Summer Bucket List

There are a lot of things I want to accomplish over the summer and I noticed a Summer Bucket List linky going on, so I thought I'd jump in and participate!

1. Revamp my class website - Since I am moving to a new district, I need to update some things and I want to make my classroom site a little more beachy to reflect the Beach Brains theme. 
2. Work on organizing my new classroom space - I won't be able to do this until July, but I have a feeling I will be reading a lot of the Clutter Free Classroom's blog for ideas!
3. Turn our office into a nursery - My wife and I are very excited about this! While we're waiting for our future son & daughter, we're going to have fun making preparations. I wanted to put a picture up of the office now, but I would be threatened within inches of my life if I did that. It's a little a real big a disaster area right now.
4. Some "light" reading - I am going to make time to read some books that I've wanting to read or re-read. There are several books I'd like to read, but here are a few I know I will get to this summer.

5. Add to my TpT Store - I am going to use TpT to raise money for our adoption! I am brainstorming some products and have one product in the store already. Click the badge below to visit!

What are some of your summer bucket list items? Leave a comment down below! I'd love to hear from you!

End of the Year Gift & My First TpT Product!

The end of the year is always the craziest part of the school year, but today, I received the BEST and CRAZIEST present I have ever received from a student. Behold...

Yes, it's a toilet coffee mug!! There is a back story to this gift, but I will have to save that for another post, but I started my day with a hugamongous LOL! Have you ever gotten a crazy gift at the end of the year? If so, I want to hear about it! :)

The second thing I wanted to mention in my second post for the week (yes, I'm in shock, too!) is that I have placed my first Teachers Pay Teachers product in my online store. I am selling a Daily 5 Anchor Chart Pack which includes a mini anchor chart students can put in their reading notebooks or teachers can place in a classroom binder for reference. The profits I make off the products I sell are all going toward the adoption of my future son or daughter. You can read more about my family's adoption adventure by cruisin' over to Bringing Baby Bennett Home. 

If you do purchase or preview the anchor chart pack, I would appreciate your constructive feedback on how I can make my products more useful and effective for teachers. 

Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful night!! :)
