Week 1 and DONE!

I don't know about you, but the first week of school was an absolute fabulous blur!!!  It was the best and busiest week yet! Between finishing up my classroom, the TPT sale, and meeting my 16 sweet kinder-babies, I don't know where the time went! My classroom turned out absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to post some pictures (to be revealed soon, I promise!)!!!  The TPT sale was great! Thank you to everyone who shopped at my store! I even found a few goodies myself! I LOVE my class!  They remind me of why I teach kindergarten! It's so exciting to see their faces light up when they enter "big kid school!" I spent countless hours planning crafts, books, and activities to keep them busy but instill a LOVE for coming to school! I am working on a back to school unit (a little late I know, but hopefully it will help out next year- if you even want to think that far!)  I'm so excited for all of the fabulous things to come this year- I just know it will be the best one yet!!!!

In my back-to-school haze, I was inspired to design a cute Rainbow Colors Chevron Classroom Decoration Pack- perfect for a colorful classroom! I love my "Sweet Shoppe" but I am secretly jealous of some classrooms bright color scheme!!! To purchase this cute decoration pack, loaded with cute goodies, click here or visit my TPT store!!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous week back and wishing everyone a great year!

 

Crazy about Chevron!

I don't know about you, but I am OBSESSED with chevron!!!  I love it on my clothes, in my home, and of course, in my classroom!!!!! Cute light pink chevron is a perfect match for my sweet shop classroom theme!!! With my love for chevron, I had a hard time finding anything cute in light pink! So,  I made some cute stuff!!!  While I was at it, I made the same pack in red, blue, and green! It's seriously so cute!!!  You can get your pack at my Teachers Pay Teachers store by clicking here.

Classroom Jobs- A cute way to display!

I love giving my students jobs in my classroom! It gives the students a chance to take ownership of our classroom!!!  They learn to clean up after themselves, keep the room tidy, and how to have responsibilities. My classroom jobs are hanging on a ribbon- I love using ribbons in my classroom!!!  I clip the students names to the jobs with a clothespin. It's a great and easy way to change out jobs weekly and sometimes daily!

I made these cute job cards for my classroom and decided to make some to share in my TPT store!  I made them in red, green, blue, yellow, and pink chevron with the cutest kids graphics!!! They can be purchased in my TPT store by clicking on the picture or clicking here. ($3)

ENJOY!

 

Adding a POP of color!

As a kindergarten teacher, I LOVE to use color in my classroom!!!  Last year, I used the Dots on Chocolate big dots for my table numbers. I had them hanging from my ceiling with a cute ribbon. I thought they were the cutest things ever!!! 

So... I have been working hard in my classroom this summer- I can't seem to stay away!!!  I found these cute fans that I thought would be so cute hanging in my room!!!!  I grabbed 5 of them (one in every color)!!!  It's crazy how such a small change can add such a beautiful POP of color in my classroom!!! I found the fans at Party City and they had every color under the sun (but orange...I couldn't find an orange one!)

 

 

What are some things you do in your classroom to add a POP of color?

What a way to WELCOME- Cute pennant banners!!!!

Transformation Thursday...Classroom before and after!!!

In honor of "Transformation Thursday," I thought I would take a look at how far I have come with my classroom!!!  I have not worked in my classroom for next year yet, but I am sticking with the same theme.  Just a little background...This will be my 8th year teaching and my 3rd at this school!

I was SOOOO excited to start at a new school! However, when I walked in my classroom, I wanted to CRY!!!  There was NOTHING!! I quickly snapped out of it when I realized the potential!!! It is a very large classroom- great for all of my center work!!!!  There was a brand new Smart Board and 3 HUGE bulletin boards! (I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could!)

Here are some crazy pictures I took when I first walked into my new classroom:

After 3 years of hard work, I think I FINALLY have it like I like it (for now at least!!!)
What it looks like now:

 

Much better, right?!!!! I can't wait to get in there and get everything ready next year!!!!  I love this time of year!!!!!!

Enjoy!
