Creative Teaching Press Giveaway!

The 2014-2015 school year is my 10th year in the classroom. 10 years! I can't quite believe it. I don't feel old enough to have had 9 previous classrooms full of kids! In those previous 9 years I've taught kindergarten, second, third, and my absolute favorite... fifth!

And for my 10th year in the classroom 

I really want to overhaul my class decor.

A bit about the teaching version of me: I'm a minimalist, I like everything to have it's place, I like things to be organized... a skill I learned from my military father. He's all about having a space (most of the time properly labeled!) for things. His garage is one of the most organized places ever!

And truthfully, I'm so thankful that I grew up with that instilled in me. It's part of my personality. And it just makes teaching so much easier when I don't have to go searching for things.

So why am I talking about this now? 

I'm sure many of you have seen the awesome giveaway Creative Teaching Press is doing!  If you haven't, you should get yourself over there and ENTER...

So in my dream world where I won one of the $200 gift cards to all their products... I'd be like a kid in a candy store with $200! Can you imagine? I'd have a giant stomach ache, after eating every candy in sight, but I'd be so happy!

And right now? I'm obsessed with their Chevron stuff. I think this is me! Chevrons are so fun, and I love their chevron name plates, the borders, everything! The blue and white is so fresh and clean. And would look great around the big windows in my classroom! Or the slate gray, which is so popular right now! New borders, new desk plates, new signs... it's time!
