Classroom 2012-2013
I went into school on Friday to move some furniture around and try to wrap my head around the idea that summer is almost over!
Here’s what it looked like when I walked in:
I’ll post pictures later of what it looked like when I finished for the day. I’ll also post a new layout of my classroom–I’m changing quite a bit around due to our new Promethean Board space. 🙂

Swaps received
Today I received swaps from Kari L, Shelisa, Beth S, and Sarah M. I’ll let you know when I receive more so that you know if arrives!
The swaps are arriving!!
Look what my husband picked up from the post office today!! I’m sure the mailmen/women will be thrilled with me in a few more days! 🙂 I like to think that we are stimulating the post office economy! 🙂
SOOO excited!!
Don’t forget to e-mail me a copy of your swaps (and the direction sheet) once they are done. 🙂

Another swap picture
Hi All!
I received this picture today from Amanda. She is creating the Ladybug concentration game and the word family paint chip cards:
How many of you have sent your packages my way? I got a note from my mailman on Saturday saying I have several packages at the post office, so I know some you have!! I can’t wait to see everything!

Lesson Plans/Schedule
Here is a look at my new lesson plan page/schedule for this coming year. We added an hour to our day this coming year, so the schedule changed a bit! We are also eating lunch later in the morning (not at 10:25 anymore!!). We will be eating at 11:00, so it doesn’t quite feel so much like brunch anymore! 🙂
I’m uploading it as a PDF because I have used some new clipart and I can’t share it in an unprotected document.
I could create a more generic one if you need me to for you to use, but it won’t have the cute border. 🙂 Just the cute font and dashed line boxes–let me know!

Another teaser…
Maggie (from Maggie’s Kinder Corner) sent me another swap teaser picture! I CANNOT wait to start getting these packages in the mail and see all your awesome swaps in real life! 🙂
Don’t forget to vote for my next swap topic (see this post to vote).
Thanks Maggie! 🙂

P.S. I’m also linking Maggie’s Blog up to my page…just see my blogroll to the right. 🙂
New Look
I’ve been playing around with some new fonts and digital papers I got for card making…what do you think of the new look? Love it or leave it? Any changes? Suggestions?
