The Post With the Most Bullet Points

I need to buy stock in:

I’ve been a busy-bee around these parts! I’m juggling about a dozen different projects all at once, including one that will be the freebie for all of those that entered my giveaway, as well as my Monday Made It for next week (what? you know you’re doing it too!).

Some of the decor-related items I’m working on:

• cutting out all of the laminated bulletin board trim (It is taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r!)
• mock-ups of bulletin boards (I’m using my empty classroom photos + photoshop!)
• nameplates, labels, and other misc. organizational items

• my teacher organizer (I opted to make my own, even though I *really* wanted an Erin Condren planner!)
• long-rage thematic calendar (Themes! Oh, the themes!)
• first day of school activities (I’m already nervous!)
• classroom procedures + implementation w/modeling
• positive behavior rewards
• rough-planning of the first three weeks

• Daily Five
• CAFE
• The Next Step in Guided Reading
• Whole Brain Teaching

If anyone could share some good morning meeting resources, or talk about their experience with morning meeting, I would love that! Same goes for experiences with whole brain teaching and how you began implementing that in your classroom!

I’ll leave you with the graduation portrait that just came in of Mr. Plum and I! This was taken within a minute after we were handed our (empty) diplomas; I’m still a bit in shock this moment happened!
