New Adventure....Moving...FREEBIE

A new adventure awaits me!  I have completed the task of packing up my Kindergarten classroom, and will be moving to a fantastic, larger district for the fall.  I am beyond thrilled at the opportunity to continue teaching Kindergarten!  Here's a few things I've learned about moving a Kindergarten Classroom:

• I have WAY too many random containers!  I think I should own stock in the Dollar Store...oh, and those plastic eggs from Easter.  
• You find a TON of goodies underneath shelves and book cases.  All those pieces to BLOKUS, Base Ten (ones) cubes, crayons, and even a single lima bean from the recent plant unit. There were pictures that fell from behind their book boxes, hair clips next to the drinking fountain, and fingerprints all over everything.  It made me misty-eyed as I clipped a barrette into my hair and kept purging.  
• Everyone you know with a truck is suddenly very busy (enough said about that)!
• Your car no longer fits in your garage, because your ENTIRE classroom is now there...waiting.
• I can now take those "projects" I was far to eager to tote home and put them with the other random things piled high in my garage.  
• I can soak the cooties off of all my math manipulatives.  GROSS!  Thank you, God for bleach.
• I organized books as I pulled them out of containers to re-use them.  
• You realize how blessed you are to have so many amazing materials.   

When I was in Africa, I was in a classroom with 64 Kindergartners who only had 8 crayons in all!!  That is why I cannot complain.

I am exhausted, but happy...full of expectations and ideas for printables I want to create. 

I've begun reading some of my Summer Bucket List books too:

You can purchase it HERE.

I've been super excited as I see various blogs covering both of these books and will post what I learn here, so keep an eye out.  

Just for fun here is a FREEBIE I created this week, amid the chaos of moving.  Enjoy!
