If you are like me, you have a wishlist or shopping cart full of back to school items. Now is the time to get those items at a discounted price. So head on over to TpT and shop until you drop! :)

Super Hero Writing Unit

Well, it's a Saturday night and I am busy finishing up a unit and watching reruns of Monk.  Yes, my life is VERY boring!  :)  I am excited to share with you my latest product.  If your kids are like mine, they LOVE Super Heroes.  I know they seem to be "trendy" these days.  This writing packet has FIVE different writing activities to choose from.  You can implement them in your classroom in a variety of ways.  You can allow your students to choose the activity they like the best, you can put them in writing centers and have the students complete all of them over a period of time, or you can have the students complete the one that you like best.  Regardless of how you decide to implement this in your classroom, I know it will be one that your students will enjoy. 

Here is a preview of the 25 page unit:

Click on the picture above to purchase this unit for $2.75.  However, for three lucky people you will get it for free.  All you have to do is be the first three people to leave a comment WITH your email address and  I will send it to you.  So....ready, set, go! 

Have a SUPER Saturday evening!

Burlap Door Hanger Giveaway!!

I know it's been a little while since I blogged.  I have been MIA for a while because I have been on vacation.  We went to Jamaica...my home away from home.  My husband got to celebrate his birthday on the beach.  This is us having a Bob Marley moment.  :) 

I am looking forward to getting into school mode.  I have been working on my classroom and a couple of products.  I hope to have those to share soon.  Meanwhile, I wanted to share this giveaway with you.  This is just adorable and custom made for you!

Nicole from Rowdy in Room 300 is giving away TWO custom made burlap sign hangers for your classroom door! 

Aren't these things the cutest?  I am so excited about them.  I just wish I was crafty enough to make them.  I did enter the giveaway. Go on over and enter too!

Redecorating My Classroom

I have been VERY busy!  I have decided that I am going to redecorate my classroom.  I am going with a black and white polka dot theme with lime green and pink accents.  I really just wanted to go with the black and white polka dots, but I have a lot of things that are pink and green....lamps, rugs, etc.  I really didn't want to spend the money to replace everything at this point.  :) 

Anyway, one of the tasks that I have taken on is repainting my classroom bookcases.  OH MY GOODNESS, they were a mess!  I had four gray ones, a green one, and a yellow one.  I had looked at the mismatched bookcases for as long as I could stand it. Here are a couple of pictures of the before mess.  :( 

The bookcases are officially painted BLACK and back in my classroom. I was so excited about getting them moved out of my garage and back to school, that I forgot to take pictures of the finished product.  I guess you will have to stay tuned. I will definitely be taken pictures of my classroom as it comes together. 

A CUTE FIND:

Yesterday I was shopping at one of our local gift shops and found the cutest thing.  I had to buy it!  This is a magnetic memo board.  Adorable, huh?  I purchased the green little magnets to go on it.  It has two little hooks on the back for hanging.  I think I am going to hang it by some cute ribbon.  These little magnetic boards are SO versitile.  Even though I purchased it at a local store, the company has a website. To check out getting one of your own click here.

Stay tuned for more pictures and projects that I am working on this summer.  :)  Hope you all are enjoying your summer.  Don't spend too much time in the pool!  LOL!
