It's SLOWLY getting there!

Wow, there are only 26 days until school starts!   Where has the summer gone?  Most of mine was spent on vacation, but I have been spending some time in my room.   It's nowhere near done, but I am happy with the progress so far.   

Here's some picture of what I've accomplished so far. 

Thank you to the blog, What the Teacher Wants, for this fantastic idea.   They came out way cuter than I expected!  

Reading Beads are up and ready for readers to earn beads!

After is coming!   You can see a sneak preview in the next picture!

Love our Teacher Time area!

Okay that's it for now.   As I said above I am still working on the room.   My goal is to have it completely ready to go by August 7.  Wish me luck! 

New Obsession

I have become obsessed with collecting all of the Who is, Who was, Who were books!!!  I started out trying to buy them and then quickly realized that wasn't going to happen.  Why?  Because there are lots and lots of them!!  I already spend so much money on goodies for my classroom, that there is no way I can afford everything (as my husband always reminds me :))  I'm still going to try!!  These books are amazing for my kiddos and I've found more and more activities to go along with them.  So, if they are good for my kiddos then I have to do my best to collect them!!  That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!  LOL  

If you have any of these books and want to donate them to my classroom, I'm always willing to take them.  If your child has read them and they are sitting on the shelf collecting dust, feel free to send them my way!!  :)

Hint Hint......Barnes and Nobles has them for $5.99 each.  Hmmmmmm............

Haha, this is me everyday, so far!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!
