Flash Freebie

I am a terrible blog owner!

I have not blogged in forever and a day!

One of the reasons I have been so busy is I adopted a new little friend

Meet Gatsby:
This was the day that I met Gatsby and chose him out of his 9 brothers and sisters.
 
He is a frustrating little lad, but he is cute. He is a lab/something mix. We have finally accomplished sleeping through the night and how to sit. Potty training is....so so.
 
I'll post more pictures of him and Rory tonight for those that are interested...maybe even a video if I can figure out how!
 
While I have been puppy training I have been cataloguing topics to write about here and ideas of products to make. We only have 14 more days of school so hopefully I will have time to catch up on life and business soon!

We are in the dreaded testing season here at my school. I hate this time of year. I like order and patterns and routines. Testing throws all that out of the window which drives me batty!

Teachersnotebook has a new flash freebie tool that allows me to offer a product for free for a limited time to people who have previously purchased an item from my store.

I decided to offer my HUGE English review prezi with handout for a limited time Sunday night from 7-10pm

Hope that the end of your school year is going well!

Talk to you soon!

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom.  I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls.  I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about  Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos).  Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found  This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample  that accented my walls.  The last step was gluing the print to the insulation board. I liked  this spray  the best because I could reposition the print in case I didn't line it up just so. After I got ...

Music for the Middle School Classroom

One of my most popular posts ever was my  Pandora Stations for the Middle School Classroom I thought I would let you guys know about another gem that I found that my students LOVED! Rhett Price on Youtube does violin covers of current popular songs. When my classes were doing independent work I would put his channel on a playlist in the background (just listening, not watching). It was awesome to see the students bopping along and singing to themselves as they worked.  ***Tip: Because my kids were so into these songs there was never a peep from anyone. If anyone dared to try to speak the rest of the class would shush them so they could keep listening.  Here are a few of my students favorites: Rhett Price Youtube Channel Save Save
