New Products and a SALE!!!!

It's that time of year again!!! Back to School.

My school is on an alternative calendar so we are already back to school.  I have been using my maternity leave to work on a few new TpT products that I am actually using in my classroom this year. However, since I am on leave I do not have any pictures of them actually in use, so I promise I will get pictures when I go back in September.

Now on to my new products.  I have been with all things chalkboard and very bright colors.  So this led  to my chalkboard themed posters.  In my store you will find sets for the Alphabet, Colors, and Numbers, there is also a bundle containing all the sets.  So you can pick and choose if you want 1,2, or all of them. They will all be on sale, as will all my products.    

I hope you all like them as much as I do :)

#SpedChatSaturday B2S

Good Morning All!!!

Today is a very exciting day it is the first of the #SpedChatSaturday Back to School edition hosted by Ashley from Lattes, Lesson Plans, and IEPs.

To Do: 

My list of To Do's all center around me being more proactive, from planning and material prep, to being involved at my new school.  Overall just my being more accountable to myself :)

Ways to Organize:

I am moving to a new school and new classroom this year.  I am bringing with me all of my personal stuff that I have come to collect over the last four years and all I know about the stuff in my classroom is that there is a lot of it.  So my goal is to organize and label everything, that way I know what I actually have and what I will need in the future.  Also I want my classroom staff to be aware of when there will be IEP's and other important dates for data input, etc. So they will know when I will be out or that way they can help :)

Wishes:

My wishes I am realizing go along with my anxiety.  I am currently on Maternity leave until Labor Day, which I am loving the time with all three of my children and looking forward to taking my son to his first day of 1st grade.  But I worry about my classroom and students, since my students go back on Monday, yes this Monday :/

  

Time Management:

I think this is a tricky one for anyone who is a teacher. Time always seems to be gone before I know it. My main focus this year is to ask for help.  I have had a wide range of assistant support.  Some who don't want to help they show up right before the bell and leave as soon as the last student is on the bus, others who are begging for more stuff to do.  So this year I am going to focus of delegating and asking for help.

Promise:

This is a promise I am making to myself.  I need to remember to do the best with what I have.  Everything always turns out in the end, I just need to trust the process.  Easier said than done, but I am going to try really hard.

Thanks for joining me for the first #Spedchat, I hope you enjoyed and I look forward to reading what all of you are up to for B2S :)

New School Year...New Blog Design :)

Hello All,

Welcome to my new blog design, isn't it pretty?  I am so in love with it.  I was very lucky to connect with my fellow #SpedTribe member Ashley from Lattes, Lesson Plans & IEPs.  She does amazing work and is so nice. I highly recommend asking her for help if you are looking to start a blog or update your blog. Below is a picture of here awesome work 

As you may remember from my previous post I told you all about how where I would be teaching this coming school year was up in the air.  Well I am happy to say that I have accepted a job at one ofthe smaller   schools in my district.  I will be still be teaching Developmental Preschool, so I am excited to be in my fifth year teaching this grade level, I love being with my little kids.  

It has been a little strange accepting this job while I was pregnant.  My new school is on an alternative school calendar, but has it's pluses and minuses.  One of the minuses is that today was the first day of school for students.  Plus is that the students and staff get two week breaks in October and March, which I think staff and students need at those points in the year.  I have never taught on this calendar so I am excited to see how it goes and I will let you all know what I think.

I wanted to thank all of you for still reading while I have been bad about not blogging.  As you may remember I was pregnant with baby #3.  While I am excited to say that she joined us in this big world in a very fast way on June 29. We are all adjusting to being a family of five, but it has been so much fun.

Here is a picture of my new bundle of joy.

Until next time😀
