Buntings are all over the place these days and why wouldn’t they be. They are adorable and change the look of any space with little effort. You might have seen my Instagram pin of our personalized student bunting. I have started tacking up ribbon in the most unused spaces of my classroom. It is so quick to add a couple of tacks and a few
Today was our first day! I can’t believe it is all said and done. I feel like the coyote in the road runner cartoon and a giant acme sized anvil has just been lifted off of me. Everything went as smooth as butter. I know we’re in the honeymoon phase, but normally I leave school that first day long after sun has gone down. I

I already stress out completely unnecessarily during this time of year, but I am pretty sure my husband has considered running away- forever. I can’t say I blame him at all.

Okay you can read all of this- I promise it’s good, or you can just scroll to the bottom and check out that freebie I enticed you with. Our first big book study of the year is: A Tale from Dimwood Forest: Poppy by Avi This is the story of a brave deer mouse who sets out on a journey that could save her family,
When I introduce anything new it is most often with an anchor chart of some kind. My anchor charts are not Pinterest worthy or cutesy- even if I plan them out ahead of time they always end up crooked, cock-eyed and well kinda crappy!
