The New School Year is in Full Swing!

After a week and half we are beginning to settle into a routine in my classroom. Of course, I am still assessing and determining what my students' needs are, but I am excited about this school year and looking forward to seeing the growth my students will make. Now that I am a TpT seller, I am also wanting to keep adding products to my store.  I am still learning how to juggle my work responsibilities, my TpT store, my kids endless sporting events, and church activities. I know I have to prioritize, and am thrilled to be a part of all of those things even when it is a little hectic. With the start of school I have attended baseball games, soccer games, cheerleading events, and EVEN finished a new product. Check out my latest set of number posters with the trendy Boho bird designs.

Cute Owl Reading Center

I love the calming colors of green and blue along with the brightness they bring to a classroom.  I wanted a punch of cuteness in my reading center so after finding some adorable owls made from paper lanterns on pinterest I decided I needed them too.  The paper lanterns are fairly cheap for a set of 3 from Hobby Lobby.  I also wanted to bring in a rustic element with the stick.  My students love them but think they look more like Angry Birds.  My books weren't quite organized in one picture, but you can get the idea.

New McGraw Hill Wonders materials are ready for 2nd Grade Teachers

I have just completed this set of vocabulary words including definitions, high frequency word cards, and spelling word cards.  They are a great addition to any 2nd grade classroom using the Wonders reading series.  As the year progresses, I will complete the other units for the rest of the year.  My students will start in a little over a week, and I feel prepared with all of my unit 1 materials ready to go.

I have wanted to share this forever, and I finally am.  This is one thing in my classroom that I get more compliments on.  While the setting is not ideal because desks are still stacked for summer floor cleaning, I knew it was now or never.  So here goes!  The easiest most colorful curtains I have ever had are beach towels.  Yes, just a simple beach towel turned horizontally and hemmed on one side.  (Don't worry if you don't sew.  I don't either.  Just ask a friend or family member.)  Add a tension rod and you are ready to go.  Mine have been used for 4 years now and they still look bright.  They are so easy to wash and they don't wrinkle either.  I wish the pictures were better, but you can get the idea.  

Well I am hoping to get back to blogging a little this summer.  It seems that half of the summer has already flown by.  Please check out my TpT store too as I have recently started selling on there.
