Teaching Trends Tuesday

I cannot believe it is August already!  We head back to school on August 15th, so summer is quickly coming to an end.  My classroom is finally ready for my new kinders, so I thought I would share pictures of the beehive!

Door to my classroom

Whole group area, smartboard, theme board, and calendar board

Homeliving Center (and my new curtains)

Front of the classroom from the door.  Small group area

Reading Hive

Science Center

Word Wall

Student Computer and my desk

I loved this idea from First Grade at Last so I added them to my room this year and LOVE them!

Behavior Chart- my take on the popular clip system

My favorite addition to my classroom this year!  My new chair pockets!  They were plain yellow and I added ribbon and embroidered the bee!

I cannot wait to fill it up with my little honeybees this year! 

Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!

Trends in Teaching {Summertime... Playtime or Work time?}

So I don't know about you but I am so LOVING my summer! This is the first year in all 4 years of teaching that I have not actually had to work every day during the summer and it OH SO Amazing! However, I am doing a little babysitting, helping at the Mother's Day Out at my church, and finishing up my Ed.S. so I'm pretty busy, but I also have LOTS of free time! :) 


Like many of you teachers, we are always looking for other things to either make extra money or just to "de-stress" so I have found mine and it just so happens to do BOTH! I am pleased to announce the opening of ....wait for it...... Savvy Chic Designs!! This is your new place to go to find all your needs for invitations, announcements, photo cards and stationary! Keep in mind that we just opened this up last night so please check back often for more additions!

Here is a sample of something we have in our shop for the 4th of July. So if you're planning that BBQ...head on over and check it out!! 


REMEMBER: Savvy Chic Designs for all your invitation, announcement, and photo card needs!


What are ya'll doing this summer?
