Lamp

I have been wanting a new lamp for my teacher desk to go along with my bumble bee classroom theme. I have been looking everywhere and so far no luck. 

So I took an old icky lamp and some spray paint, hot glue, & ribbon and now I have the perfect lamp!

1st day goodies

I made these goodie bags to give to my students on their first day of school. Sorry for such a bad picture. It is a fish bowl that says You are o"fish"ally in first grade with swedish fish candy. I didn't save the templates I made (SORRY!) If I did I would share them. However I do have the fish bowl image I used. Click here to download it to make your own!

Here are all of my finished treats ready to pass out!

Storage

 I found this set of drawers at a garage sale & added scrap book paper using Mod Podge and painted it green with Acrylic Paint. Super quick & easy project & it matches my redone file cabinet. 

And it has neat compartments! Perfect for organizing! 

Cute Posters

I made these posters for my class and got them printed from Vista Print!

I created the first one and I found the second one from Pinterest somewhere. I can't find where I found it originally found it so if someone knows feel free to let me know so I can credit them! The third poster I wrote myself after I saw similar ones on some fabulous blogs. 

SORRY!

So sorry that I have been so MIA lately! About a month ago I accepted a new teaching position. It is in a different school district in a new grade level... needless to say planning for the switch from Pre-K to 1st grade has kept me occupied. Did I mention it's at a brand new school that is still being built?! (can't get into my classroom yet YIKES) So my stress-free summer off is OVER. So please excuse my absence. I have been keeping busy and have lots to post and will add new posts and respond to comments later today!

Happy Birthday to You!

Very excited to have a class full of students to give these to on their birthday! You can download the balloon from Once Upon a First Grade Adventure here!

Then I just printed them out, taped them to a swirly straw (you can get a pack of 6 at Dollar Tree for $1) and put them in this cute adorable tin! I also added the birthday pencils below from Oriental Trading. They say "Happy Birthday From Your Teacher" 

So on a birthday in my class they can pick a birthday pencil and balloon! Yay! Who doesn't love birthdays!!
