Desk makeover

Another quickie, but cute enough to share.
Our desks at school are u.g.l.y. Painted black metal. Crappy drawer that won't open unless you slightly open the two side drawers. You get the picture.
I try to cute it up with posters or my mrs lamb letter magnets. But it was still ugly
Then pinterest {with its addicting little pins that nag at me until I do it} enters. And wha-la. A desk I can live with!
Here's before

Hop over to my blog to see after and other Pinspirations!

 

Parent Contact Information Cards - FREEBIE

Flat Stanley, Revisited

My class has been sharing the pictures and notes that Flat Stanley sent us while he went on his adventures with friends and relatives of my students.  Being a reflective person, I've been thinking about how I can make the adventure better for next year.  I've rewritten the 2 letters I sent home, and I'm sharing them with you.  Click HERE to download your free Flat Stanley letters!

Preview and a Goodbye

Hey guys!

Well, I got the news that I will be moving to 4th grade next year. I have mixed feelings about it, but I have taken the opportunity to explore new things and start a new blog.



I will be posting things for all grade levels periodically, so come check it out!
Here is something I shared today. I am going to be putting together content area binders to organize my materials for the coming year. Here they are for you to enjoy!

See you around!
