This year was our 3rd year for our end of the year awards ceremony. I have to say this year was the BEST yet! We are lucky enough to have a brand new beautiful school. We also have a gorgeous stage that our staff signs up for. I had big plans at the end of last year to do plays, have a mother's day tea, etc. Well...the year just slipped away. I had to get these first graders on this beautiful stage! They did have a performance for the first time this year that was produced by our music teacher. They did awesome! They loved the stage! If you follow me on IG then you know I have an obsession with black and gold right now. When I am going through a phase it spreads to every part of my life. I had a vision of what I wanted it to look like. I will leave all the links at the end of this blog post for everything I purchased. Decorations everywhere! The lights above are called "fairy lights". I originally purchased these for my … [Read more...] about End of the Year Awards Ceremony

October is Spooktastic! Tons of pics!

This time of year all the teachers are burned out & even the students are. We've been in school for almost 50 days...but who's counting. This also gave me an excuse to make something with all the Melonheadz graphics I own. I.CAN'T.STOP. I am obsessed with anything & everything she makes!!!! So I decided to make some new candy bar wrappers. I had such good response & feedback with my EOY Candy Bar Wrapper Awards & they were so easy, … [Read more...] about October is Spooktastic!

End of the Year Ideas Summer Linky Party- Week 1
Some of my blogging BFF's from Freebie-licious and I are doing weekly Summer linky parties. We hope you will stay tuned & gain lots of ideas for next school year! I posted a few sneak peek pictures on my last blog post. We had a totally peaced out partaaay! I had the BEST class this year & they worked so hard...plus they filled our classroom bucket full of nuggets which means....partaaay! If you don't follow me on INSTAGRAM, you should. I post pics immediately on there & I am kind of addicted....really? Like I need another thing to be addicted too! JEEZ! Here is how it started............... Well, it started last year when I changed my classroom from a Dr. Seuss theme to a peace/hippie theme. My little nuggets, even the boys, slowly became obsessed with peace signs, tie dye, flower power...yo! Seriously, I should have been born during the 60's. I've always been a closet hippie since high school...don't laugh. My husband and I still … [Read more...] about End of the Year Ideas Summer Linky Party- Week 1
