Bloglovin

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Apparently it is the trend to move things over to bloglovin so that is what I am doing!  Making sure I can read my blogs.  I will update with any information I learn from here!

**UPDATE**

Ok, I think I got it now (after moving over 40 blogs over to bloglovin).  Apparently, the little feed when you log into blogger is going to be gone at the bottom starting July 1.  That means if you want all the blogs you read in one place, you need to move them over to bloglovin.  When you log in it tells you it is transferring, but that does not mean they are there.  You need to search each name  and then hit follow.  check.

Then you can create different groups to sort by (I kind of like I can look at my design blogs separate from my grade level ones from my just great ideas ones!)

Ok, I got that. Next, download the Bloglovin app so I can read my blogs on the go.  check.

Then you need to create a "follow me on bloglovin link" on top and on the side bar. check.

Then you need to get everyone to transfer you over to THEIR bloglovin account...IN PROGRESS!
You can click the link at the right to follow me on bloglovin or the link at the top of this blog.  PLEASE, move on over and follow me there.

A HUGE SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU TO "A TURN TO LEARN" WHO GAVE ME THE STEP BY STEPS ON HOW DO ALL OF THIS!  PLEASE VISIT HER SITE (ON BLOGLOVIN) AND SHOW HER SOME LOVE FOR ALL OF HER HARD WORK!

I'm BACK! New products and Classroom Decor-Apple a day

Holy Cow Blogging World, I am back!

It has been a CRAZY wrap up of the school year!  I had no idea what I was getting myself into trying to blog and complete my first year of teaching, but it is done, I think I have a routine for next year, and I have had a little R and R and I am back to getting back to this.

Today, I spent the time updating my binders and then making a template for my friends!  They are available on my TpT store.  I have blogs about these in past pages to put the two together as well!

I created my Graduation materials for my class' graduation ceremony, but I just now got them up to TpT today. (I know, to late for this year but they are SO ready for next year, now!)

For my class graduation, I made diplomas, an invite, a program, and a powerpoint.  The thing with graduation is, parents love to have all the cute stuff with their name in it.  The problem is, in order to make it editable so you, too, can put their cute little names in them; it makes the images able to be removed which goes against many of the terms of use of the products I purchase/download.

What I did to make the rules safe and sound, is the things
I could compress I did.  If it needed to be editable, I deleted the things that I could not share due to ToU.  If you want the editable things to match, I left the credits in the final page.  You can then add the background yourself from that link (and move to back) and then you got it directly from that seller.  Sorry, if that makes it harder, but it is the best I can do (until I learn more I guess!)  I made it a graduation pack.  Please let me know if you need any help with it or something is missing wrong!

To Link up with Applelicious Teacher, I am going to talk a bit about my decor from this year into next year!

I am doing a Chevron Themed room next year.  I have been trying to do this through out this past school year, but over the summer I plan on continuing it through-out.  I am going to be making my Chevron number line, pennant banners on the windows, labels for the play centers, Alphabet on the wall, and more!  I am also making my bulletin boards covered in fabric (I took my previous fabric off the board to cover a chair at home--it was a small chevron making the board look like it is moving so it will do much better on a chair) and putting bin labels on everything (also chevron!).    I have also been working on my binders (above) becoming chevron through out. I will post pictures at it is complete!
Things I have done already and I love:
Banners labeling some areas
Repurposed bubble gum boxes into book boxes for the students!
Table Numbers

Old fabric on the board
(don't worry, I'll show you the  chair when that is done this summer,  too).
I will also post when I have the new fabric...thinking of going
with my favorite color-Purple- rather than Chevron (hard to find chevron
fabric in this area that is not to small)
UPDATE!  HERE IS MY CHEVRON COVERED CHAIR!

Until next time, and until more updates, 
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER ALL MY TEACHER FRIENDS!  YOU DESERVE THIS "BREAK" AND TIME TO RECHARGE!
