Amazing Week!

Image
By
If you couldn't already tell by the title of this post, I had an amazing week! I had one of those, "I love teaching and nothing is going to get me down kind of weeks." I've been needing a week like this for a while now. We were extremely busy all week and I didn't get time to take pictures of anything. We didn't really do anything post worthy, other than our Presidents Day activity. It's drying right now and once I hang it up on the wall, I will post pictures. Another exciting part is that one of our friends came back! I've had a student that has been afraid to come to class since November for personal reasons. He missed a lot of school and the days that he came to school, he spent them in the office or with the school counselor. I am happy to report that he is back and adjusting back to normal. Our class feels whole again. :-)

Now onto my week in pictures...

We have thouroughly been enjoying our carpet. I can't believe how much joy it has brought to our class. We just love it! As someone that was in my class said, "I love how your carpet is different from all the same 'ol carpets. It makes it stand out." I completely agree! This week we used it to sort our plural words in abc order and make it easier to match up.

This week we worked on plurals and my students did so well with it. We are continuing next week. I also found this cute freebie that I will be using in class next week.

Please pardon the creepy eyes. I am not on my computer with my photoshop so no cute sunglasses this week, just creepy alien eyes. :-) We have week long specials so my students had art this week. They made dragons for Chinese New Year. All of them came out so great!!

On a more personal note, I went shopping for craft supplies. I love crafting. If you didn't know I have another blog dedicated to crafting. You can click the picture below for a link to it! :-)

Here's just a cute little comic that I felt like sharing. I have a Dachshund and if you know the type of dog they are, you know this fits them to a T!!!

Then if I thought this week couldn't get any better, I get this email from my principal at the end of the day. I'm a firm believer that if you put out good thoughts, actions, and feelings, good things will come in return. I tried to focus of the positive this week and I didn't let anything get me down and it ended up being the best week I've had in a long time!

    Don't you just love when parents take the time to send in notes of appreciation? Especially, when they send them on to admins?? To me, that is the greatest gift they could give! Much deserved, I'm sure! :)

Monday Made It Planner Stickers

By
Today I am linking up for Monday Made It. It is my first time this summer. This summer has flown by and I can't believe that I only have one more week left until meetings and two weeks until I meet my new kindergarten students. Since the school year is sneaking up on me, I am in creative mode and crafting up a storm. As teachers, I feel like we all have something in common... a love for planning. Lesson planning, life planning, to do lists, etc. Over the past few months I have been creating my own planner stickers and I have become a little obsessed. I plan on making more as well as stickers for my teacher planner and lesson planner. If you are interested in some of my stickers, you can find them HERE . After taking a two year break from TpT, I have started updating my old products and creating new ones. One of those includes my Neon Chalkboard Classroom Rules. You can find them HERE for free in my TpT store.

Before Pictures

Many people that walk into my classroom think that it is such a clean and organized room. Clean... yes. Organized... NO WAY!! Here is what everyone sees my classroom as... I love my room and I spent a lot of time rearranging it to make it fit my needs as well as my students' needs. It is a very functional classroom, aside from the organizational piece that is missing. Today I am going to share with you my "secrets". Are you ready for them? I must say that they aren't pretty. Be warned, you are about to see my BEFORE photos.   This area looks fairly organized, except for the fact that I don't use ANY of it. I ocassionally lift up the fabric to get the students' reading books and a binder here and there, but other than that, these shelves are taking up prime real estate.   One of my few cabinets that lock is filled with supplies that don't need to be locked up.  Math centers that have never been used because I still have no clue how I want to organize them. ...

Plan With Me Sunday Blog Hop

Welcome to Plan With Me Sundays Blog Hop! This is my first time participating and I am so excited! I have been a planner all of my life and I absolutely love writing things down and organizing my life. This week I wanted to link up with Keeping up with Mrs. Harris and Kreative in Kindergarten because I love looking at other people's planners. Before I share with you my planner(s) I just want to let you know that I have THREE, yes three. One is my personal planner with my every day to do lists, chores, appointments, etc. My second is my business planner. I use this to organize things for work, my TpT store and blog, as well as my Etsy. The third planner is my Erin Condren teaching planner. I will not be sharing that planner this week, but you can learn all about it HERE . I will be sharing two of my planners here with you today. The first is my business planner. It is an Erin Condren planner in the vertical layout. I love this layout because it is broken down into thre...
