Back to School Blogger Exchange and a Freebie

I was so excited to participate in a Back to School Blogger Exchange hosted by Jessica at  Covered In Glitter And Glue and by Katie at Adventures Of Ms Smith.  

 These were our instructions to follow:

I was so excited to receive my package on one of the craziest days of my summer! :)  It could not have arrived on a better day and brought it brought so much cheer to me!  My package came from Pam over at Moments To Teach.  She really nailed it on with everything she sent.  My classroom will be blue and green this year with owls.  Everything she sent will match perfectly.

Included in my package was:

1.  Magnetic Board

2.  Owl Reading Awards and Cut-Outs

3.  Some place mats that I will use by my desk

4.  An owl puzzle

5.  A solar flower decoration to brighten up my room

6.  A flower decoration

7.  A white board/picture frame that was made into a to-do list

I love them all.  One of my sons has been playing with some of the items.  I'll have to sneak them out of the house when I set up my room.  :)  Thanks Pam!  You did great!!

I am also very excited to share this freebie with you!  I was soooooo excited when I saw that Nikki over at Melonheadz Illustrating posted this fun clip art set!

You can find the clip art by clicking here.

I knew I had to do something with it!!  Duck Dynasty is one show that my family and I sit down and watch together and laugh at!  I still remember the first time I watched it with my boys.  I didn't know what I was getting into.  I laughed so hard.  I love how they really incorporate family togetherness in their show and I love how the show ends with them at dinner...together.  We may or may not have sat down and watched marathons of this show....hours and hours of it!    I created this freebie that I am going to hang outside my classroom door for the first day of school.  

You can find it by clicking here.  Enjoy!

If you haven't entered my giveaway...you may want to do that as well.  You can find out about it by clicking here.

I hope you have a great weekend!  My family and I will be celebrating the one year anniversary of my mom's kidney transplant.  My cousin generously gave her one!  I can't wait to see all my family!

Back to School Freebies & 2 Giveaways

I cannot believe how fast these days are flying by.  I only have 2 more weeks at home before we go back to school.  My mind is constantly on school.  We got our class lists today.  They will change before school starts so I am not writing names on anything yet.  Today I worked on book bin labels that I am going to share with you.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE books.  I am constantly finding new ones to add to my classroom library and I am constantly changing them out.  When I started these labels, I thought I would have just a few, but it got to be a large file.   I will be cutting the labels out and will be laminating them and attaching them to my book baskets.  I will switch the labels on the baskets as I switch out books.   You can get them here.

These labels match my Get Organized Pack.  You can find that here.  This pack is filled with things for you to use to set up your classroom.

I also created another freebie for you.  I just figured out how to make banners tonight.  I was pretty impressed with how easy it was.  These also coordinate with my Get Organized Pack.  There are 4 banners in all.  Read, Write, Jobs and Welcome are the banners that you can create with these letters.  I am planning on cutting them out, laminating them and attaching them to a ribbon.  You can get your freebie here.

I hope you enjoy them.  After you are done downloading your freebies you can hop on over to this post to enter my giveaway that I am having.

You should also check out  Polka Dot Kinders.  Sara is having a giveaway that you do not want to miss out on!!!  Good luck!

Have a great day!
