We've already established that I just CAN'T seem to switch off my brain and school mode.
Am I the only teacher shopping for next year already?!?!
It's not my fault Party City had 30% off sale today.... I was waiting patiently for my shopping spree,
but with this coupon I just couldn't hold off any longer.
{It may be a problem admitting this now that my hubby started reading my blog... I can't spill the beans on here the way I used to...}
I CAN'T wait to decorate my room next year!!!
Here's a little freebie for you :)
Hadar {Miss-Kindergarten} & I
made this goodie bag tag to go along with my theme for the first day of school.I'm including to tag without the border so you can match it to your own classroom theme.
Just throw some fun clip art & border of your choice.
Feel free to adjust it to your needs :)
Click on the image below to grab it for free.
{this tag was inspired by this pin from Tasha over at Serenade to Second Grade}
Here's a cute version of it with a border for you to print

As I create new things I promise to share :)
One of my biggest projects this coming summer to reorganize my Pinterest boards so that I can actually use the ideas I pin!! {what a concept}
I started working on my boards and let me tell you.... it is no joke! It's a serious task!
Do any of you ACTUALLY use and refer back to ideas you pinned?

I'm also SUPER psyched about the upcoming book study with some of my fellow bloggers!
We're going to do an Upper Grades {4-6} study for the Daily 5 & CAFE.
Book Study will begin the first week of July and there will be lots of great discussion & freebies to go along with it. I promise to keep you posted and give you more info. as we figure it all out.
Hope you had a WONDERFUL long weekend!!!
