School is Calling... I am midway through summer and really enjoying it!  I finally finished my distance learning classes so I am actually able to relax a little bit.  But guess what?  Suddenly, school is calling me!  I am starting to think about what this next year will bring.  I have tried ignoring it, but somehow it keeps creeping back into my mind:) 
We are starting a new literacy curriculum, Journeys, and I am excited about that.  I went to a half day inservice where we got a chance to learn about the curriculum. It looks great!  Of course, when you start a new curriculum, it takes time to learn so I plan to spend some extra time planning this year.

Here are a few pictures of the decorations I am going to use in my room this year.  As I mentioned in my last post, I am decorating with lime green, hot pink, black, and white.  I made some tissue paper pompoms and I plan to use the pink fabric and different wrapping papers to cover bulletin boards.  I totally love the penant boarder. I can't wait to see the room after I decorate!  I am heading in to school this week so I will post the finished product when I get a chance!

I am working on my first few projects for Teachers Pay Teachers right now.  I doubt that I'll make much money, but it is fun!  You can see my store here:  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Mrs-Bittner

Well, I better get back to playing with my daughter!  Have a great week!
