~~Goin' on a Blog Hunt~~

I am sure most of you already know that Google Reader went Bye Bye.  I personally did not use Google Reader so I can't say if I liked it or not.  But, I can say that I love Bloglovin'.  In the past week, I have gained over 100 new followers.  I just LOVE when I can open an email and see all of my favorite blogs in one place!  Who wouldn't love that!!   You can follow me on Bloglovin' by clicking the button at the top (it has a white and blue cross)! 

Please check out Corkboard Connections for more awesome, terrific blogs to follow using Bloglovin'.  I have spent hours and hours on my blog hunt already!!!! Click on the image below to link up and go on a Blog Hunt!

~~Summer Fun, Manic Monday & Monday Made It~~

I just love the summer!  Summer is the time when you can stay up late surfing online, sleep till noon, eat ice cream for lunch, attend the movies and swim all day!!  I don't know about you, but I really, really enjoy not having to plan lessons or grade papers.  I also love having the time to create activities and products for my classroom. I recently learned how to create QR codes.  I made a poster for my parents for our back to school supply day in August.  They can scan the QR code and grab all of the necessary documents.  Check out the poster below!!   You can create your own QR codes (HERE), QR Stuff. 

 

Also, I just finished creating an Apple Themed Classroom Pack for all of your Back-to-School needs.  Included in the pack: nameplates, calendar headings & numbers (1-31), Super Speller, I lost a tooth, and birthday certificates, days of the week, circle labels (blank), classroom job chart and clock labels.  You can download the classroom jobs HERE for Free!   If you like them, please head over to my TpT Store to purchase the entire pack. 

Please contact me if you would like a different theme.  I can make other themes too. Check out my Groovy Pack.

~~Monday Made-It~~

It is summertime!!  I am so happy to be linking up again with Tara @ 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It.  I think my last link up was in August of last year!!!  I am way over due for some link up fun.  I decided that this upcoming school year would be a breeze in the decorating department.  I do not need to take anything down (first time in 6 years!). Plus, I wanted to save some money~~Yahoo!! I purchased clip art from Scrappin Doodles and have created just about EVERYTHING for my classroom.  I made name plates, job chart, labels, birthday certificates, lunch calendar, and much more!!  I figured that I saved tons of money already.  Check out my creations below. Don't forget to grab the 2 FREEBIES!!! You can grab the name plates, book marks, & labels in my Groovy Pack:  TpT and TN .

 

Thank you Tara for keeping up with Monday Made It!!  It helps me stay on track for the summer!!

~~Let's Get Groovy~~

I am so excited to share with you my very first Groovy Packet!! I created some name plates, labels (square and round), reward coupons, book marks, and organizational labels.  I originally starting making these for my classroom to coordinate with my current theme and save some money. Before I knew it, the packet was 16 pages long.  Yahoo!!!!   Next week, the copy machine and laminator will be super busy!!!!!  I am really trying to stay off the computer and NOT do any school work~~I guess it's not working! Please check out my packet at TpT and  TN.  I know the preview picture is not that good so I am adding some other pictures too!!

On another exciting note, I am in the process of updating my blog!!!!!  I absolutely LOVE the way it looks now, BUT it doesn't reflect my personality or my love of groovy things.  I am working with Christi @ Design by Christi to make my blog more me!!!!!  I can't wait!!!  She has some awesome ideas and fantastic designs.

 

~~Summer Vacation & Freebie~~

I have been on summer vacation for a week now, and I am already doing school projects!  I am not changing much in my classroom except for a few things here and there.  I decided to try my hand at making some decorations instead of buying premade items.  Since my theme is Peace & Love, I decided to purchase some clip art from Scrappin Doodles.  I fell in love with the Groovy Kids Clip Art collection!!   Please check out my Groovy Jobs.   My next few projects include: Back-to-School Activity packet, behavior clip chart, AR tracker, desk name plates and center signs. Please check back often to grab some freebies and see how I am keeping myself busy!! Enjoy your summer!!

~~Prayers for Moore, Oklahoma~~

On the last day of school (May 24th), the entire student body participated in a recitation of the rosary. This prayerful act was done as a special intention for the victims and survivors of the recent tornado in Moore, Oklahoma.  Our assistant principal spoke to the students prior to prayer, explaining how just as we suffer from the tragedies of hurricanes, these fellow Americans are bearing the pain to rebuild their lives from a tornado. It was such a moving experience to witness the students and faculty praying the rosary for the victims and survivors of Moore, Oklahoma. Our thoughts and prayers are with Oklahoma.
