Happy New Year 2014!

So I planned to go into school twice in the last two days…ended up getting a whole lot of other randomness accomplished here at home.   Then at the last minute tonight I made a mad dash to my classroom in hopes to set up January in an hour.   (!?)

Obviously I have been out of my classroom for far too long to think that I could prep for January in an hour.  I gave it a good little try but recognized pretty instantly that an entire half day would be in order for me to transform our learning space into a New Year of Academic Bliss…more on that later…

All in all it went down way differently in my head than it did in real life.

I was all excited to use my new Canon and when I turned it on I got the flashing red battery picture.  What a newb.  gah.

Here’s a few things that you could snag during the sale to make going back slightly less painful.

These are iphone pics.  Maybe if you squint and tilt your head you can possibly make out the pictures…  I think I was dashing around a little too much for my iphone to handle.

 From January to June you can find this happening in our classroom.  There’s enough stationary in this pack to change it out constantly and keep interest high! My students can’t get enough of this.

 There’s lots more where those activities came from…but I’ve got to snuggle up by the fire now.  Boy these vacation days really take a toll… {I LOVE VACATION!}
