Hello August! {& a Lil FREEBIE!}

Happy August y'all! Quick question....Why does it take soooooo much longer for February and March to pass by than it does for June and July??? Wow! Hello August!!! Even though I would really love for summer to last just a little bit longer, I am getting a bad case of those "Back-to-School Jitters"! Oh yay...you know what I mean....every waking moment {& sleeping moment} is spent thinking about all the things that you need to do before that big first day of school! Does anyone else find themselves awake at 4am trying to make a list in your head of things you forgot to do the day before??? And after spending 30 minutes trying to convince yourself that you CAN remember these things, you just decide it would be easier to get up and start working on them instead of trying to remember them!?! Yep! That's my sleep routine! lol

....and trying to remember what day it is!!! Oh boy...this is soooo me! I have actually had a couple PD days this week and it is a miracle I showed up on the right days!

My classroom is almost done getting there...I would share some half-done pics with y'all but I don't want you to see how much junk I still have piled around...moving to a new classroom makes a HUGE mess!!! {And I don't understand how I have lost misplaced so many things?? ughh...} I am really REALLY luvin' how it is all coming together & promise oodles of pics soon!!!!

This year we have a building sports theme so I have tried to coordinate sports with my bright dots classroom theme. Here's my nameplates....a lil FREEBIE I'm sharing with ya today!

 

Happy August y'all!!!!

 

 

A Back-to-School Giveaway EVERYONE can Win!

Hey teachin' friends! I'm hosting a giveaway that you just can't beat... Sorry! Contest ended August 1st! Wish I could keep making these but it's time for me to get ready for back to school. Check my blog for lots of other freebies!) I just finished making up these cute back-to-school nameplates and postcard/ poster! I also remade my Goody Bag note that I give to each of my students at Back-to-School night. I wanted something that kinda matched up with my new door canopy/jungle theme, so check it out!!!! I am soooo lovin' the zebra print-can't get enough!!!

This one is the postcard that I will be mailing to my students and I also made it in a larger size for a poster at my door. I will personalize it with your name and grade!

What kiddo wouldn't feel like the king or queen of the jungle with these nameplates on their desk!?!

I fill a colored paper lunch sack with "goodies" from this poem and have it waiting for my students when they come in the room at Back-to-School night. They LOVE it! {who doesn't love a freebie!?!}

Anyway, back to the details of this giveaway...it's really simple, just do these 3 things and YOU ARE A WINNER!!!

1. Become a follower of my blog (if you aren't already).
2. Give a quick mention of this giveaway on your blog (be sure to include a link back my blog).
3. Come back to my blog and leave a comment below telling me you've done both those things and (here's an important part)...tell me what name and grade you would like me to personalize your poster/postcard with and leave your email for me to send you your personalized files.

That's it!!! Pretty simple huh? But you have to hurry cuz I will be offering this giveaway from now only until August 1, 2011. (That's when I can get back into my classroom-sooOOO excited!) So, tell your friends-let's see how many winners we can get in a week!
