Back To School Projects

I don't know about y'all but the end of summer is sneaking up on me! I find myself so wrapped up in what I need to to prepare for the beginning of the year that I am forgetting it's *still summer*. So I am trying to slow down just a bit! I wanted to share a few projects that I've been working on...and then I'm headed to the pool ;)
My wonderful husband offered (haha) to *help* or completely make this cute bench! First, he used left over wood to make a bench frame! 


Next, he painted the frame an off white color. 


Then, we went to the local craft store and purchased fabric and a cushion! With my teacher discount, I only spent $21!!! 
 He placed the foam on top of the board and secured it with a tad bit of contracting glue. Then he wrapped the fabric around the board and began to staple it (using a man's stapler haha).



This is the finished project! A side from letting the paint dry, it only took about 45 minutes! My husband is amazing and I can't wait to put this cute bench in my classroom! He measured it out so my fabric bins could fit right underneath it!! 



My next project has been trying to get myself completely organized for the new school year! Last year one thing that I struggled with is sending grades home after each check point. I added these forms to my Classroom Forms packet. 


I created a check point sign off sheet for each subject. This way, I have data that my parents saw their child's grades! I use these little forms for assessments at the end of a skill. I've created several versions of this form to fit your needs. The one pictured is sorted by SOL. These are the standards we use here in VA.   I use these check point folders to send home to parents to notify them of the grade their child made. This helps with my documentation because parents have to sign next to each score for their child. This way, if a parent ever claims "they didn't know" their child was performing poorly, I have documentation protecting me :)  I attach the forms in my packet to a file folder for each student, then I record their score, and send it home. The child returns the folder to me with a parent signature next to the score :)If you've already purchased Classroom-Forms-and-Binder-Mega-Packet-, just visit my purchases to receive the update!




What new ideas are you working for the new school year??

Exhaustion at it's finest


So! A little update! As you know, I've been without a full time teaching position for a little over a year. My family moved last fall when my husband was transferred to VA. In the meantime, I've been volunteering, substituting and doing anything to just get out there and be involved in the schools. I've had a couple of *almost* jobs, and then on HALLOWEEN, I got the BEST phone call..job interview! I was so excited. I interviewed that day and was offered the job the next morning! I'm so happy to say that I'm returning to....my roots..my soul...FIRST GRADE!!!!

 So since November 1st, I have been running around like crazy!! 

We first had to move everything in..


I'm not sure if my husband was excited about my job...or that the fact that he could actually SEE his boat now ;)


Then, the real work began....





I can't even believe I'm posting this picture! But it shows the working stages of putting together a classroom!! I know you all know  how crazy it can be!!! 

These aren't the best pictures, but here goes my room thus far. I have a few more finishing touches to add..



My Library Book Check Out System. Go check out this FREEBIE

I love A Cupcake For The Teacher's Behavior Chart


I used several of my sweet friend  Erica Bohrer's Resources



This is one of my favorite spaces..and I still have to add to it. I used command hooks to make up my own anchor chart storage area. 
  

My Library 







So now, I'm off to finish up my lesson plans and print my centers for the month! I'm using so many resources! I will share that with you later in the week!!! Be sure to stop by my little shop, you might find a little sale happening PLUS some freebies I added!!!

For the Love of Chevron!!!

So I don't know about ya'll but at my former school we had to have EVERYTHING labeled! I always just hand wrote my labels on sentence strips. Now don't get me wrong..it worked.....but then I was exposed to CHEVRON. After I purchased the FABULOUS Cara Carroll's Chevron-Classroom-Decor-Bundle ...I was HOOKED!!

After I printed everything out from her file and laminated it...I pulled out my old labels. They just didn't match up well. Cara Carroll's packet includes word wall stuff, so I left that out. I just needed things like Filing Cabinets, Book Shelves, Library, Tables, Supplies,Directions, ETC.  So I got busy. My friend also requested that I make this, so I went ahead and did it...

Here's how it turned out...and I LOVE IT! 

You can get your copy Here @ My TpT Store
