Project Time

Anyone who has been teaching will know that one of the most important things is to stay organized. You have to know what you have and where it all is. Now I have a few big drawers that are just filled with everything. The problem is that I have no order to it all. Everything is all kind of jumbled up together. I wanted something that would help me know where exactly everything is in my room. I have seen these teacher toolboxes all over Pinterest so I decided it was time for me to make one.

I set off to Lowes and picked up one of their stacked drawers. I am terrible at remembering to taking pictures. It has 22 drawers. It is also came in a pretty blue color. I thought about painting it but I figure it would take to long to dry since the air is extra humid right now in Houston with all of the rain we have been getting. I used the bright polka labels from Kristen Doyle. I did edit a few of them to meet the needs I had for my classroom. It took a bit but I am very happy with the final product of it.

I am very excited to bring it to my classroom and get just a little more organized.

In Full Swing

This seems to always happen when I start blogging. I do it for a little bit but then I forget all about it. I had so many ideas of what to post about at the end of the year but I just never go to it. Then the whole summer seemed to pass and I was sucked right back into the world of getting my classroom ready and inservices. I do have to say with this new school, our principal does not have the need to micromanage us so we had lots of time to work in our classrooms to get them ready.

Now we are well into the school year. In fact we just had progress reports go out on Monday and we ended the week with parent conferences. We are even staring into the end of September. Today is the first day of fall and I am hoping it is going to bring some cooler weather for the Houston weather.

If you are looking for someone who is much better at this than me, you should really check out my cousin's blog. She is a first year teacher teaching the 2nd grade. She has a lot of very cute ideas so you should definitely check her blog out.

Now I go back to searching the internet for cute ideas to use in my classroom.

Welcome

Hello!!!

I have finally decided to enter the world of educational blogging. I know that there are a plethora of education blogs out there and I think it is time for me to throw my two sense in there.

I am currently finishing up my first year of teaching the 4th grade in public school. Next year, I will be entering the world of private school and the 5th grade. I really want to be much more prepared for the 5th grade than I was for 4th grade. At least this time I know what I am going to be teaching way earlier than last year.

I'm excited for the summer so I can spend a lot of time research all the fun activities I can do for my 5th graders next year. I wish I was on summer vacation like a lot of other states but here in Texas, we need to finish up our 180 days of school. Luckily that means just two weeks to go.
