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!

Techie Tip

For those of you teachers out there who love to read blogs- if you have not already done so, it is time to join Bloglovin. You can add any/all of your favorite blogs & read them in one location. It's efficient! Save time while still staying updated with the latest & greatest posts. 

In addition, for those of you who own a blog of your own- it's time you claim ownership of it on Bloglovin! You can then link your account to Facebook & Bloglovin will automatically create a fb post for you every time you write a blog post! Talk about easy; I love that it helps keep my online spaces updated for me! 

That's my techie tip of the night... I hope you try it & enjoy it! :)
