Teacher + Mother + Wife = Life: September 2015

Welcome to September's edition of You Oughta Know a blog hop created by Jasmine over at Buzzing With Mrs. McClain. This is the first one after our summer hiatus, which you would think means that theres a lot that I want to tell you about. But quite honestly, its September and my brain is kinda on autopilot. I took a moment to think about what impacted me the most this summer, and that of course has to be Periscope and Blab. If you haven't checked them out yet you REALLY need to. There have been so many other posts done about those two things though, and I did not want to be repetitive.

Then it hit me... it wasn't just Periscope or Blab that made my summer, but who was on the other side. One of them is this fabulous lady:

Please allow me to introduce you to Sheila Jane from Sheila Jane Teaching.

There have been many days where she has said exactly what I needed to hear. She also provides teachers with a wealth of information on entrepenuer know-how.

Hello! Well here we are- I'm headed into the 3rd week of school, and have been meaning to do this for quite some time. Setting up and getting ready for the beginning of school was a labor of love this year, accompanied by packing my house and getting ready to move. I apologize for the delay and the somewhat poor quality of the pics, but I am finally ready to show you the place I am calling home this year! Enjoy :)

This is the view as you enter my door. We will soon be filling up the walls and boards with student items! #stillnotlovingtheblue

We have a beachy theme this year. My 7yr old suggested I hang this fishing net on the door ;) I'm thinking of putting their names or something else spectacular on here.

As you look to the right you have my small group table (not shown), student work display and my desk!

Here is the front of the room. My easel does not stay there, I move it based on our needs but usually its blocking my desk. This is the front of our room!
