Back 2 School BLOG HOP!

Hello!!

If you are anything like me the first time I saw "Blog Hop" I thought... this is way to complicated and I am not sure it will be worth it! Well I was WRONG! It is super easy! Just follow my link below to the next blog and receive a free item from them as well. On their blog they will list a link to another blog with another free item and so on! If you are looking for FREE fun ideas to get your classroom ready.. it will be MORE than worth it!

Have fun blog hopping and getting to meet some of the other amazing PA bloggers :)

My Free Item for you is...

Kheila & Jess have a great freebie! 

Today I have been up to MORE fun! 

My items are finally back from being laminated and cut out! Let the FUN begin!

This is another Pinterest Inspiration! They turned out great!

 I have had a lot of requests to see what I was going to put in these bins. I have labels on that you can check out. If you want these labels for yourself check out my TPT store! 

Desks

 Up close of the supply caddy. I got this ribbon at Hobby Lobby and love it!

It was easy to put on. I just used hot glue! put a few dots around the edges and 

a then glued on the table number. These are included in my Back 2 School Survival Kit!

Pretty happy with how it came out!

Tomorrow is another day... 

                                                      more to come! 

Back To School CRAZY lady ;)

Howdy friends!

It feel like forever since my last blog post! With the wedding I had NO time for school! (For those of you who love weddings like I do.. I will be posting pictures and the video when they are done!!)

So I am back in my classroom and the first thing I have to show you is the one thing I am SUPER excited about!

This is the Classroom Friendly Supplies AMAZING Pencil Sharpener!

1. I LOVE the color of this sharpener! It is a pretty blue and it comes in other colors too!

2. Those little black things on the top are for you to pinch together. Then you put the pencil in the whole. When you let go of them it hold onto the pencil nice and tight! Like the picture below!

This is the ONLY hand powered pencil sharpener that actually works! I cannot wait to get this in my writing center for my kids to use! It is so quiet it will not even disrupt my guided reading group!! Yay!!

3. Like i said above it is QUIET! That is a HUGE deal to me :)

4. It has a cool retro look and like most things that are retro it is sturdy! It is hard to find things for your classroom that are built to last! This little thing is like a tank machine ;)

5. You should but one! Classroom Friendly Supplies is THE place to find it!

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN

I have been Cleaning like a mad woman! I am loving getting ready for this year. I am excited for what this new school year has to bring! Setting up this year was much easier than last year! I have two first year teachers next to me and I do not miss that stress of figuring out what will work for you! But I am loving helping them and even getting ideas from them! 

So Here is all I have so far! I will post more.. I promise ;)

I am very excited for my desk arrangement this year! 

I saw this on Pinterest and HAD to try it! 

My storage bins still need labels

Top drawer: Daily Materials 

Middle drawer: Math Manipulatives

Bottom drawer: Student Portfolios

(please ignore the mess on the desks! Im trying to sort my student items :)

I LOVE organization! I am so excited my cabinets look so pretty! 

It is going to be a great year! 

More pictures to come!

See ya later Alligator! 

Pinterest LOVE!

Who is not addicted to or in LOVE with Pinterest??

It is by far the most fun and easiest way to plan for an event or lesson! I got this idea a week or so ago about having a movie themed end of the year party... thanks to pinterest my idea has now become an obsession! I just went out to the party store and bought some awesome props for the kids to use while we take our head shots, I have a helper making stars for the floor to put the students names on...

So here is a link to my pinterst board and here are some of the pictures! Are you thinking about having a red carpet party? Check out my TPT item and if there is anything you want to know or anything you want added I will be glad to help :)
