The way the classroom was at the beginning worked well, but I really am loving this setup! Remember, it's all about how you use your space! My room really isn't big at all, I just use it right! view from the door  the back wall with some posters on it the cubbies with our character pumpkin projects & monster writing the front of the classroom with the smartboard before mounting the front part of the classroom where a laptop will be, and my computer is another view of the back  a view of the back and side where my desk is view of the other side of the classroom ..read more

My goal for the past year, has been to get back to blogging. I really do love sharing ideas about what is happening in my classroom, which has changed so much. The past year, year and a half really, has been the craziest whirlwind ever. So many things have happened and I'm definitely no where near I would have ever expected, because of both good and not so good reasons. Needless to say I'm here, and I'm hoping maybe I still have a few people out there who are interested in seeing what's going on in my classroom. I"m managing a half honors, half regular (well more like 3/4 honors, 1/4 regula ..read more

So, over than being completely overwhelmed since basically August 1st... I have gotten a little crafty since school started. Although I probably could have been a little craftier but I've been wearing out my cowboy boots like it's my job. Anyone in the south looking for a roomie? Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Chris Cagle, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, Thompson Square have all seen my cowboy boots lately. Oh, don't worry Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan have seen them twice ;) Justin Moore will see them this upcoming weekend as well!! So needless to say country music has distracted me a bit, a ..read more

She does exist! I have been totally non-existent lately. I'm actually excited for school to start next week and things to calm down! Is that said I think things will calm down when school starts? It will though ;) Anyway I'm here to share my classroom. It's mostly done... there are of course some things that need to be finished and improved, but for the most part finished! They are totally not in order which makes me sad, but it's a huge pain to move them around, so bear with me! :) {view from the door}   {weekly plans organizer} {miscellaneous decorations}  {recess & ..read more

I'm very torn, part of me is extremely jealous that some of you are already in your rooms, the other part of me says it still means it's summer break! Because the second I step through those doors it's all over! Anyway I don't get in my building/classroom until next Friday, so I've been working hard the past few days trying to get some stuff together (that's also my disclaimer to those of you waiting on custom orders). Until I get into my room and set up my stuff, I took some pictures so you can see what I'm thinking. I've gone very back and forth about what I'm doing. I really didn ..read more

That only gives me about a week to start fresh. I'm in the middle of trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to do. I've changed my mind 4324 times. No joke. That. Many. Times. I promise I have some new ..read more

So I've been so busy trying to get as much of my stuff uploaded as possible, redo my store, begin a TPT store, and try to do custom orders for everyone else, that I've completely neglected to even have the slightest thought about my own room. Well unfortunately for me, that seems to be backfiring on myself. School starts in about 3 weeks, not to mention there's 3 days of institute, and all the time getting my room finished. Maybe I should say started? I'm starting fresh in a new room, so I'm starting to feel the pressure. Anyway throughout summer I've found things I wanted to make for my room ..read more

Omiword ya'll... I could post for 3 hours on everything that's been going through my head! Okay so I promise this time nothing bad has happened to force me to neglect my little old bloggy, it's more of a good thing. A new person has come into the picture a while back that has been taking me away from all of my bloggy friends. I have to admit he's taken away some of my time from here, but he's kinda great and exactly what I needed, even though ya'll may not like it ;-) So anyway between that, the fact that for a while I couldn't stop laying outside in the hot summer sun, and the fact that I've ..read more
