Five for Friday

fiveforfriday2_thumb[3]
Today I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs to share five random things about my week.  

Divider 1
The biggest thing about this week, is I started this blog!  I'm so excited to share my ideas and get to know other bloggers. I put together a Blogging Binder to help keep me organized :-)

Divider 2
I went to Target and got a ton of stuff for my classroom.  My favorite find was in the dollar spot. They had packs of three blank hardcover books.  I can't wait to use these for publishing student work next year!  I've already cleaned out two different Targets, and still want need more.

Divider 3
I got a new (to me) car!  I loved my old car, but it was eight years old and didn't have many features.  My new car is a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it has every feature you could imagine.  I love it so much!

Divider 4
I'm switching schools next year, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.  I made plans last night to meet my new team next week (there are 8 of us!), and I can't wait!!
Divider 5
I changed over the name of Teachers Pay Teachers store to "The Cutesy Teacher" from "Thrilled in Third Grade".  I never was really attached to "Thrilled in Third Grade", but change is hard! I also am super excited about my Back to School Language Arts Task Card Bundle!

I'd love to hear what you've been up to this week :-)

    1. Hi Sarah! I had my blog designed by Tenille at http://templatesbytenille.blogspot.com/. She was awesome to work with, and I HIGHLY recommend her! I'm sorry to hear that your new car was scratched, that's the worst feeling. I feel like wrapping mine in bubble wrap to keep it looking nice, lol!

  9. Bonnie-Your post is great, and I believe I need a blogging binder too. I always end up just blogging as something hits me versus planning them out. That's a goal for me this year. Sorry we didn't get to meet at the VA Blogger Meet Up, but perhaps next time.
