The Where and Why of our Classrooms

Well..we are a day behind but are linking up with our WHERE and WHY along with Blog Hoppin'.

Our classrooms are coming together with a few days left before we report for PD next week.  Tina decided to switch her theme this year.  She's had a cute movie theme for the last couple of years and decided to go with some black fabric backgrounds and bright colors.  It's coming along great!

Amy's room has blue paper backgrounds and some pops of color as well.  We are very lucky to have big, open rooms!


As for me, I am sticking with my same theme as last year.  I bought a pack from Hope King and loved the way it looked with my black backgrounds...so why mess up a good thing, right?!  I still have to add a few things, but I like to put kids work up during the first couple of days of school to decorate it a little more.



We've decided to show you how we stay organized with our Classroom Library.  This is Amy's room.  She's moved her bookshelves into this new, cute spot this summer!  

The CUTEST part of this pic is her sweet little love snoozing away while mama works!  What a doll.

Here are a sample of the book bins.  They are labeled by theme.

All of the books are then labeled with a small sticker that has the basket number.  This allows for students to easily place the books back where they found them every single time!  LOL Wishful thinking.

And I'm off...going to go check out the BOOST sale on TpT one last time before bed.  We've posted several new units this week including a bundle of EMERGENCY SUB PACKS.  Grab them quick for a great deal!

Sister 3 In Connecticut

My boyfriend and I took a road trip to visit his grandparents in Connecticut last week. Our dog, Jack, was bright-eyed at 5:00 am when we hit the road! Me on the other hand... not so much. I'm really not a morning person.


13 hours later we arrived!


As a teenager my boyfriend had taken sailing lessons... so sailing was first on our list of things to do because I'd never gone before. It was so much fun! We had the perfect weekend for it. 



Jack had his own little "island."  He loved laying in the sun, soaking up some rays.


Connecticut is a beautiful state!  We had a wonderful visit with grandma and grandpa.

When we got back I was shopping at Walmart when I found these chairs and tent! I brought them home and had my boyfriend set them up so I could get a feel for how big they'll be in the classroom. He played along and set up the tent... that's why I love him!  They will be perfect for my camping theme next year!
