Mrs. Tina's Tots

So, I've kinda taken a long break, but I have a good reason. We lost our sweet german shepherd last Thursday. Ever since then our whole house has been in an state of disarray. We lost him far too soon. He was only 3 1/2. However, he was not healthy. Food allergies, auto-immune disease, and we found out a few months ago, arthritis. At 3.5 years :(, and it   was severe.  He laid around and cried all the time, and he wasn't responding to the pain medications. The vet told us that he was never going to get any better, and he wasn't safe around our kids anymore because he was getting so snappy if he got bumped. So, we decided to go ahead, and put him down. Hardest. Thing. Ever....But we felt it was for the best for everyone. We are very sad though...so with all of that I kinda got off track. On a happier note. I've still been getting ready for August. I go back to school in 2 weeks, and the kids get there in 4!! I was finally able to get into my room Wednesday, so I put al...

 HAPPY JULY 4th!!In honor of the 4th I'm throwing a 20% off sale in my TpT store! It will last until midnight! Check it out, and enjoy your day! I'm going to be taking it easy at home today with my little family, cooking out!

Happy July y'all!! We can start expecting the back to school ads to start rolling strong now! While I'm not quite ready to think about getting back into my classroom I am excited to share my Monday Made It today!! It's my classroom decor bundle! It's fairy tales, and it's presh, AND it's printer friendly!! I tried to make it colorful and adorable without breaking the bank on the ink cost! I'm also in the process of adding all of the elements individually to TpT in case you don't need all of it. That will have to wait until nap time though because my baby is in the process of dragging my clean laundry all over the house :), and I'm not feeling well today :(. So I will absolutely have everything up by tomorrow. But, here are some previews for now, and I hope you enjoy it if you still need a theme, or would like to add one to your color scheme! Click on the first picture to check it out today!

I can't believe this is the last full week of June!! It's not fair! However, I can say that I've had the best month with my kids! Any next month I will hopefully be able to get into my classroom, and get busy! With that said, I am linking up with Tara for Made It Monday! I'm loving this linky! I'm getting so many wonderful project ideas from you all! Now, to be quite honest I haven't done much this week. I've been at my parents since Friday afternoon, and I didn't get much accomplished before that either, but I do have a couple of things done. Nothing mind blowing, but still something accomplished! Made It #1 Glue sponges. I used Mr. Greg's video tutorial to make these babies. I hope they work like I am wanting them to. I HATE all the glue issues in my classroom so hopefully these are the answer to my problems!! I also have a little confession to make. My 5 year old daughter made these. I supervised and bought materials. :) She wanted to help...

I just uploaded a sweet little word wall to TpT! It's a light blue and orange chevron word wall, with all of the sight words from Pearson's Reading Street Series (Kindergarten). I'm going to add the Amazing Words (vocabulary), and Dolch and Fry words for those of you that use those as sight words. I hope you enjoy it! Click on the picture to pick yours up!

Better late than never right? I had a crazy busy day yesterday with my kiddos, and today I was out of power for most of the afternoon. :/ Now that the baby is asleep I have a little time to catch up! I was super busy this week making several things that I saw from you all last week! :) I'm linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics! First up my copy/file/grade drawers! I saw these last week from Tara, and I've also seen them on several blogs, and of course pintrest! :) I also finally decided on a theme for my room next year....fairy tales!! SIDESTORY: I teach in a little school where I am the only kindergarten teacher, which means I get to teach my own daughter next year! Excited and nervous...anyone ever taught their own kids before?? Tips?! Anyway, she wanted me to do my room in princesses. I looked and didn't see very much on princesses, I was thinking princesses, princes, dragons, medieval really. So, I gave up, and decided to do bright chevron. I wasn't totally hap...

Hey guys! I'm linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!!  I finally got my act together, and made a teacher toolbox! I. LOVE. IT! I am going to redo the labels with a cuter font (new computer, and wasn't sure what I wanted or how I wanted to dress the labels up!) , and straighten up that tape. There were a few minor issues that went with this little project. My daughter picked the bubble gum pink color :). The main problem was the painting. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and there are a lot of bugs. A LOT! They kept getting stuck in my paint, and I would have to add another coat of paint, and so on but I finally got it all together. I also couldn't decide what use to dress up the labels. My classroom theme is chevron {along with everyone else :)}, and I found some bright and cute chevron duck tape at Walmart! It was perfect!! If you look at the very bottom left box I wanted to totally frame the label, but I think it looks much better doing...
