Creative School Projects

So even though I haven't posted on my blog for a while, I have been staying creatively busy.  I've started thinking about school already and spent some time organizing my classroom and getting things prepared.  For a bit, it sounded like I might be going full-time and to mentally prepare myself for that change I created a little scrapbook-style schedule to help my stay balanced.  Here it is, hanging over my alter that I decided to set up again once I realized how much I was missing having one....

...so I found out after that I'll probably stay part-time, but I still have this for when things change.  Other creative school projects that I've been busy with include:  sewing curtains (with the cutest ever fabric) for an area of my classroom, decorating binders that I'll use to organize student assessment paperwork, cutting out squares (from leftover scrapbook paper) and adding numbers for our calendar routine school day count, decorating my lesson plan book (see photo below) and much more....

I have also discovered a whole fabulous world of Kindergarten (and 1s/2nd grade) teacher idea blogs while spending too much time on Pinterest.  I've decided to once again start a teacher blog of my own: http://msmoonskindergarten.blogspot.com/  so that I have a designated space for sharing/seeking ideas and inspiration for the classroom.  It's not much yet because, quite frankly, I needed to boot myself off of the internet (currently have a 1 hour time limit that I set up for myself on my laptop so that I don't overdo it!).  And a link to my Pinterest account...I'm still trying to decide if I should keep separate accounts for work vs. creative life...but we'll see.
