For much more detail about my newest pack – stop over to my blog post about it {HERE}!! 🙂
Mine are set and were SO easy to fill into my first week of plans with my new 2nd graders!!

Speaking of 2nd grade love  . . . . .
I’m kind of LOVING the front of my desk that I put together today!! I got SO many compliments and questions about it on Instagram and facebook yesterday!! Allow me to answer a few!
1 – The chevron is contact paper I got from TJ Maxx!
2 – The fonts I used are KG Wake me Up and MTP Jumpin’ Jack by Kevin and Amanda!
3 – I made each letter as large as a could to fill a single page – then I just cut, laminated, and put a magnet on the back of each one!
4 – The clip art is from Melonheadz and Ashley Hughes! All I did to make those large was I put one image on a page, then in print settings, I chose “poster”! Each piece of giant clip art on my desk was printed on two sheets of paper that I taped together, laminated, and mounted with magnets to finish off the cuteness of my desk!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! <3 I’m kind of obsessed with it!! 🙂

 

So as you see above, I’ve been getting down to the nitty gritty at school annnnnd I’ve gotten some things set up for Open House! If you’re like me, you can never have enough expo markers, clorox wipes, tissues…etc. to start the school year, right?! I’m so glad that we are able to ask our parents to donate a thing or two to our classroom community and I ask for those donations at Open House! This year, I’m asking them to “lend a hand!”

And GUESS WHAT!! It’s yours for free if you’d like it! Just click either image to snag it in my TPT store!

The parents can pick a hand off of my board on which I’ve written a variety of supplies and items that they can  choose to donate! Plus it looks cute, doesn’t it! Yay! So excited to meet my new kiddos!

 

Ok – raise your hand if you like the DOLLAR SPOT at Target.  ME ME ME !! Right?! Wellll what if I told you that you can snag some EQUALLY as exciting finds like you snag at the Dollar Spot from your FAVORITE teacher bloggers . . . that’s right . . .FOR ONE DOLLAR!!! NOW YOU CAN!! . .
I am SO thrilled to be teaming up with some fabulous TPT bloggers on this Teacher Deals and Dollar Steals Collaborate blog!!  HUGE shoutout to Amanda Wilp at The Primary Gal for her MAD organization skills for setting this all up!

And lastly – I love to leave you with a quote on my #5 for Five for Friday – starting in just 2 weeks from now, I’ll be back to sharing KID QUOTES with you all! I cannot WAIT to meet my kiddos.  But for now . . .  this.
 I’ll just let that speak for itself as it speaks to me right now loudly and clearly. 🙂
I hope you all have a great weekend.  I’m off to celebrate one of my most best friends in the world as she gets married tomorrow <3  I hope your weekends are filled with smiles!

    I love your desk! It is so cute!! I almost got rid of my desk entirely, it is almost just more of a computer work space now, but you almost make me want to have a desk back just so I have somewhere to decorate as cute as that!! I can't wait to see the amazing new things on your new blog too!! Thank you for sharing your amazing work with so many of us!!

    I saw similar contact paper at Target and I chickened out of doing it, I'm afraid mine will end up crooked. After seeing how fab yours looks I kind of want to try it now!
