B2S13

Today was my first official day of being back in the classroom... it feels so good to be getting things set-up and organized for another great year with the same awesome students I taught as first graders. I do believe this "looping" business has some perks! 2nd grade - here I come (again!).

Today was also my blog's first day with it's new makeover. Wow! I love it. The colors, the designs, the adorable owls -it was everything I asked for! Thank you to Tricia for her design. Here's a great deal she is offering to my readers, if any of you are interested in some design help!

Lastly, today was the the big BTS13 sale on TpT -despite the fact I vowed not to spend anymore money on my classroom, I just could not help it! The deals were great and my "wishlist" was packed with additions I wanted to make to the classrooms this year.

Here are the links to a few purchases I just could not resist any longer:

Good Morning Work

All About Me - Paper Backpack Back-to-School Craftivity 

Writing Scoop - Ice Cream Rubrics

Common Core Math Quick Assessments 

Super in Second - Beginning of the Year Activities

I can't wait to get back to school in the morning to begin printing & prepping these items! Along with the rest of my two-page to-do list. Ahh! 
 
Please leave me a comment letting me know what you think of the blog's new look -and visit back soon. I am looking forward to making a 2013 classroom reveal in the very near future!

Morning work templates

I like the idea of laminating a morning work page to wipe off and reuse each day! Why didn't I think of that sooner?! This solves my dilemma of using up all that paper! Trying to "go green" in elementary can be tricky!

Here are some great templates to choose from.
