Oh, I almost forgot, I also worked on creating my craft room. If you don't have one, I have to tell you, it is one of the best things I've ever done. We spent last weekend cleaning out the room, painting, buying the things I've been wanting for it, and putting together my desk. Next on the list is a rug and a couch 
Okay, in other news, I know no one has requested them yet, but I have the May Book Reports ready. I have six of them this time and since my kids have grown (I'm sure yours have, too), I created two different versions this time. The first version is the same as what I've been doing. The second version has the students writing four sentences to tell about the story. If you want it, click on any of the pictures below and grab it.
Last of all, I now have a Facebook Fan page :) I am sure it's going to take me a little while to figure out what I'm doing, but on days I don't blog, I'm planning to use my Facebook Fan page to ask questions, comment, etc. I am also going to use it for quick 1 hour sales and giveaways. Below is a link to it. Hopefully, in the next few days I will have a button on the right side of my blog that you can click to follow.
Coming Soon - A blog makeover! Friends, I can't wait for you to see it!
Have a great Monday!
Oh my gosh - I am SO jealous of that amazing craft room! Sadly, my house is the size of a postage stamp & I can barely fit! Maybe one day! Thanks so much for the May Book Reports - they look adorable!

LOL... It seems to be working :) Of course, I'll feel more like it's working if I start knocking out some of my bigger packets :)
DeleteLove your craft room! Thank you for the book reports. (Would you have wanted someone demanding to know if you were doing them or when they were going to be finished? Maybe our silence was a good thing!)
ReplyDeleteForgot to add...I love Mason jars, too! Glad to know I am not alone in my admiration!
DeleteLOL... I'm glad that I got them done earlier this time :) Usually my teammates or a few of my other friends start asking for them :) I have no idea how many people use them, but ever since I did the March ones I get more requests :) LOVE the Mason jars on the shelves :) I've wanted to put them on the shelf for awhile :)
DeleteI love the craft room and I can't wait to see your blog makeover!!! Thanks for the book report freebie!

Aw! Thanks :) I'm SOOOO excited about the blog makeover. I think I'm on the calendar for May 10th. I can't wait!
DeleteThank you so much for your adorable book reports! My little first grader has learned to love writing book reports because of them.
ReplyDeleteAw! I'm glad your kiddo likes them :) I'm planning on making some summer ones, too (hopefully in the next week or two for teachers that want to share with parents).
DeleteWhat a fabulous room! I'm so jealous! Thanks for the book report freebie!

It is definitely my new favorite place :) Hope you enjoy the book reports :)
DeleteMy "craft room" is a spare bedroom (for when I have guests), a craft space, and computer room. It also serves as a hallway since my house is a shotgun and it's the "walk through" bedroom. It's quite jam-packed, and nowhere as organized as yours, though I'm working on it! :-) Love your craft space!
