I did It!

I did it, I finally did it! I am on TPT!  It has been a long time coming folks! I have been wanting to put some of my products up for a while but just didn't know where to start.  I did a lot of research and so many of you had such helpful advice out there on your blogs which made it so much easier. So thank you to everyone who shares their tpt advice.  I still feel like there is a lot to learn, but the hard part is over!

Here is a preview of my products!:






You can find all of my products at my TPT store:

Classroom Pictures

So I am not as savvy as I would like when it comes to blogging.  Still not great at uploading pictures, links, documents, etc.  So I thought I would start with something easy.  I am going to upload a few pictures of my classroom and see how that goes.  This is my 5th year teaching, and every year I have done a theme.  I just love doing themes.  I have so much fun planning and shopping for my classroom.  It takes a lot of work every year...and a lot of $, but it is so worth it!  The looks on my kiddos faces when they see their new classroom for the first time is priceless! In the past, I have done a jungle, beach, camping and carnival theme.  This year I decided to go with PIRATES!  Here are a few pictures of my classroom:

One of my favorite things to see in blogs are pictures of other teacher's classrooms, so I hope you enjoy these!

Blog: Take 2!

Yes, I am alive! I was so excited once I started my little blog, and then.....well, who knows what happened!? But, I am back and more committed this time (I promise!). In my "free time" (Ha!- does free time even exist in a teacher's world!?)
I have been trying to learn more about TpT and how to put some of my materials on there.  I haven't posted anything yet, but any advice anyone has would be SO greatly appreciated!

We Give Books

So I just stumbled across the most INCREDIBLE website!  It's called We Give Books.

We Give Books is a free website that lets anyone (with access to the internet) give books to children who don't have them.  All you have to do is go to the website: http://www.wegivebooks.org/
and read stories online....FOR FREE! :) Does it get cooler than that!?
For each book you read online, We Give Books donates a book to a leading literacy group on your behalf.
The more you read, the more they give!
Go check it out!
