Jamberry Nails :)

Hey there everyone!!!!!!!

I hope everyone is having just as awesome of a day as I am.  Tonight marks the start of fall break for us here in Albuquerque, thank you Balloon Fiesta we get a four day weekend :)

I have linked up with the wonder Gabrielle over at Teaching Special Thinkers to host an online Jamberry Nail event. This is the first time I have used them but I've been curious for a long time.  And let me tell you they are super easy to apply and plus they are super duper cute :) 

On this hand I used my all time favorite pattern, Chevron :)

On this hand I just went with a fun graphic black and white. Let me tell you I received so my compliments at school today. They were so easy to put on that I did them in between cooking dinner and homework with my kindergarten son. I can't wait to get more. My son even asked me if they had dinosaur ones for him :)

If you are interested in looking at the wraps or possibly purchasing my event officially starts on Sunday October 12 and runs throuh Friday October 17.  Gabrielledixon.jamberrynails.net

Busy busy busy!!!!

WOW!!!!!  That is the best word to describe the last month.  

First the big news: My educational assistant finally arrived and she is wonderful. It has been so nice to have an extra person in the classroom, it's also nice to have someone who notices things that I do not. It's funny though since she started I feel like I have been even busier than before, but she and I have gotten some major things done around the classroom. 

The picture above is from a project I finished before my EA started. My classroom is pretty far away from the playground and really far away from the office/nurse, so I decided I needed a playground bag. But of course I had to have one that is super cute but also functional. So off I went to Hobby Lobby. I bought a large canvas bag that zips of course and black and white iron on letters.

This is the front.

And the back.

I am super happy with how it turned out, it is so cute but also super functional.  I carry all the essentials of a special ed pre-k teacher.  I have tissue, wipes, hand sanitizer, band aides, and a mini trash bag.  I also have things specific to my students, such as noise canceling head phones for my students that have noise sensitivity issues, I have my afternoon classes lunch cards since they eat lunch in the cafeteria as soon as they get there, I also have my fire drill binder.  It has my evacuation plans for a few of my students as well as the red and green cards that tell my admin if I have everyone when there is an emergency.  We don't leave the classroom without the bag and it has been super helpful, I am no longer caught off guard when we are out of the classroom. I highly suggest something like this for all teachers.

I hope everyone is enjoying the transition to fall.  I sure am and fall here means Balloon Fiesta :)

Here is a picture from the balloon that came to my school this past Friday.
