black and white theme. I found your through the Currently linky. Would love to see what new borders you buy. Saw some really cool new stuff at the teacher store that would look great with your theme. I am a new follower. Come check out my blog when you get a chance. I teach 2nd grade too.

    I just ordered ink off of Amazon for the first time. I've read other posts from bloggers using it. I'm about to print a whole batch of color stuff, so I'm crossing my fingers that it works! I'm a new follower and found you through the linky.

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...
