Five for Friday! {Back to School Style}

I am linking up again with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday Linky Party! If you read my post last week about my mystery package, you can read about what I made here! (It is under Made it 1)

 

So here are my 5 random things from this week of how I am (mostly) preparing for Back to School!

 

I finally finished my Year Of Kindergarten Writing.

 I am so excited about using this as a tool for RTI, measuring their progress and creating an end of the year book for their parents! If you are interested to know more about this journal you can read about it here! It is under Made it 3. You can also find this journal here on my TpT store.

 

 

Yes, I have already completed some B2S shopping! EEK!! I bought baskets, chairs, mini trashcans, sight word dice, sight word writing strips and wall thingys for my Word Wall. I got all of this at Target and Dollar Tree. I loved those chairs so much, I just got back from Target and bought 2 more. Yes, I am addicted to B2S shopping. Am I the only one who likes crafting for my classroom more than my house?! If you want to read more about my finds in details, click here to read my post about Summer Shopping Finds!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my goodness y'all, did I mention I am addicted to B2S shopping? After posting my finds the other day, I went to Big Lots and I was in B2S heaven!

 

I ended up hitting 2 Big Lots and will have to do some stalking for their next shipment! I was so excited to see the magazine holders because my kiddos book boxes needed a new look. And they were in blue and green so I mean, if my husband asks tell him it was a necessity! :) Yes the green isn't in the exact shade that I would use but it will work. I am thinking I will use the big baskets for my updated classroom library (still on my summer to-do list) and the magazine boxes will be there too so I think it will all be pulled together in the same area.

 

 

 

Andrew had a little play date this week with another kinder teacher's baby. It was so nice to talk to an adult and watch Andrew interact. BTW, he is such a flirt!

 

 

 

 

I love summer nights with my little family. We had fun playing outside and going to get ice cream at this little ice cream shop in town. Love making memories!
