August Currently!

I give you my August Currently:

LISTENING: So, okay.  I am obsessed with Pitch Perfect.  I know; it's not rational.  The movie isn't even that good...but I LOVE IT.  Don't ask me why.  I got my husband to figure out how to make ringtones with the songs.  So now my phone plays Don't You Forget About Me (for all you young folk, it's from The Breakfast Club) whenever I have an alarm set or if someone calls me.  And yes, I let it ring a bit longer because I want to hear it :)

LOVING: I finally went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned!  It's been awhile, and I am terrified of the dentist (bad experience as a kid, long story).  I went, and it's over!

THINKING: Seeing that I'm suppose to leave for Texas on Sunday, from Richmond (3 hours away), I should pack.  But no, I'm writing on my blog. :)

WANTING: I need about that much time to get my head around the new job (YES!), living with my husband (YAY!), getting my room ready (EEKA!), and moving (UGH!).  Hence, wanting to aparate.  That means I can twirl around and be somewhere else instantly.  Do you know how easy moving, shopping, going anywhere would be?

NEEDING: This house is full of stuff I don't even remember buying!  I never knew I had so much junk!  Fall Cleaning here I come!

B2s:
1.) Everyone needs Flair Pens; that's all there is to it.
2.) My new school doesn't give us plan books; so I am in need of one.  I could make one, but honestly, I really don't have the time.  I'm contemplating using Planbook.com this year to see how it would go.  I used it sparingly last year, and I liked it okay.
3.) I really want Hope King's Desire to Inspire Subway Art Pack.  My room has lots of walls and this would be a great motivational part!

and that's about it.  Okay, maybe I should do laundry, so I can pack soon.

MY NEW CLASSROOM!!!

Hi All,

So I went to my new school to check out my classroom and meet my fellow 5th grade teachers.  We had a great meeting and hashed out the important details at least.  However, I was able to get into the room that I am pretty sure will be mine. This is what it looks like:

I AM SO EXCITED!  I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT OMG!!   I can't wait to get in there with all my stuff!

Open House!

Hi All,

Sorry, I've been MIA.  I have been working like crazy to get my room ready for open house.  I know most of you have already begun your school year, but mine doesn't start until the 4th.  So here is a walk through of my room!  Enjoy!

My door...yeah, I jumped onto the Owl Bandwagon :)

Sign I made for my room

LA Board - all the books are from the different genres we will be studying

My awesome director's chair my friend made for me...you can't see it very well, but it has LOVE written in HOKIE colors!  And, of course, my naglene.

My meeting area...I made those crates using real milk crates and seat cushions from IKEA. I really wanted to make those Pinterest ones, but it didn't have that file lip.

My desk area...on the bookshelf is my teacher's toolbox...it's hard to see though.

my schedule

calendar

Student work board...on the right is my homework board, but I guess that got cut off.

Science board

Math Board

Class library...it's covered up right now because we do guided discovery of the library.

Supplies area

There you have it.  Hope you liked it.

Monday Made It #13!

Hi All,

I know I have like an hour and change to get this up, but I did finally make something in time for a Monday Made It with Tara.

So I made a pendant banner for my classroom...I know it's not a big deal for most of you awesome crafters, but for this girl, it's a big achievement!  So here it is!

Owl Themed 5 Daily Math Routines!

Hi All,

Sorry, I have been MIA for a bit.  I finally got into my room and it is a mess!  I'll get some pics the next time I am in there.  I made something else using, of course, owls.  This was a request from someone on Tpt.  Hope you guys like it!
