School Is Out For Summer!!

I did it!! I successfully completed my first year as a 5th grade teacher......and they asked me to come back next year! So I must have done something right! Seriously - I love my school, I love 5th grade, I love my team, and I love the people I get to work with! I might be the only teacher who is excited to for the next school year!

So today was my first official day of summer break and I was up with the puppy at 5am.....so much for sleeping in. Good thing she is cute.

We added Violet to our family in April. She is the best silver lab! I love her so much and can't wait to spend my time with her. Of course in between my two son's and their travel baseball games! This summer will fly by and yet I have so many things I want to accomplish for the next school year.

Today I got my Erin Condren teacher planner and I couldn't wait to start decorating and planning in it. Yep, the first day of break and I am already planning! I absolutely love her teacher planners. This is my second year using her planners. I do not get any credit for mentioning her store or planners but I am of the mindset that if something is working for you to share it with others. Head over to her store here to get yours. I promise you will love it!

So here is how I left my room. We cannot get into our rooms until early August due to construction so I will be using these pictures to plan my room for next year. Now that I have a year under my belt with the school, teachers, and curriculum I have so many ideas that I want to implement. So many things I want to change for next year. So stay tuned for my room progress. Happy Summer!
