The End Is Near!!
I can't believe tomorrow starts the new school year!! Summer is over folks and teachers at Madison in Michigan start back tomorrow!! YIKES!! I know it has to end but ohhhhh, I don't want it to!! Don't get me wrong I'm super excited for the new beginnings but I just hate to say goodbye!
I'm not ready to show completed pics of my new room just yet. But, I do have pics of a project that I completed. I fixed up some ancient desks that needed some lovin. They were beaten up pretty bad and only worthy of being in public if covered with a table cloth before I got a hold of them. But now they are my new computer table!! Tadaaa!! The tops are chalkboard paint so I can doodle and jot quick notes! Fun huh?!

A Wonderful Daily 5/Cafe Resource!!
If your wondering about the picture above, I Googled daily 5 images and I found this. They happen to be posters sold by 3rd Grades a Hoot! If you want a set of them go here.
I will link up her site below!!
This brings me to wonder who else out there has wonderful resources to offer where the Daily 5/ Cafe are concerned. Do you have sassy posters, lessons, pictures, ideas, etc.?? It can be Daily 5 math too!!
Let's link up and share them!
Let's make this a link up spot for all the Daily 5 / Cafe goodies!!
1. Your link has to be about Daily 5/ Cafe.
2. You must include the url to the actual post not the site. Unless the entire site is on the topic like the one I shared!
3. I just put in the first 4 entries. Yes, they are someone else's blogs! I just clicked the middle/second option under Get an image from the web page you entered WEB and it will give you their image.

Lamination Take Over!!
I opted to stay home today and tackle the things I can do without being at school. I managed to get my welcome back letters stuffed and in the mail this morning! I send a letter, an information sheet, and one more supply list in this mailing.
I know Pinterest was down last night for a little while but it's back up and running now. I found an adorable paper banner that I'm going to whip up in my room!! I wanted to show you how stinkin cute it is!!
Cute huh? I so love this paper!!
Thanks Erin Pifer for hooking me up!!
I had to redo my bulletins so I have more laminate to cut than I normally do. My little ones are enjoying some grapes and Shrek for rest time in the background.

Progress
Progress was made today. I got a couple Pinterest projects that I like finished. My very good friend that has artistic talent (I don't) came to school with me today and whipped up the sassy rocket bulletin board. Looks awesome huh?! Thanks Sandra!! You rock!! I just need to add the stars. I'm so excited about how nice it turned out! I would love to give credit to the teacher who's blog I first saw it on but Pinterest is down right this minute and I forget who it was. I'll check when it's back up and running so I can give credit where credit should be!
Pinterest is up and running and I got the idea for this bulletin board from TeachFactory.com!! Go check her out her site is AWESOME!!
I grabbed up the "Read" letters at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off! I used spray adhesive to put scrapbook paper on them and I think they turned out pretty cute! I haven't figured out where to put them in my room yet but wherever they do go they will be looookin gooood!! :)
My poor kids are so done with me dragging them in to school with me but it could be much worse then a fancy playground and all the games etc. Such is the life of a teachers child. :)
I know my friend Amanda over at Plumdoodles is hosting a Pinterest Linky party so type on over and check out all the cool projects!!
I know there are a few other blogs hosting linky parties for Pinterest projects but I'm not sure which ones. I'll have to look around and link up!

Library Bin Labels
Here are the library bin labels I've been hooting and tooting about. I included a blank of each on the last 3 slides so that you can create your own. You could just print out those three then print your book titles on blank labels to place on them. It will look just as nice. I had several requests for blank ones so here you go!! I hope you like them. These would work nicely for locker tags or your schedule tags.The font is called annoying Kettle.
