Alphabet Sound Sort

Here is my latest project...Its an Alphabet Sounds Sort. I found this project on KndergartenKindergarten. Click here
I just used craft glue and scrapbook paper in colors to match my classroom and now its on to find things to go in each box.

 My next project...Crayon Wreath
I'm just waiting on my custom box of 64 Crayola Crayon to come in the mail. :)

I LOVE awesome finds!!

Wouldn't it be great if shopping was my job and teaching was my hobby...? Ummm........probably not!! Anyways I heard about some cool stuff being put out in a few of my faves stores and decided I needed to take the time to "get it while the gettin is good." Here is a picture of my goodies I got while I was out!!

I went to the Target Dollar Spot (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that place), the Dollar Store, and Michaels. At Target they had the small stackable bins, the small sentence strip white boards, and the birthday cakes. The Dollar Store had the larger stackable bins, the lacing shapes, the AWESOME foam cubes, the coins, and dice. And finally Michaels had the other foam shapes, the clear labels, the foam crabs and monsters, the cool zebra magnetic board and the Super cute Z hook which Im never able to find except the wrapping paper and zebra printed photobox which I found at T J Maxx! All for around $40!! :P Super excited to get all of my new goodies sorted through and put into my new classroom!! :) I hope everyone finds cool stuff too!

Clutter Free Teacher Toolbox

Hello everyone, now that school is out one would think our lives getting a little easier, a little slower, and a little more relaxing. Well guess what...NOT for me! So I decided to take today to sit down and create something I found on a pinterest awhile back. Its called a teacher toolbox. Super cute and you can personal pretty much any way you want to. This coming school year my classroom theme will be pink and green with zebra print. So this is what my teacher toolbox looks like...

If you want one to its SUPER easy. I just went to Lowe's and bought the Stack on 22 drawer storage cabinet. 

Measure and cut out scrapbooking paper or any paper that matches your room, add labels and you have yourself a super cute clutter free way to store all of your teacher necessities!! 

Kindergarten here I come!!!

There has been sooo much going on that I completely forgot about blogging... shhhh! Don't tell! :( lol Anyways I am so excited to post that I will be teaching Kindergarten this coming school year ALL BY MYSELF!!!! WHOOO HOOOO! Words can NOT describe how excited I am and it is definitely time! So hopefully as I plan, organize and start my dream of teaching I will be able to give back and share awesome ideas just as so many of you have. :)

Almost there!!

The countdown is on!!! I have less than 20 days left of school and the kids are absolutely going CRAZY! :) As the worksheets and structure slowly starts to dwindle the craft projects and "SPECIAL" days and on there way. At our school Kindergarten rotates through special stations. They have a beach station, carnival, pj or movie station among many others. The kids really enjoy it. With the year coming to a close I am trying to think of as many cute and cool projects to do with my kiddos. So with that said when I find good ones I will be sure to post them. Got great ideas too? You can post them here too!
