I’m so excited to be writing my first official blog post. I
have been thinking about joining my favorite teachers in the blogging world,
but I was scared! But this summer I decided I would take the leap. So here
goes:
Summers are for vacations right? Well not for us this year
instead we did a ton of projects, mainly ones around the house. My extremely
WONDERFUL hubby fixed our rotting door, built the bug a big girl bed, and tiled
the kitchen backsplash! Yay!
I was also lucky enough to squeeze in a few projects for
myself or rather my classroom, the biggest one being designing this blog. I
looked at purchasing one, but decided to give it a try myself and despite being
frustrated many a time when coding didn’t work the way I had hoped I’m all
done. I have Megan at I Teach What’s Your Superpower to thank. Her tutorials
were a life save and extremely helpful.
Additionally, I turned all my file cabinets and those of the previous teacher into binders. I had one she had four. Many I had gone through last
year, but I had not done a whole lot with the stuff in them. I tossed tons of stuff,
especially doubles or outdated worksheets. Then I organized by topic and theme.
I’m so excited how they came out and the best part was the awesome EDITABLE
binder covers I found by Mandy Neal. Love the chalkboard mixed with the bright
colors! BONUS it include spines in two different sizes.
Next, I wanted to create some things for my NEW classroom,
yes it is being built. My hubby cut these adorable pencils, which I painted and wrote
my assistant and my names on.
We have a Restore store where I scored this awesome table
($10) and those plastic folder for take home folders ($0.15) Score!!
I covered the table with an older Curious George book. Look
how cute it turned out! the bug helped and loved the gluey modpodge.
Still to go are create seats, curtains, and flower boxes but we will see…
