Color Me Bright and Carson Kids Giveaway!

This past January, I was honored to be among five bloggers selected to participate in the Carson-Dellosa Creative Design Summit.  You have probably seen some of the fabulous pics from the awesome time I had with Carson-Dellosa’s peeps and my blogging buddies.  Check out my post about the summit HERE! Now, we have teamed up to give you an AMAZING giveaway!

All of us will be or are currently hosting giveaways on our blogs!  I will have links at the end of this post. 
The Lookbook just came in the mail on Friday!   I am so excited.  My grandma was even impressed!  She told me that she was so proud of me. 
You can check out the online Lookbook by clicking here!
In the digital Lookbook, you can click on the little white circles to see details about the products.   
Here are some photos from my vignette, I love the way the Carson Kids and Color Me Bright decor mesh together!  

Tip:  Hot glue ribbon around baskets and then glue a Color Me Bright circle accent to it.  I typed up “Table 1” using a Kimberly Geswein font and glued it onto the circle. 

I created a welcome sign by using Color Me Bright Cut Outs.  I typed up the names, printed, trimmed and glued!

The buckets signs were also created using Color Me Bright Cut outs. 

The supply tub labels were created using Color Me Bright Stickers. 

So do you want to will the entire Carson Kids and Color Me Bright Collection?  Valued at over $190!  Of course you do!

📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read- 📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read-alouds!
These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.
From Our Class is a Family, All Are Welcome, The Book of Rules, and so many more — these stories never miss.

Which one is a must-read in your classroom? Drop it in the comments and I will send you the links to my follow up activities!

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻 This was my 🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
