<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hey there! Hope everyone is having a great week so far! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We've had a fun few days learning about Johnny Appleseed. :) I am finally enjoying my class. We were off to a rocky start with so many students {28!}, but we've learned the rules and routines {plus we're down to 22!} ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I just finished my newsletter and homework for next week. I've decided to try "Spelling Choices" for part of our homework. I attempted this last year and the <strike>parents </strike>students had a hard time figuring it out. So, I revamped my choice menu with pictures <i>and </i>directions. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hey everyone! Hope you are enjoying your Saturday. Mine has been spent cleaning, doing laundry, and of course, catching up on more school stuff. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm still exhausted each day...27 students will do that to you. I feel for everyone out there with a big group of firsties (or any grade level!). Even though we're getting better at following rules and routines...the amount of tattling has escalated!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We're going to have some lessons this week on tattling vs. reporting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I made this poster to help my students remember what to tell and what not to tell. :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I used a heart with a band-aid for "someone is hurt" to remind them that someone can be physically hurt or their feelings might be hurt. :(</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The "just an accident" is for all those times someone accidentally bumps into someone or someone steps on someone's hand at the carpet or someone breathed on someone.....I could go on and on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Kelso's Choices are different ways to handle situations before going to the teacher. I found it on Pinterest. I just "Googled" it to find the wheel of choices.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">These past three weeks have kicked my boo-tay. I have been exhausted after wrangling 26 first graders all day with little/no help! This is the largest class I've ever had. Luckily, there is the possibility of another class opening up...but not until after the first quarter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Happy Monday! I can't believe I only have two weeks left until school starts! Yikes...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This week I decided to transform my clipboard. Here's the before. B.o.r.i.n.g!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Can you believe I've been carrying this thing around for the past few years?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">And now...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I just love duct tape! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I also made a behavior clip chart a couple of weeks ago. However, I've since read <a href="http://www.ateenytinyteacher.com/2012/07/i-dont-use-clip-chart-please-dont-throw.html" target="_blank"><b>THIS POST</b></a> by <i>Kristin </i>at <i>The Teeny Tiny Teacher</i>. So now I think I'm going to ditch my clip chart and go for the yellow tags! I wanted to share it any way since I'm a little sad I won't be using it. I figure I'll save it <strike>for when the students start acting like they don't know what in the world school is all about</strike> if we need a change.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">YAY! I have been able to get so much done! Only two people at my school are allowed to use the laminator, so needless to say, I haven't been able to laminate anything this summer!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">It's Monday, again! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> I've been looking forward to Mondays this summer. I know that will change v.e.r.y. soon. I only have two more before school starts. :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">My Mom and I spent the weekend painting two things for my classroom. They are both thrift store finds and were cute before, but they just didn't match my room colors/decor. The pencils are now light blue and light green.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I actually made this on Monday night, but haven't had time to sit down and blog about it until now! :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's my inspiration:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.learninginwonderland.com/2012/07/recycled-box-tops-container.html" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="188" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EzPsb803UMA/UAdXV-cEJEI/AAAAAAAAAVw/t-9uJDvVE1k/s200/2012-07-18_2037.png" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Source: Learning in Wonderland</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to have a place for all those Box Tops. I've tried sending home those sheets where they can glue them on, but only a few students ever use them. The rest of the kids who collect them just come in carrying them in their hands (and usually end up putting them on my table) or I find them crammed in their homework folders (even though that sheet I gave them for collecting them is in the folder....hmmm....). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The only thing I could find to use that I already had was an empty Kleenex box.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I just covered it in zebra duct tape!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">And then I added a title!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I am loving summer!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">However, I can't believe it's halfway over. :( </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm linking up with <a href="http://4thgradefrolics.blogspot.com/2012/07/monday-made-it-5-woop-woop.html" target="_blank">4th Grade Frolics</a> for Monday Made It! I feel like I've finally done something productive this summer. Every other day has been spent lounging in pajamas, reading, watching TV, reading blogs, checking Pinterest, watching TV, reading blogs, checking Pinterest, ...............</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I was planning on buying a hanging file organizer this month. So glad I found this great idea <a href="http://remarkable-home.blogspot.com/2011/03/file-folder-paper-organizer-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> I made my own! :) I made mine a little bit different since I don't have a sewing machine. Duct tape to the rescue! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I used six file folders, tape, zebra duct tape, and stickers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm going to use this for the things that were always on my teacher table or bookcase last year: various papers that need to put in the right place, extra stuff (newsletters, behavior calendars, etc.), clinic passes, counselor passes, and Box Top sheets.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">***Several bloggers have asked me to post instructions. Here are the steps I used. I basically followed the directions from the link I posted above where I found this idea. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Each file folder has a front and a back. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. The front and back both have an inside and an outside.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. The inside is where your papers would go if you were using the folder the regular way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. F<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;">old down the tab edge of each folder to the outside of the front of the file folder. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. Glue the inside of the back side of one folder to the outside of the back side of the folder that will be above it. (I know this sounds confusing, but you'll get it! :) )</span><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"> The folders will be nesting inside of each other.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. I then used duct tape on the edges to secure the folders. Then I added a little strip to kind of separate each folder.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. Once you put the duct tape on the edges you may need to cut little slits on each side where the folder opens so that your papers will fit in smoothly. (The folders are not going to open up very far, but I don't plan on putting much in each pocket at one time.)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope these instructions are helpful!! :)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I am loving summer!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">However, I can't believe it's halfway over. :( </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm linking up with <a href="http://4thgradefrolics.blogspot.com/2012/07/monday-made-it-5-woop-woop.html" target="_blank">4th Grade Frolics</a> for Monday Made It! I feel like I've finally done something productive this summer. Every other day has been spent lounging in pajamas, reading, watching TV, reading blogs, checking Pinterest, watching TV, reading blogs, checking Pinterest, ...............</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I was planning on buying a hanging file organizer this month. So glad I found this great idea <a href="http://remarkable-home.blogspot.com/2011/03/file-folder-paper-organizer-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> I made my own! :) I made mine a little bit different since I don't have a sewing machine. Duct tape to the rescue! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I used six file folders, tape, zebra duct tape, and stickers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm going to use this for the things that were always on my teacher table or bookcase last year: various papers that need to put in the right place, extra stuff (newsletters, behavior calendars, etc.), clinic passes, counselor passes, and Box Top sheets.</span></div>
