The Countdown is On...Dun, Dun, Dun!

Hi all! Well the countdown is on...one week from today is our first Inservice...AND my Back to School Night. This also means I'm FREAKING OUT! Even though it's my 7th (gasp) year teaching, I never feel prepared to go back! Anyone else feel like this?  I ALWAYS say that I don't want to spend my last few days of summer in my classroom...SOOO I'm hoping that tomorrow and Friday I can finish up my classroom and enjoy my last few days in the sun!

On another note- I was super excited to find these babies at my dollar store yesterday!  Pencil flags! How fun! I even picked up a few packages for some of my teacher friends at school! I can't wait to save these for a special day...maybe one of those days where my kiddos just need a pick me up! 

Okay...well not too much more exciting...I am just trying to get the hang of playing around my awesome little blog and get used to posting. 

Last thing-so I had my very first student teacher this year and things couldn't have went better! :)  She was great...and I was so sad to see her leave.  She got a job in Virginia, I'm sure she's just going to LOVE IT! Anyway, I wanted to make her one of those AWESOME crayon wreaths that are floating around Pinterest.  So I gathered my supplies and got to work...it turned out perfect!  I couldn't wait to give it to her....well.....after a long day of Common Core Training, I was off to meet her for some Mexican and Margaritas...'ole!  So...crayon wreath + summer sun + stuck in car all day= MELTED CRAYON WREATH!  FAIL! 

Today I remade the wreath and Ta-Da...good as a new!
