Classroom Photo Ideas
Last year I decided to continue a classroom blog & post yearly photos to share with the parents. After looking at the page views from my first year I knew they were really into it. If I were a parent (I wish :o(), I know I would love to see pictures of my child in the classroom. I posted pictures on this blog throughout the year but decided to have them all in one place for you! Unfortunately, I don't have pics of the first week but I do starting in September. I actually just used a boring old sign that said "I am a first grader". It was very cute don't get me wrong. I have something in the works that I will post soon. I've been making photo props all year long for my nuggets. All I did was take the graphics that I already had & just blew them up & printed them on card stock & taped a dowel rod onto the back of it. I also had props that I have picked up throughout the years. Here are some examples of different photos we took. This … [Read more...] about Classroom Photo Ideas

Classroom Set-up Day 1 & NEW peace themed stuff! Oh & a FREEBIE!
So I had only one day that I could go into my classroom this week. After spending about 8 hours in there, I could barely make it home. O...M....G was I SORE! My husband says "why are you sore?"....guess whose eyeballs were rolling?!? They just DON'T GET IT! I am on a road trip with my parents right now. I left my purse @ a Bob Evans in Lafayette, IN. & discovered it was missing 2 HOURS later! Can you say....UGH! I caused us over 3 extra hours of drive time...I felt horrible! I was too busy pinning & eating biscuits & gravy..yum...to notice I walked out without my purse!

If you LOVE lists then you'll enjoy this! I am just sitting here looking at the sale papers & I was writing on a bunch of post-it notes...Do I need a coupon? Is it an online sale?

$1 Monthly Memories
In celebration of almost 200 followers I am practically giving away this monthly memory book I created at my new TPT store. Last year when I tried out these adorable monthly pages I would pull them out at the end of each month. As a class we would brainstorm what happened in our lives & in our classroom that month. In August, my firsties are usually just drawing HUGE pictures and they might put a word or two JUST AS BIG AS THE PIC..lol. In June, the page is usually covered in full sentences with an itty bitty picture. I'm crying while I am putting these together. To see the progression in their writing and drawing is AH-MAZING! This is a wonderful keepsake that you can use in any elementary grade. ENDLESS possibilities are had with this product. All I ask you to do is follow me on TPT & leave me some awesome feedback. I am looking forward to more followers, more freebies, & more deals. LINK DIRECTLY TO MY MONTHLY MEMORIES HERE. … [Read more...] about $1 Monthly Memories
