You are O"fish"ally in 3rd Grade Bulletin Board!

I finally got everything moved into my new classroom! It feels so great having most everything put away. I'm not done, but I still have 3 days I can be in the school before the students come so I'm not stressing. (BIG deal for me, I'm really trying to not stress out like I did before the start of last year.)

I actually felt unpacked enough that I put things on the walls and even got my bulletin board done!



I don't have the most recent class list, but I know I have more students, so I saved the fish bowl for their fish.

Now take a look at these two pictures. Can you see it? Are you a perfectionist like me?

Yep. Try as I might I couldn't leave the "in 3rd grade" line where it was.

How much time do you spend on bulletin boards?

New Design and Back to School Treats

I am loving my new blog design. It was a lot of work, though! I used Photoshop Elements to create the banner, background, and navigation bar. Then it was a lot of looking up stuff about html and CSS that I didn't really, and still don't, understand. But I did it! I like how it turned out, it's just what I wanted!

Today I finished moving my classroom, yay!! I really hope I'll stay put for awhile. Moving every year really stinks!

Now I just have to put everything away and get things ready for the students to come. That's the fun part.

I am trying really hard to not buy a lot this year, so I went through my bulletin board things and found some fish and a fish bowl. I'm thinking of doing an "O-FISH-ally" theme.

The Creative counselor has an adorable treasure hunt with clues to find the fish! It goes to places within the school to orient the students. There's also a cute poem to attach to the treat. I'm in love!

I love these fish bowl cards, but there was no link on Pinterest, just the picture. Please let me know if this is your idea and I'll link it up!
