a little peek

here is my room after all of our boxes were moved from our old school...SCARY!

Here is day 2...

day 3 doesn't look too much different...

day 4 - fabric going up on the walls...

and because i broke my hand and ended up in a hot pink cast (great way to start the year... i know)
 this is the final product...


so there's a little peek. 




loooving these right now...

Sarah Cooley from First Grader...at Last! has a some really cute ideas... here's some of my favorites:

How cute are these scrapbook themed book reports?!

 I am loving this "
Five Bees" idea instead of just a generic rule chart...

Cara Carroll of "The First Grade Parade" introduced me to my new obsession. Seriously, I am losing sleep over these Brag Tags. I emailed her for more info, (she is soooo super nice and helpful by the way) pitched the idea to my PTA, and starting next week... my school will be Brag Tag crraaaazzzzy! So exciting. 

She also has some great Classroom Management techniques...
I am going to use this pumpkin vine idea but with a Christmas twist. A fabulous 1st grade teacher friend suggested a Christmas tree and the Bingo Dots would be ornaments?
I've had Bucket Filling on my mind for a while now, but I think this is the year I am going for it. Cara has a really cute Bucket Filler poster and some links to get this started in your own room. 

So these are two of my favorite teachers at the moment. I am hoping to get a new camera this Christmas so I can take some pictures of my room and share. Until then...



i'm baaaack

okay. okay. it's been a long time. i just could never figure out what i wanted to do with this blog. after some time off, i have made a decision. this will be for me to keep track of all of the cute ideas i find. so here goes nothing.
