Currently in August!

I'm linking up with Farly at "Oh Boy 4th Grade""Oh Boy 4th Grade" -Currently
for Currently August! 

Listening-I've really been enjoying my kids this summer and I like listening to them when they are laughing and just being kids.

Loving-I LOVE sleep :) If I could sleep until 11am every day I would!

Thinking-I'm starting a new teaching position for a public school district in 2 weeks teaching Pre-K and I can't stop wondering and thinking about what my year is going to be like.

Wanting-I seriously am going crazy because I have no idea what my new room looks like and I can't get in until August 19th!

Needing-I really need to organize my all of my classroom materials.  I purchased a ton of supplies for my previous position and it is all sitting in my upstairs bonus room.  I can't go through it until I see my new room and know what I need to sell and what I need to keep.  It is driving me CRAZY!

Back to School must haves: I have to wear orthotics so comfy shoes are a must.  I love making my teacher binder each year getting organized.  I use sharpie pens on everything to label books, supplies, make cubby name tags etc.  So I always stock up during the sales :)

Would love to hear what you are “currently” up to for August too!

Summer Teacher Finds!

I love shopping at the special teacher stores but it's not always in my budget so...just found this a my local Dollar Tree! In the Party decorations aisle.  I think I'll put him on the door and
will go great with my Jungle theme classroom.                                                                                             

 

 

 And a new weather set in the teacher section $1 that I just need to laminate and add velcro to :)

I also found these at Walmart:

 $2.69 Cookie game by Scholastic -It only comes with the cookie cut outs but I thought I could make a cute jar for them to go in or a plate.

 .97 cents Math Banner I just learned we are using Handwriting Without Tears for Literacy and Math and this Banner will go great with it's curriculum.

$6.99 Alphabet and Number Table Easels- I thought I could use these for small groups.

At the $ Spot at Target:

$1 Birthday Certificates, Stickers and Erasers for each child.  I have a total of 39 kiddos this year between the two classes!  I got 6 erasers for $1. I thought I could make a cute Birthday Basket and the kids could pick from it on their special day.

Name Tags for first day of school 24 for $1

$3 Bulletin Border Organizer-I'm always looking for ways to organize my supplies.  I've never tried these before but thought I would give them a go!

I told myself I would NOT buy a ton of stuff this year because I have bought way too much in the past.  Also I'm starting a new position with a public School District teaching Pre-K and I haven't even seen my room yet :)  So I don't want to go too overboard until I see what was left behind from the old teacher.  I will post pictures soon!
