Today I am linking up with Teacher by the Beach to show off my teacher bag. Over the years, I have used many different bags. Bags that were given to us from the district, given to me as gifts, and even bags that I had left over from my glory days working at Bath and Body Works. Do you remember all the amazing totes they used to give out when you would spend a certain amount? I have about 20. Well this year I received a 31 bag that trumps any of my other bags. I actually received it as a Christmas gift from one of my students. I literally cried when I opened it. I honestly had never received anything that wonderful. Her and her mom even had it … [Read more...] about My teacher bag!

My Erin Condren Lesson Planner Review
WARNING: This is a LONG post, but if you are seriously thinking about buying an EC Teaching Panner then read on through! It’s no lie that Erin Condren is the QUEEN of organization products. Last year I was determined to purchase one of her teacher’s lesson planners. I watched the video over and over and loved everything that it offered. Once I picked my design and ordered it, I sat on pins and needles waiting for it to arrive! When it did, I was ecstatic to say the least. I actually planned on writing a review right away but of course I got busy and the idea was put on hold. I am glad I held off because at the time, it would have been a rave … [Read more...] about My Erin Condren Lesson Planner Review
The best TPT purchase… EVER.
So I come across this pin one day… Early Finishers Tub I think it is super cute and clever, I pin it, and I keep on pinning. You know how that is, right? Fast-forward to one September morning where one of my little early finishers come to me and says “I always have to read after I am done… can I do something else?” I got so caught up in helping my kiddos and just saying “when you are done, grab a book” that I didn’t realize how boring this can be a few times a day and every day especially to those that don’t know how to read yet. I immediately remembered my pin and jumped online and bought it from the amazing Crystal. BEST. PURCHASE. EVER. … [Read more...] about The best TPT purchase… EVER.
How Do You Do It?!?!
I am at a loss here. I want to know how on earth you other teachers manage to not only teach all day but blog regularly, have a life, and make these AWESOME products?! I feel like I am struggling here. Is there some secret I am missing? If so, please share. I will be forever grateful! Anyhow, I have been working hard to get things ready for literacy centers. Don’t get me wrong, I have been doing them since the beginning of school but now I am slowly starting to implement these A-MA-ZING ideas that we got at a workshop last year. It was one of those trainings that open up your eyes and you hear angels singing in the background. It was THAT. GOOD. The … [Read more...] about How Do You Do It?!?!
Favorite Lesson: LITTER! and a Freebie!
I wish I could have posted this sooner but I really wanted to wait until this weekend so I can share a freebie with y’all. This week we did one of my most favorite lessons EVER. It’s one of those “they will never forget this” lessons. (I love those) After lunch, the kiddos came back to our room looking like THIS: I stay outside making sure everyone says our “password” (word of the week) and you can hear them go dead silent. You can tell they are scared to tell me something is terribly wrong. Finally one of my kiddos gets up the nerve to say “Mrs. Wright, you made a huge mess at lunch time. You should have cleaned up.” HILARIOUS. I … [Read more...] about Favorite Lesson: LITTER! and a Freebie!
Classroom Reveal!
Last week was insane. Like meetingournewprincipal-learningaboutnewchanges-districtmeetings-gettingourclassroomreadyintwodays-workingtwoSaturdays insane. I am glad it is over with. SO. GLAD. May I also add: THANK GOD FOR MY MOM AND HUBBY. My hubby moved everything into my room and due to construction, I promise you it was a more than daunting task. My mom BUSTED some booty helping me organize and set everything up (a lot of the time while I was going back and forth trying to get things other than my classroom done). Seriously, I should place a mommy-monument dedicated to her in my classroom. I am really sad that I couldn’t have debuted my classroom … [Read more...] about Classroom Reveal!
