Ready for SMORE fun in kindergarten?

Time to start thinking about the new school year! My start of the school year has to do with s'mores. It all began with my s'more obsession at the end of last school year. I went on a s,more kick- drinking Dunkin Donuts S'mores Iced Coffee and eating S'mores pop tarts. (I don't even eat pop tarts!) I was so excited to find out that National S'mores Day is Thursday, August 10th. Which is the first day of school in my district!!!

I made these tags to go on some treats for the first day of school. Click on the picture to get to the freebie.

Since I am at a Leader in Me school, I made a back to school s'mores board. At the end of the last school year, I had my kindergarten students write a tip about being a leader for my new students. At the beginning of this school year, I plan to have my new kindergartners brainstorm ways to be a kindergarten leader and make their own s'mores for this bulletin board.

Talking about last year's group, I gave them a summer reading challenge. I made some bookworm tags to go with their prizes of reaching their goal of 50 books read over the summer. Click on the picture to get that tag freebie.

 Life has been a little bit more joyful with this little puppy! Meet Daisy, our Shihtzu. We got her late April and she has stolen our hearts! I am busy making different little bows for her to wear. I opened up an Etsy shop- TturtleTimeCreations. Below are some bows I made for my aunt's pups, Cherie and Caleb.

I have one week of summer left before I go back to CGI training and then Pre-planning! Enjoy the summer!

Made It Monday: Organizer

Today is my first day back in my classroom. I will be busy busy busy getting this room back in order. After today, there will be many meetings and getting prepped for Kindergarten Open House & Meet the Teacher later this week! Here is what it looked like when I entered my classroom:

This is from the main door.

This is also from the main door.

This is the view from the planning room door. On the counter is my first rounnd of stuff brought back to school from home.

Since everyone has been making these great organizers, I was inspired to make my own. I really like the ones with the larger drawers, but it stood taller than what my cabinet would hold. So I went with the one that would fit in my cabinet. I got mine at Lowe's. When I went to Joann Fabric's the next day, I saw similiar containers doubled the price!! My organizer labels are not quite done. I have to figure out what will fit in my organizer box.

I also created one of these for my How We Go Home chart! I love it!! I got it from Beg, Borrow, & Steal's site.

I velcroed the going home circles to my ribbon. I will use clothespins with names to show how children go home. Since some go home different ways on different days, I will keep my own schedule in my teacher binder. Each morning, I will move the clips that need to change.

I am looking forward to getting my room set up, especially with all the inspiration from my bloggy friends! Click below to see more creations by others.



Have a wonderful day!
