Is it really Friday? These weeks are flying by so fast I cannot keep up! This is my last week of summer vacation. I start back next Thursday and students start back on Monday, August 11th. So, so sad! Summer vacation has gone by waaaaaay too fast!

My blog got a long needed makeover this week. It was so hard for me to let someone else take over the design and do it. But, it looks 10x better than what I could have EVER pulled off. And, Tenille {the designer} was so very patient with my detailed visions. I knew what I wanted and she made everything look great!

I have spent a lot of time in my classroom this week getting ready for next week. I have been cleaning like crazy! I wish I could report that I threw away a bunch of junk… but, I still have way too much stuff to ever use! I did throw away some- and I cleaned and organized everything. It’s amazing how unorganized everything is at the end of each school year.

I also helped rescue this little girl this week. We think she got attacked by two stray dogs so we scooped her up and she has been living the good life at my parent’s house. She is currently at the vet right now getting checked out. Her name is Biscuit.. look at those sweet eyes!

  4. New design is looking great - VERY striking!
    It's amazing what a mess classrooms can get in during the year. I moved classrooms so was super organised at the start of the year and tried so hard to be tidy all year but have managed to spend hours clearing out and organising ready for next year!
    Biscuit is gorgeous!

  18. I like your new design! Your classroom looks like it is coming together nicely, how do you make time for everything you do? I am sitting here in my chair, dreading what I should be doing and not doing a darn thing! I like your clips too, great ideas, they look like a good supplement to the curriculum. thank you, Paula http://educatingchildrenwithdisabilities.blogspot.com

  22. Wicked cute pup! You're so amazing for adopting a dog - that's the best way to get a dog when you see how many dogs need homes these days. Love the Toms - best shoes! Also, love the blog design and how organized you are. Well done!

  24. I like your design. Tips are very important and result oriented like it all. Good tips for SAT writers. How kids can solve the SAT MATH Math tutor problems in short time also in first attempt. Critical reading is good tips for SAT students.
