So Much Going On!

I've been a busy girl!  Where do I begin:

First, I have to tell you about my latest DIY project!  I did it.  I dabbled in craftiness again.  This time I made crate seats.  I found a great tutorial over at What the Teacher Wants. 

I wanted to make these for many reasons:
          1.  They provide extra storage.  Who doesn't need extra
              storage?
          2.  They will allow for more seating in my classroom.
          3.  They are just the right size for first graders.
          4.  They are super cute! 

I could not have done it without my handy hubby!  He had extra plywood in the garage, cut it and sanded it for me!  :)

I did use 2-inch  foam, rather than 1-inch foam.  I wanted some more cush for the tush!  :)   It did take some time and patience to complete, but I am very happy with the finished product! I can't wait to use them!

 My next big thing was that I recently added some new shape posters to my TpT store!  They are in classic color chevron!  LOVE the classic colors.... My classroom is going to be very colorful this year!

Organizing Daily Materials

My organizational system in my classroom is always changing. I have tried many ways to organize my daily materials:

1.      Folders for each day of the week: These become ripped and don’t hold much.

2.      Bins/magazine boxes:  These fall over and drive me CRAZY!!!

This year I’ve decided to try plastic drawers.  I’ve seen lots of bloggers with cute labels that match their room.  Of course I had to try to make some!

I think they will look great in my room!  In fact, I love them so much I decided to share the LOVE!     You can get them for FREE on my Facebook Page! 

I am definitely not very tech savvy. I’m slowly figuring this stuff out!  After a few youtube videos and some trial and error (not to mention lots of coffee and deep breathing) I finally figured out how to add FACEBOOK FAN FREEBIES!  Major accomplishment!   

I would love for you to go check it out and "like" my page.
