Some of ya'll have emailed me about my line up chants that I made in the past.  I need to change the email that my blog is connected to because it is not one I check often.  So, if you have emailed me without any response I apologize.  But you can get the chants here.

I originally saw this on What the Teacher Wants Blog and changed it up a bit.  

There is also one on this blog to download.

Wow...where did the time go?

So, I guess I was terrible at blogging this year.  Wanna know why?  Here's a hint:

Yep, you guessed it.  I had a baby girl.  I was super busy being a full time mom and a full time teacher.  I was lucky to have 6 weeks off with my new little one and then it was back to school.  Flash forward to now and it is SUMMER.  What comes with summer?  MORE TIME!  So, back to the blogging world I go.  I hope to do better than I did last year, but I am a mom to young kiddos, so who knows what will happen.

During the summer break, I have tons of things that I want to accomplish (for school) all the while still being a good mommy...the list is endless... 

Here's whats on the plan so far:

1.  Read this book and revamp my Daily 5 time.  I have tons of pins on pinterest I need to look through.

2.  Make a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree - have been wanting to do this for years.  I finally have a carpet roll.  It's a smaller one, but that's ok. Maybe something like this:

This pic comes from Love Two Teach. I love how she made it magnetic.  Click on the picture to see her blog about it.

3.  Get my Donors choose project funded.  Click on the picture below to see my project.  It is for leveled books for our classroom library.  I don't have very many for my students to read during Read to Self time.  This project would really help out my students.  Please check it out.

4.  Make new curtains.  This will require me breaking out my new sewing machine.  Shouldn't be too hard, right?  My curtains right now look like this:  

Not a great picture but you can see they need some revamping.  I need more color, maybe a blue and green theme.  I'll have to see what Michaels or Hobby Lobby have.

And the list could go on.  Maybe I'll say this is part one of the list.  I will try to accomplish these before I move on to other things.
