Good Morning Sweet Friends,

Just a little reminder that TpT is having a Back to School sale and my entire store will be 28% off!!!!!!

Enter the code below on August 18 and 19 and save 28% off all of my products!

Thank to Krista, over at The Creative Chalkboard, for her great sales banner!

Here are some of my personal faves!

Thanks to Christina over at *Bunting, Books, and Bainbridge* for her amazing
Best & Most Linky idea!

My personal favorite at the moment is my Students in Disguise Pack! I can't wait to use it!!!

My students loved learning all about fractions last year with my Fun, Fabulous Fractions Pack, and they really knew their stuff by the end of the unit!

My Sight Word Pack and Word Family Pack Bundle are a must! I use them during centers and one-on-one work with students!

I also have some other great packs for the beginning of the school year!!

Happy Back to School Shopping!

Until Next Time...

Happy Friday Everyone!

I officially have one week left before I go back to work (although, I will pop in next week to get a little bit of a head start). I have been creating, laminating, cutting, painting, and even chocolate making to prepare for the beginning of the year! Even after spending a good part of my Summer Vacation preparing, I am still feeling nervous and stressed about getting everything done in time! My list just keeps growing and growing. I know you must all feel the same way!

I thought I would share my first day of school treats and tell you about what I will be doing the first few days. I am lucky enough to be teaching second AND third this year, which means twice the fun! I also get to have TWO classrooms (there happens to be a spare room available). I will have my homeroom for Language Arts and Math and then teach Language Arts in grade two! Yippeee! I love that I get to set up a Language Arts room for my second graders, but that also means twice the work! I will blog about my classroom reveals as soon as they are set up. I have two VERY different themes planned for the each room.

So here are my First Day gifts!

My third graders will be completing my Students in Disguise Craftivity the first few days and so I decided to go along with a moustache and glasses theme! I think they are going to love it! I do love to bake and make chocolate and I found these amazing molds at Michaels! I just had to get them!

This is what the students will get on the first day!

Step one: Melt the Candy Melts in the Microwave

Step Two: Drip melted chocolate into the molds!

Step Three: Eat!

For my second graders, I decided to go a little more magical!

I found these bubbles at Michaels and thought it would be nice to go outside and blow them on the first day. To add a little magic touch, I made these Magic Bubble Cards! I looooooooove them!
