Yes I Am Still HeRe! Classroom Decor/Storage.

Gosh it has been so long since I posted . . .I have suffering a bad case of the "tireds" and the "blahs".  Have you ever experienced this? Low energy, lack of sleep, blah, blah, blah . . .I'm sure you know the story. 

Anyway, I am trying to pull out of it and get back with my routine! I am starting this by actually posting something!

I have 26 students this year and they are a super cute class. How is your year going?

I took some photos of the classroom and I want to share them with you today!

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good day and have fun things planned for the 4th of July. We are heading out of town with family to see a big show for the holiday. Our son is in this band (trumpet player):

Ladybug Classroom Theme

Hey everyone! How are you today?

 I send all of my prayers and best wishes to Boston. I have been riveted to the TV following the tragic events of the last week.

I have recently changed my mind about my classroom theme next year. I had intended to do School Girl Style's Primary Apple theme, but am now going to do School Girl Style's Ladybug theme, integrating some of my own stuff.

I think it will be super cute! This morning, I started a Pinterest board so that I can keep track of things and ideas that I find . . .if you know of some fun ladybug stuff, let me know!

I also made a little framed sign to get me started . . .

My husband and I have also been really busy at home. I just refinished a bench with homemade Chalk Paint, he made two batches of homemade soap and we are in the process of changing out the fixtures in our kitchen and bathroom sinks. I am starting to post some of those projects on my home blog. 

Have a good week!

Beginning Sentence Scramble, Zebra Print Canvas Bins

Hey everyone! Gosh, it is Friday! Sorry, I haven't posted very regularly the last couple of weeks. You know how it is when school starts . . .busy, busy, busy! We did a fun activity yesterday to introduce the kids to working in a small group. We began learning about the concept that a capital letter always begins a sentence, and there is always punctuation at the end. After practicing this, I gave each group a very simple, 3 word sentence that I had pre-programmed and cut up. Then they had to solve the mystery of what the first word was, the middle word and the last word by looking for the clues of capital letter and punctuation. They then glued them on strips of construction paper and we read all of the sentences as a class. Here is a picture of the finished project.

Also, if you are decorating your room in black/white or zebra print, Big Lots has some super cute canvas bins in a black/white zebra print. . .

Have a great day!

Classroom Pics Galore

Hey everyone! We are back from our awesome 10 day vacation to San Francisco! Super fun, but isn't home    always the best place to be?! I really should have made a list of the things that I still needed to do upon returning because now . . .I have no idea what I had planned before we left. Have you ever experienced this? Complete mental fog. :) I basically had most of my room ready ahead of time, but it is all of those 100 little things that we all have on those ongoing lists. Do you know what I mean? I think teachers always have one of those mental lists going. 

Anyway, while my brain is trying to catch up with the real world, I spent today working on some arranging in my classroom. I am including some pics in the post. Sorry they aren't the best . . .

I also have a picture of my finished binder and plan book

I have listed a new color scheme of my Teacher Notebook Dividers and Calendar in my TpT Store.

Here is a peek . . .

Have a wonderful evening! Have you been watching the Olympics?
