Calendar Numbers Freebie

Well have you ever gone to set up the monthly calendar and you don't have all of the numbers?

Where do they go?

I usually use the same set for August and September....they were cute little kid faces that I bought a long time ago....but not this year because somehow I lost two of them, lol. I also 'lost' my camera (but actually I am hoping I left it in my classroom). We set up the 3 main bulletin boards and took pictures but now I cant find the camera. We (my daughter and I) were there a long time and we were pretty 'pooped' when we left so hopefully it is there!
I think I will go there tonight or tomorrow to get it so I can share the pics. Everything looks so bright and fun with new backgrounds and borders!!
So back to the calendar numbers....I gave up searching for the numbers and decided to just make new ones. I used the new digital colored crayons that I drew and they turned out great. There is also a page of blank labels (sorry not editable) that you can use.

I put this one up through my FB page.

To grab your free set, click on the Fan Freebie tab. It will take you to the site to download your free set. I will likely make a new set for each month as some of my numbers are REALLY old!!

 

I'm still not counting down, but if I were it would be 10 days....

 

 

New Classroom Design Giveaway - Monster Set

I finished the aqua and green classroom set and decided to make it a monster theme. I am giving away one set here on my blog on Sunday. I used the rafflecopter the last few times but then I got to thinking about making you follow me all around cyber-land to have an entry. That is not really my style....so while I am very appreciative if you follow my blog and stores your entry will just be made by leaving a comment below...sound good?

I had a special request for a 'bee' theme classroom set so that will be next. Then I will do a safari/jungle theme. I am also drafting out a year of homework packets for Kindergarten. Busy, busy, I'm just full of ideas, lol.

We have a brand new math curriculum for next year so I need to make sure the activities align with the lessons being taught. I went to an in-service today and I go back tomorrow. It is all about the new math curriculum.

I also spent 3 days cleaning out my classroom cupboards getting everything organized. My classroom is super organized and tidy but I had secret hidden stashes of clutter...shhh don't tell. Now every cupboard is organized too and my file cabinets are all cleaned out. My recycle bin was brimming! I think I had saved every extra copy of papers since dinosaurs walked the Earth, very outdated and things I will never ever use again! They are gone now! I also changed all my bulletin boards for next year.

What changes will you make to your classroom for next year?

Make sure you leave your email address if you are entering to win the Monster Set. I will email it as a PDF file attachment. Have a great week!

Winner Winner Another Chicken Dinner

The winners of my "All About Red" Classroom Design Collection are Michelle from Apples and ABC's and Teresa from 2nd Grade Pigpen...because I can't give away just one. I will get those emailed out to you. Thanks for entering! I started a new set tonight. It is aqua and candy apple green. I am loving these two colors together. Here is a preview of the colors together....

Please leave me a comment and let me know any color combinations or themes you are looking for in a classroom design. I have about 30 ideas I want to make. You can buy my classroom sets in my Teacher's Notebook store or TpT.

Hmmm. how many days of school do I have left? I think it's down to 8. I have had such a great year! I love the teachers I work with and I have had wonderful students this year!! I think I am starting out next year with about double what I have now, but that is fine. I am already getting everything ready for August. I have my new bulletin boards laminated and ready to put up. I WILL tackle my disorganized cupboards this summer! I guess I will have to get another table as I think I don't have enough chairs...yikes.

Have a great weekend!!

May Calendar Numbers Freebie finished

This will be a super short post as I feel very behind with everything...and I have a big meeting to get organized for. I finished my May Calendar Numbers with a zoo/safari theme. Of course May starts in 2 days so you are likely already set. Hope you can use these or save them for another month. let me know if you need a different month label, I can make it for you. Just like the April set I made three complete number sets so you can practice a variety of patterns.
I am going to start offering all new items at a discount for the first 48 hours so please consider following my store. Thanks so much!! Have a fab week!!Safari/Zoo May Calendar Freebie

April Calendar Cards Freebie

I finished these yesterday and have them uploaded to my TpT store along with a few other freebies. I can't believe I live in Ohio, it's March, and today it was 80 degrees again...that just doesn't happen. Oh. and did I say I am on Spring Break to boot...can you say Y*A*H*O*O?!?
I am finishing up another homework packet for K. I will have it uploaded tomorrow. I am thinking of opening a Teacher's Notebook store. Anyone have one? Any benefits to TpT over Notebook? They look so similar but the cost to join is so much lower for Notebook. I just don't know, we are really pinching pennies at our house so I make do a switcheroo over to Notebook.
OMG, totally off teacher tidbit topic but.....did I ever write about the wedding cake my daughter and I are making. We are making the wedding cake for my neice' wedding in 2 weeks. It will be a 4 tier cake, with 12 total layers, probably 30 inches hign without the topper when we are done. That is our biggest cake yet. We are super...super super...super super duper bakers. Our cakes are S*O*O*O*O yummy. I will post pictures of the process and the final cake. I know it will be good....I hope...if it is straight, and the fondant cooperates...and we get it to the reception in one piece. Oh GEEZ!! YIKES!!
Have a great week!!
