One more week. Yikes!

Hello Friends!

I have one week left before I get too meet my new first graders.

So it is now crunch time!

I have been busy at work in my classroom so I have a few pictures to share with you.

Here is my student classwork board

I am in love with it.  My friends over at Instagram helped me with the title and it looks amazing!

Here is my board with my phonics posters.  

After I got to school to laminate I realized that I was missing a few of them.  Ugh!!!!

Here they are if you are interested.

Just click on the pic.

 I have also been busy working on my Take Home folders.  

I love having this form of communication with parents because everything is all in one place.  

I made this in black and white because I can print it at school but I also have it in color for all you fancy people out there.  

Click on the pic to check them out!

The last project I have accomplished so far is painting my stools.  

They use to be a chevron pattern with white, black, and red which looked great with my Hollywood theme.

Since I am changing everything else I decided to spray paint these as well.  

They look great now just waiting to dry.  

I am headed to school on Monday and taking some final class pictures I cant wait to reveal evrything.

Have a great weekend!

Vacation, Classroom update and some freebies.

Hello Friends!

It has been a busy two weeks at my house.  So get ready for the rundown peeps.

Last week my family and I went on a little vacation.  We packed up the car and drove down to San Diego.
We went to Legoland and had a blast!

While in San Diego we enjoyed the beach.  We live in Las Vegas friends so whenever we get the opportunity to see the ocean we take it.  My boys had so much fun that I literally had to beg to leave.

                                  

Then we packed our little sunburned booties back in the car and drove back home!
We had a blast California until next time.

So the very next day I drove to school because I have issues and I stress about my classroom not being ready.  Like many of you do!

This my friends is what I found waiting for me.  My  husband put up my student work board before we left and my alphabet but everything else was a hot mess!!!

So I got to work!

This is my Birthday Bulletin board.

My word wall and color posters.  

(Im still working on uploading my word wall)

My writing board.  The punctuation posters are from my store. I got the writing center printable from A Cupcake for the Teacher.  

The writers eye printable are a little freebie that I remade from The First Grade Parade.  Just click on the link  or the picture to head on over to my store and download my updated version of the freebie.  

This is the front of my room.  I just love how bright and cheery it looks.

Alphabet line.  

Daily Schedule

I reached my first 200 followers on instagram so I made this little freebie.  Just click on the pic to head on over to my store and download.

Classroom progress and a Sale!

Hello Friends,

I have been making progress in my classroom.  Yay!  Not as much as I want to be making because the janitors are still cleaning so I have to leave early, but I know I am lucky to be able to go in whenever I want so I am not going to complain.  

The last 2 years I have had a Hollywood Theme which I loved but was looking for a change.  This was my writing bulletin board from last year.

It was super cute but didn't fit my new theme.  So I took it all down and changed the fabric and borders.  

This is what it looks like now:

I cannot wait to finish it.

Last year I had these posters above my guided reading table.  

The students used them sooooooo much!

These were adorable but again did not fit my new theme so I came up with these.

You can click the pic to head on over to my TPT.  

So now for the Sale!

I know alot of you are already creating Back to School units.

I created these two sets of clipart last year for the beginning of the year.  

They are now 20% off  so just click on the pic to head on over to my store.  

These 2 sets are

FREE!

 

Back to School Soon!

Hello friends!

I know some of you are back to school already and I am sorry!  I still have a whole month left which is not enough for my never ending to do lists.

The first thing I needed to do was get my fabric for my classroom.  I had a Hollywood theme last two years so I had a lot of red and yellow fabric and I was over it!  So I made a trip to Joann fabrics and was overwhelmed to say the least.  After an hour or so of debating on fabric I decided on these:

I love how they tie in all my colors.  So excited to get my crafting on and attempt a curtain for my room.  

Next on my to do list was to finish my wardrobes and clean off the top because when I left school I literally just shoved everything up there.  So today I got up early and headed into my classroom to find this:

The janitors cleaned my room last week and moved all of my stuff right in front of my wardrobes.

What!!!!

So I spent an hour moving the desks out my way.  Not the way I wanted to spend my morning!

So I covered my ugly wood panel wardrobes with this beautiful wrapping paper. 

I know that there is contact paper out there I can use but let me tell you I tried it and I do not have the patience for it.  I detest air bubbles and they were popping up left and right.  If you have the patience then more power to you.  As for me I looked in the party supply section at Walmart and found this wrapping paper for $3 and I laminated it and mounted taped it onto my wardrobe.  No air bubbles and it was super quick to put up.  I just lined it with sparkly duct tape and voila I was done!

I redid my word wall as well.  

I love the pop of color.  

I redid my weekly drawers.  Look how cute they came out.  They are from Learning in Wonderland just click on the link.

The last thing I did today was update my table cubbies.  They were looking pretty boring so I decided to cutesify them.  

             

Today was a pretty productive day.  I will go back to school tomorrow and get some more done.  

Im trying to get as much done this week because next week my family and I are heading to Legoland.  

We are so excited!

Ok goodnight friends.
