I’m finally getting into the groove of my new job and I’ll be creating some new things for my classroom. This is a much different role for me. I’m currently teaching K, 1, 2, 3 and a 5th grader who just came to the U.S. I have 15 different groups of kids throughout the week to plan for and many different needs too, so you’ll be seeing a bunch of different things from me. Â I’m also helping as a literacy coach and making sure our teachers have the literacy materials they need for the week’s intervention times. Â Besides, let’s just say, I’m a busy girl and I get by with a little help from my friends! Praise the Lord for good friends, who make great resources.Â
 Meanwhile my sweet first grade friends were having fun with my Chrysanthemum unit and I love seeing their work. Â

In addition to all the school activities above, I’m also working on letters, sounds and names with my kinder babies. Â In our school, the Kindergarten uses Handwriting without Tears. Â They also use the HWT alphabet. Â I wanted to make sure I’m the same page as their teachers and I made a little alphabet chart and alphabet book to practice that would match the pictures used in their classroom. Â You can download both free below. Â I’ll be posting some of our name fun in the next post.Â

As you may know, we just moved and I’ve been making lots of purchases to help decorate our new home. Â I just got a few new things that I’m so excited about!Â
I’m loving our little paper organizer in our mudroom.
Â
 I got this idea from Bless’er House and I’m in love. I still need a few knick knacks.
My sweet friend Amy brought us this beautiful purple mum for our porch.Â
 I just got this fun lantern and pillow and blanket for the fireplace. Now to decorate around the rest of the mantel.Â
 And this came today and made me so happy! I love my new scale/clock.  It’s my favorite new purchase. Â
I’ve been pinning like crazy!Â
I love fall fashion and home decor. You can check out some of my favorite boards here:
