Oh the woes of getting hurt and being unable to return to the classroom
So I know I haven't posted in a while because three weeks into the school year I was involved in a motorcycle accident which broke my leg and caused me to be unable to return to work. As of right not I'm still out (on long term disability) and have not been able to go back to the classroom. So much for my beach themed year...

various items to use for organization in a beach themed room
My posters are still in the "working" stage. Turns out pastels are much messier than I thought. I have 3 colored that need to be cut out and laminated. Will take pictures once they're up in the room. In the meantime, I've made some word documents I thought you might enjoy that help with organization in your classroom. They should be able to be edited to whatever your needs are.
Some items that are included are:
a "BEACH" binder http://www.scribd.com/doc/102565906
Beach data notebook dividers for each child http://www.scribd.com/doc/102565912
Beach data notebook labels for avery size 48863 http://www.scribd.com/doc/102565910
Supply list http://www.scribd.com/doc/102565917
Open House powerpoint http://www.scribd.com/doc/102566121
Beach behavior communication for parents http://www.scribd.com/doc/102566117
I'll be posting some things I found elsewhere too with credit given to the authors. Again, I'm all about sharing as a teacher. It's what we do!
Until next time,
Alexis

Bulletin Boards...how to
So I was browsing the web for different ideas related to my beach theme and found some really cute pictures that I wanted to use for my bulletin boards. The only problem was that they didn't provide where they got the pictures they used for their bulletin boards. Thankfully I'm pretty good at free-handing things I see that I like but I can't find the original to. So I drew my own images based on the ones I found online and viola! I had my own! (You can find them attached if you'd like to use them. I like the idea of putting them on teacherspayteachers, however I feel I'm the old school teacher that appreciates giving and getting things for free. What happend to sharing in the teaching community?)
Next I busted out some page protetctors and some vis-a-vis markers, (so much better than transparencies because the originals you're copying don't move) and asked my principal if I could borrow one of our old projectors (we have smart products now and don't use the projectors but thankfully someone had the intuition to keep them around). I slid the originals I had drawn on cardstock into the page protectors and copied them with vis-a-vis. After I was done tracing the image onto the page protector I slid out the original and was ready to copy onto posterboard! Taped the posterboard onto the wall and a few seconds later they were ready for some finishing touches (outlining with sharpie markers, adding some color, and lamination).
That will be done later but wanted to blog about the progress. Below are the inspirations to my originals and the originals I created. Check back to see the process and the finished products.
Inspirations:
Boy with Pail Boy with Surf Board
(I have now not been able to locate the original of the girl that I made)

Getting ready for the 2012-2013 school year
The summer is fast approaching and that means...preparing for next school year! I already have my theme planned which will hopefully keep the summer vibe going long into the cold months of winter. That's right if you haven't already guessed, I'm going with a beach theme. I have my B.E.A.C.H (bring everyday: assignments, communication, homework) binders in progress and have already started thinking about different bulletin board layouts as well, thanks to some help found on proteachers...thank you to all of you other seasoned teachers out there so I didn't have to totally reinvent the wheel. Can't wait to upload some pictures and other items once I have some hard copies and decorations completed. Check back in June/July for the progress!
