TPT Seller Challenge: Dare to Dream

For week 2 of the TPT Seller Challenge, we were challenged to dream about the future.

At any given time, I have at least 20 thoughts buzzing in my brain. So, pinning down MAJOR dreams and thoughts was difficult. 

BUT! I did it.

Here they are: 

1. << For real>> Graduate from Grad School

    I've been in grad school for about 3 years and I *think* I am finally done! I am so hesitant to accept that I made it through. 

When I get the paper in my hand, I will be able to relax.

2. Buy a new MacBook

I am an Apple fanatic. I love my MacBook, but after 4 years, I am due for an upgrade. 

I really need...okay, want a new one.

3. Make $1,000 on TpT

I've made a little bit of money, but I would love to really make a solid amount of money. 

4. Travel to Europe

I have always dreamed of going to Europe. My favorite soccer team is in Madrid. I love traveling. I love new adventures. I have to go!!

Check out other bloggers and their dreams for the future.

Hope your summer has been drier than mine! 

Summer Has Arrived!

Summa, Summa, Summa time. Summa time! 

Sing with me!

      

Well, friends, I am finally out for the summer! I plan to:

-get a lot of work done

-read, read, read

-relax

-have fun!

I hope you all are planning an easy going break!

The end of the year was full of excitement!

Some of my kiddos earned awards,

I packed up the nook,

And I made summer packets!

Every year, I send my kiddos home with summer packets. I know that many of them will not even think about reading or keeping their brain sharp, but I have to give them option.

This year I put their summer work in bright yellow summer bags.

At the front of the packet was a letter to parents that described the packet and ways to have fun over the summer.

For the younger kids, I gave work from the Moffatt Girls summer packet, pencils, sight word cards, and everyone’s favorite, crayons!

The younger kids were so excited to get…crayons.

For the older kids, I gave them a packet for reading and a packet for math, my summer reading fun calendar, sight word cards, pencils, a calculator, and pop rocks.

I also made them take their poems and books home from reading intervention.

Before school was totally out, one of my kiddos said he had already started working! YAY!

I told them that if they brought back work that they completed, I will give them a prize.

I’m really hoping someone chooses to keep their brain sharp!

I also have an amazing assistant!

I had to show her my appreciation! I was looking at ideas for assistant gifts online and found the cutest idea!

I got the tag from Sunny Days Blog.

I included a bunch of orange colored items. I think it turned out great!

I hope everyone has a great summer!
