Sound Munchers!!!

My friend Nicole told me about sound munchers a while ago. She is a former Kinder teacher, and as I stated before, I am a newbie this year. I went to Dollar Tree this evening in search of the collapsible crates that were blogged about earlier today, but alas, my store did not have any. They did, however, have the mini garbage cans that were PERFECT for my muncher people!! Yay!! I purchased 4 and drew cute faces on them. I have a bag full of sticker letters in my storage room, so they will get spruced up when I unpack my stuff. Yay for Nicole and her advice and yay for only spending $4 on a great reusable center!!! 

Postcard Exchange

Mechele has started a new postcard exchange which I am super pumped about since my friend claimed Mississippi just minutes before I could on the other exchange. Check out her exchange HERE and see if your state is still available!!

And Happy 4th of July a little late! Just got back from Destin this afternoon and didn't blog the whole time I was there :(


too busy tanning :)

Beach Bliss!

I arrived in Destin yesterday afternoon, so today was my first full day at the beach - and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

And to top of my wonderful day - I was the winner of Fairy Dust Teaching's giveaway!! How freakin' cool!!

As I stated earlier, this will be my first year teaching Kindergarten. My mother-in-law is a veteran Autistic teacher and has taught students of all age. Luckily, she is at the beach with me and has been giving me little tidbits of advice here and there.

Today has been a TERRIFIC day!!! :)
