Alive and well!

Happy Friday everyone! 

I am so glad that all of you dedicated bloggers

continue to post when I have trouble keeping up. 

Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!!

What have I been up to? 

School, school, school,

with a dash of Facebook,

and a sprinkling of Pinterest for some extra flavor.

Here are some "before" photos of my new classroom.

Let me be honest when I say my desk does NOT

look much better than it did when I took the picture!

Here are some "afters":

Wait....apparently I never took any!!

I saw this cute idea *somewhere* (Pinterest?  blog??),

and I would LOVE to give credit,

but I cannot figure out where I found it! 

I took pictures of my kiddos posing like they were

being lifted off the ground by a bunch of ballons.



After printing them out, I cut out their bodies,

and attached them to die cut balloons. 

They are actually ovals, but close enough, right?

On the balloons, I wrote down 3-4 goals

the students have for the year. 

(They came up with their goals with their parents.) 

The finals results look like this:

So long....farewell....until next time!
