I know it’s been a week since I posted, but I have been madly attempting to complete the fifth unit in my Word Families Galore Bundles. It’s finally done!
At the same time, I am getting ready to ramp up for the beginning of school in less than a month-ish.
That means I’m needing to do a bit of shopping…
Aren’t these the cutest aprons ever. I had to get two they were so darling. I purchased them from my pal Hadar over at Miss Kindergarten. You can click on the picture to see all the cute patterns she has to offer. My 7 year old was happy to model for me after soccer camp this morning.
…and a little prep work for my classroom.
My tiny little room is in need of storage so I went to Home Depot and purchased some unfinished cupboards that are going to be placed in my room. I am desperate for storage and this should help.
…and a little prep work for lessons.
I had my 81 year old mother come over today to help me do some laminating. But . . .
something more important came up . . . . My sister-in-law says ‘God knows when we need a nap, and it’s always better to nap together.’
(Yes, he’s five and still takes naps . . . and does it in style with his pink beads and everything. )
Eventually, we did get a big dent in the laminating done, and I so appreciate the helping hand. Now I am well stocked for all those visitors that always offer to ‘give me a hand’ or those strangers at ball games that ‘wished I had an extra pair of scissors’ because they would just ‘love to help me cut out stuff for school.’ By the way, I always have extra scissors with me.
We teachers do what we have to do to get it done, don’t we?
Ok, make sure you stop by tomorrow because I’m going to answer some of your questions regarding Math Stations. I want to show you how I tier by color and keep all the tiers organized within the stations. It will all become crystal clear. I promise.
And if you missed the unveiling of Short U Word Families Word Work Galore…here’s a peak. All the short vowel packs are finally available. Whew!
That is so sweet that she helps you!! =)

What a great day you had!
Can’t wait for tomorrow! 🙂 And I can’t wait to learn more about the literacy organization too. Love your new aprons by the way!

I also carry extra scissors. I will never forget when my boys were taking swim lessons and I was cutting stuff for a new year. Another parent said “I would help if you had another pair of scissors” Well I gave her stuff and scissors. She cut for me but after that every time she came for lessons she sat as far away from me as she could. I think she was afraid I would want more help. I thought if you didn’t want to help you shouldn’t have offered because I will always take help and I am always prepared in case someone offers.
Hi Marsha,
I L-O-V-E your word family bundles, and my kidlets do too. Seriously, the best money I have spent for my classroom in a long time. Thanks for the time you spent making such a wonderful resource!

Love, Laughter and Learning in Prep!
The napping picture is classic. So touching. And everyone naps with pink beads – right?
The word family bundles rock – thank you!
I just followed your blog – take a look at mine. It’s brand spankin’ new.
