Blogging, Jena, Color Words and my Dollar Tree Find

I DID IT!!! I am finally here! I have plunged into the world of blogging!! Something I said I would never do! Go figure!!  What would I have to blog about? Well one thing that I can tell you is that after 7 years of doing a jungle/monkey theme in my classroom I'm changing over to a western theme (more to come on that later). Yee-Haw!!! So I thought it befitting to have my blog reflect that change. I absolutely love my blog design.  With that said, I want to send a shout-out to my girl - Jena -over at 1st Grade With Miss Snowden .  She is an absolutely fabulous blog designer!!! Many of you may already know her work.  So if you have been thinking about starting a new blog or are in desperate need of a make-over, check her out!! I guarantee you won't be disappointed! She was so patient with me-through my several changes and add-ons.  My own daughter asked me did I give her a hard time-it's a shame when people know you so well!! I don't think I was too bad! Thanks again Jena for the fabulously fly job on my blog and being my first follower!! You rock!!!


I know many of you are gearing up for back to school. As teachers, why do we find it so hard to turn it off? I guess it's just that passion/heart for teaching.  I like to start the year off with a review of color words. So I was so excited when I found these cute Crayola Crayon books at the Dollar Tree.  Aren't they adorable?



Here is what it looks like on the inside:


I also created a color words review book.  You can grab a copy by clicking on the picture below:


My Teachers Notebook store is set up but I don't have anything posted yet due to technical difficulties.  Bear with me as I get this process going. If you can provide any assistance with uploading files that would be wonderful.  If you grab a copy of the color words book, don't forget to send me some love and tell me what you think about my first freebie, if the link is working, and how my blog looks from your view!! 
Well that's all folks!!!
