Back to School with Oriental Trading

I can't believe I am already setting up my classroom and waiting for rosters to be settled! Summer went a little fast but now the brain needs to start thinking about the school year! There is so much prep for teachers to do before the first day of school! I am so thankful that Oriental Trading has many great items that I can get and some of the best prices around! They have items for your reading nook, crafts supplies, organization, and so much more!

A few of the items I picked up for my classroom include some motivational tools such as the bracelets above and the finger hand cheers! Then I also picked up some posters for my classroom and organization storage items.

The brain break cards will be used often as a warm up in the morning or between tasks throughout the day.

These foam finger hands are going to help keep kids thinking positive. I am currently working on my thesis and it is all regarding positive thinking and words so I will for sure be utilizing these to help my students stay positive.

There are many borders and posters to choose from and these are a couple I picked out! SUCH GREAT CHOICES for a AWESOME price!

I also picked up some of these dry erase clings for the tables. I am so excited to use them! I know I will use them daily with my 95% curriculum.

I am getting close to being ready for students in a couple weeks but now I must soak in some more sunshine before it's too late!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
