I guess this year was super busy and crazy all at the same time. It was over too fast. Here I am with my youngest napping and my oldest entertaining herself with her toys. What else would I do? BLOG!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It really looks sad once you pack everything away, but I like how it's a fresh start for the next year. I already have things that I will change, but for now I look through pinterest for fun ideas and different classroom arrangements.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really am excited to see what happens. I will be taking a break from being the inclusion classroom next year, which makes me sad and happy all at the same time. My oldest daughter will be starting kinder next year and this change will hopefully help me stay more focused on her and the success that she has. I am very excited and scared all at the same time. She is growing up too fast.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hopefully I can get some projects done even though I brought absolutely nothing home to work on. (score one for me/mommy)</span></div>

The first one I started was to make giant floor pillows. I saw a post on pinterest and bought the fabric last year, but never got around to it. Maybe because of my two little ones running around. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the post. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am almost done with the first pillow. They are going to be BIG. I think 2 of my kinders and fit on them at a time. I am going to try them out this year and if they cause problems I will just make smaller ones next year. </span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finished the pillow and it is SOOO big. I love it. I am still deciding if I need to make another or make 2 smaller pillows. </span><br />

This time for a classroom carpet that will become a place to sit and another learning space to use during station and small group time. It's expensive, because classroom rugs are not cheap. Most schools already have them, but mine does not. I have been using a simple blue rug I got from big lots, but that one isn't lasting. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time for something new...we have carpet, but that too has seen better days. I wanted to try sit spots, but those too are expensive. Anyway, to try and get it out there more, here is my project. Click on the picture to help my project.</span><br />

I try to do better each year, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I guess being a mother of 2 and a teacher doesn't exactly leave you with much free time. It's summer again and I find myself making plans to do things for my room and not really getting much done. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This coming year I am moving to a new room. I managed to snap a few pics at the end of the year after I put all my goodies in. This room belonged to a friend of mine that got moved to 2nd grade for the past year. She had to move rooms so I moved up into hers. My room is now becoming pre-K. My furniture is on the window side of the room and the 2nd grade furniture is on the door side. I am hoping it gets moved before I get to get to decorating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With this room I get more bulletin boards and a better Promethean board. I am happy!!!</span><br />

Wanna know why? Here's a hint:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BRbyqeJosY4/U6x58uhZEVI/AAAAAAAAH_g/XIR3y-m3Gpo/s1600/20140124_110421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BRbyqeJosY4/U6x58uhZEVI/AAAAAAAAH_g/XIR3y-m3Gpo/s1600/20140124_110421.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's whats on the plan so far:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Read this book and revamp my Daily 5 time. I have tons of pins on pinterest I need to look through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51adXKWfY3L._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-v3-big,TopRight,0,-55_SX278_SY278_PIkin4,BottomRight,1,22_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lovetwoteach.com/2011/06/my-version-of-chicka-chicka-boom-tree.html"><img height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lE9fB6iqKoU/TfU99EPPz_I/AAAAAAAAAWE/-26jiHQVQKc/s200/chica.png" width="194" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This pic comes from <a href="http://www.lovetwoteach.com/">Love Two Teach</a>. I love how she made it magnetic. Click on the picture to see her blog about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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 <a href="http://www.donorschoose.org/project/ready-to-read/1244562/?rf=email-system-2014-06-proposal_approve-teacher_576012&challengeid=40496&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proposal_approve">check it out</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.donorschoose.org/project/ready-to-read/1244562/?rf=email-system-2014-06-proposal_approve-teacher_576012&challengeid=40496&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proposal_approve"><img alt="Ready to Read!!" height="200" src="http://s3.donorschoose.net/donorschoose-storage/dc_prod/images/user/medsmall/u576012_mdsm.jpg?timestamp=1346611829000" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3rbJJ5V1j9U/UDWYOqlvcOI/AAAAAAAABNY/U3nxtyW1Jp8/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3rbJJ5V1j9U/UDWYOqlvcOI/AAAAAAAABNY/U3nxtyW1Jp8/s1600/007.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

And there you go...that is my classroom in a few pics. Teachers start back tomorrow and we have 7 days of inservice/training. Our kiddos start the 27th. I am excited and nervous to go back, but it is going to be a great year!<br />

Yayyy! There is still a LONG way to go. Thanks to my super husband for moving my furniture for me and my sweet little girl for keeping herself occupied while mommy worked. Good thing I have tons to keep her occupied -kindergarten is full of games, toys, and fun things to play with. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just delivered today. I am so excited to use it in my classroom to house and organize my small group supplies. Speaking of classroom I get to get in on Thursday. I am so looking forward to it...but not because this time around I can't move the furniture (did I mention I was 15 wks prego) so now I have to have a clear plan of where I want everything to go or else my hubby will be moving things around all day, like I normally do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't done much school related other than make a long list of all the things I need to get done. </div>

Yep- I have been out of the loop a while.Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15499172429845785102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940120940321462498.post-73383652107969971882013-07-16T07:30:00.001-07:002013-07-16T07:30:42.247-07:00Been missing muchOk, ok, so it has been a LONG time since I have visited the blogging world. This past year I started at a new school and let's just say it was like my first year teaching all over again. So many things to make, so many new things to learn. Things have finally calmed down a bit since summer started. Well, ok not really...I have been running around after my 2 1/2 year old. <br />
<br />
So, I finally decided after a little pinteresting, blog stalking, and TPT viewing that I would get back into blogging. So here I am!!!<br />
<br />
I think it is finally time to face the facts...school will be starting sooner than I would like and maybe it's time to get some things done. Oh, did I also mention that my laptop crashed...I got that back finally too! <br />
<br />
Let the adventures begin...more to come with activities, pictures, and adventures. <br />

What I did finish, I forgot to take pictures of. I wasn't much though but I did manage to score some cubbies! <br />
<br />
On another note, when I ended up inheriting some old foam floor tiles. No rug in my room. So I decided to write up a project on Donors Choose. I had one funded last year, but I have changed schools so this would impact my new class. <br />
<br />

Once the 3rd grade furniture was out and mine was in, I could arrange things. The tables still need to be lowered and I have shelves to bring in, but looking better so far.Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15499172429845785102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940120940321462498.post-18224997487944729062012-08-11T21:35:00.000-07:002012-08-11T21:35:13.947-07:00Classroom...Day 1 and 2<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

When I came in on Monday I really didn't get much done but covering the boards and emptying boxes. My room had the 3rd grade furniture and no kinder stuff anywhere in sight. Luckily during the next few days my teammates helped me hunt down and move the kinder furniture into my room. <br />

So I am going through boxes and boxes of things in my garage and I came across these poor souls. <br />

Boy have they seen better days. These were something I created a couple of years ago. I think it's time to replace them. A few days ago I saw these on Pinterest. Click on the pic to go to Kinderdi's blog to see other fun sight word ideas.<br />

My old ones are made with foam and I used glitter glue to write the words. Her's are on cardstock. She laminated them and taped them to the back of the stick.<br />
<br />
Here's a pic of what I came up with. I only printed the first 2 pages, my ink is running out, but I plan to use other colors than what I have pictured. All I did was print them out, laminate them, and tape the wooden stick to the back. Hopefully they will last, if not, I can always print more.<br />

I used the sight words that my district uses in the language arts adoption. I think I will put them in my pointer can as we learn them.<br />
