I've really been wanting to create letter searches for awhile now. I've had a Sight Word Search in my TpT Store for awhile and people have been asking me when I'll have letter searches out. I finally just sat down and got to it! I have a Capital Letters set, a Lowercase Letters set, and a Capital and Lowercase Letters BUNDLE now in my store.</div>

We officially go back this Wednesday, then on Friday we have our Meet the Teacher events. With meetings all day Wednesday and Thursday, I don't know how they were thinking we would be ready for Meet the Teacher so I've been slowly going up to school to get things ready and I think I'm about there!</div>

I really don't know why I've never used one, but I haven't. I've seen them all over Pinterest and have colleagues that use them but never found it necessary, until last year. I feel like I had a bad run with subs last year not following my very detailed plans or not leaving me any notes from the day. So I decided to whip one up to use. I already made several copies and put them in the pocket in my Sub Binder. Ready to go!</div>

I like to get my team something small to welcome everyone back to school and get us off to a good start. I usually buy some things to put together, but I decided to make something this year. Cheaper and easier! So I made this to-do list page, customized them with my teammates names, and sent them to our district office to turn into a pad (they can do projects like this for us - it's awesome).</div>

The nurse gives us a small baggie of first aid stuff at the beginning of the year like bandaids and gloves, but I've never put anything out for student access before. I saw this label at <a href="http://www.time4kindergarten.com/2015/07/monday-made-it-some-classroom.html">Time 4 Kindergarten</a> during a Monday Made It this summer and decided to snag it and make my own little kit for this year. I only put bandaids in it because that's all my Kinders would need but it'll give me and them better access for those boo-boos that they will inevitably get.</div>

I went the easy route and am doing pencils for student birthdays this year. I have many little things left over from previous years so I decided to be frugal and use all of them for my birthday/holiday student gifts. I made this cute this tag, slit the top and bottom, and put the pencils through. Easy.</div>

First day of school gifts for my Kindergarteners! Our first day isn't until August 11th but I've always got school on my brain and wanted to get something done - one less thing to worry about when I return to school. Plus I did it at home watching TV. These notes are a new <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/First-Day-of-School-Bubble-Note-FREE-1969989">FREEBIE</a> in my TpT Store as part of my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Summer-STEALS-freebies-1960671">Summer STEALS</a>.</div>

Next up... Sweet Dreams poem for the night before the first day of school. There's a few versions of this poem going around Pinterest and blogs, and I've posted about it on my blog before. I give these out at Kindergarten Orientation (kind of like Meet the Teacher) for students/families to read the night before the first day of school. Parents seem to love them! I typed it up and attached star confetti in little bags to them.</div>

I had each student bring in a collection of 100 small items. Then during Math time they sorted their collections into groups of 10, and groups of 5. LOTS of counting to 100!</div>

The 100th day of school is bittersweet to me. It's so fun and the kids love it -I lost count of how many times I heard "This is the best day EVER." But it's also crazy and exhausting, and I'm glad it's over. Next up... Valentine's Day.</div>

Oh, the life a a teacher blogger. I know we all go through our spurts of not having the time to blog... and that has been me recently. Our district has moved from iweb to blogger for our class websites, so in the fall I was determined to work on my class blog and make it a great resource for parents. I'm finally feeling like I can catch my breath a little (maybe because it's a long weekend) so I'm back to touch base on this blog. Do you use blogger as your class website? If so, I'd love you to include a link in a your comment so I can check it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm making this short and sweet with the intention I'll be back soon. The 100th day of school is coming up! Next Friday for us, and we like to celebrate big in Kindergarten. I have created two class book products for my TpT store -- and one of them in a freebie! Click on the pictures to get to them!</div>

We had our Curriculum Night this week. It's a time for our teachers to give parents information for our class and the basic curriculum we'll cover. I like to share with parents what a typical day looks like in Kindergarten, and usually prepare a Powerpoint presentation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I of course make a teacher wish list for parents who feel like donating items to our classroom. Our parent community is very generous, and always willing to provide needed items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I created a popcorn themed display for my wish list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Props to you if you are a blogger and have blogged during the first few weeks back at school! This was our sixth day of school, and I am beat and have no time to blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I need to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I need to share my classroom photos but I'm waiting to hang a few things up and have a photo ready room first. :) Until then, how about I share about our first day of Kindergarten?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is only my second year teaching Kindergarten. I guess I blocked out the first few weeks of last year, because boy, are they itty bitty, and super wiggly. I seem to forget that. You are welcome first grade teachers for training these youngin's before we send them off to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After reading First Day Jitters, my kiddos completed their first day page by showing how they felt when they came to school and then how they felt as our first day was ending. You can find this First Day Emotions activity in my TpT store.</div>

Ahhhh! Do other people LOVE organization as much as I do?! I really do just like to look at these freshly made binders and dream of the organization that they offer. I'm not a huge binder person like some people with their 54 binders, but I do find it necessary to have some to keep things organized and together.

I've always made an Absent Folder to collect papers for absent students and then send home when they return to school. But this past year I had some students who kept getting behind on unfinished work in their "working-on tray" and wanted to come up with another way to catch them up. So I made the "Let's Catch Up" folder to send home unfinished work that my students need to catch up on at home and then return to school. I made three folders each, then I laminated them for durability. After I laminated, I made sure to cut open the pockets to be able to put papers inside.</div>

I saw <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/198862139771459291/">this</a> on Pinterest and wondered why I hadn't thought of it before! Things I need to copy or laminate always end up in a pile somewhere and when I'm ready for them I'm hoping they're all there. Well now that I have these two guys, I'll have everything in one place. My plan is keep them in a file organizer behind my desk. I also laminated these for durability.</div>

I had a few pennant banners in my classroom last year but I've really gotten into them this year. So I made more. The top picture is my Star Student board. The second picture is my writing area. This area is looking different this year and I can't be more excited about it! I attended a Lucy Calkins Homegrown Institute just a few weeks ago and I'm inspired to make some changes. More on that during another post.</div>

I don't have a before picture but I purchased these three frames from the dollar store. I've been wanting to add more of this blue color into my color scheme this year. I do like green but realized I had a lot of it in my room and wanted to break it up a bit. We had these paint colors left over from other paint jobs and they were the perfect choice to liven up the frames!</div>

I spent the day Saturday in my classroom and it was actually really nice because I was the ONLY person there. I don't know if I should be ashamed of that or not. But it was kind of nice not to be distracted by anyone and just work the WHOLE time. I got a lot done. And now I'm off to work in my room again today, but I know a lot of my colleagues will start going back in this week as well. I'll have to check out everyone's Monday Made It projects tonight!</div>

I made a small snack bag for my hubby. Weird or just like being prepared? You decide. He went out of town this morning because he plays for a traveling men's softball team. Sometimes they play ALL day and he doesn't eat! So I threw this goody in his bag this morning.</div>

So we repainted our house almost a year ago. While repainting, my hubby took down the picture frames that were in our hallway and I never got to putting them back up. About three months ago I got one of our wedding photos enlarged and ready to hang in our hallway and never got around to it. I finally made the time this weekend to put the frames back up in the hallway. You may be able to see, some frames are empty so it's not completely finished, but I love having special pictures back in the hallway.</div>

I have been working on a variety of different guided reading activities to begin at the beginning of the year with my students who will not be reading texts yet. Last week I finally made it up to school to complete all the laminating. After attending day 1 of our Lucy Calkins Homegrown Institute, I came home and cut out lamination all night. Let me tell you, my fingers were cramping halfway through. My hope is to include these activities in a set for TpT but need to get it all organized first.</div>

If you don't know about the game I have, Who Has you are missing out. It's a fun game that gets students engaged and shows understanding of a concept usually already taught. I just made a new IHWH for beginning sounds. The cards are already in alphabetical order so I know my Kinders will have that extra help when we play. It's in <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lacys-Letters">my TpT store</a> in you're interested.</div>

So this student mailbox center was handed down to me. Notice all the stuck on tape and stickiness on most of the cubbies. It also had some contact paper stuck to the top of it that I finally peeled off. I decided to try my chevron duct tape on it, and I think it turned out just fine! It gives it a little freshness for this upcoming school year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really hoping to get into my classroom this week to get a lot done, but we had an asbestos situation in our primary hallway and we are not allowed in. Which means I'll only have next week to work until we officially go back the following week! So instead, my plan is to work on EVERYTHING I can at home to be as prepared as possible.</div>

#1 This upcoming school year I'm doing something different for student birthdays. Every year I've made play dough for my students for different reasons. I saw <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/198862139771122288/">this</a> on Pinterest and thought I'd do it for my student birthdays this year. I'm waiting until school starts to make the play dough so it will be fresher; but I have already made the containers for it. I bought the containers at Walmart, <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Diamond-Multi-Purpose-Mini-Cups-With-Lids-2-oz-50ct/17056809">like these</a>, made the labels, and hot glued them onto the lids.</div>

#2 I also made a Vacation Journal for my students this year. Last year I had a lot of families travel during the school year, and even had a few parents ask about a journal. So I finally made one that fit my needs. If interested, it's in my TpT store, clicking on the picture will take you to it.</div>

#3 I bought these Composition books last year, wanting to use them with my kiddos, but ended up not using them. So this year I knew I wanted to put them to use! Since I'm teaching Kindergarten I figure my kiddos won't be needing full pages, so I sweetly asked my hubby to cut them in half as I've seen on Pinterest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My husband used some kind of saw he had in the basement, but the cut didn't come out super clean. So I researched a bit on where to take them to get them cut. I've heard Office Max will do it, so I took them there. They said they charge for each cut and could do maybe two books at a time. Although it would have only been around $5.00, I figured I could buy another set of books for that price so it defeated the purpose. I also checked with FedEx. They also charge but they were offering a little cheaper price. The man that worked there cut one for me so I could see the cut. In the picture below, you can see the cut from FedEx comes out a lot cleaner that my hubby's saw. But in the end, the frugal part of me decided the cut isn't so important and I took the free route.<br />

I know all of our minds are on the school year coming up... in like, three weeks (EEKK!), but I thought I'd share about some small ideas for parents gifts that I used at the end of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gum. Super easy right?! I used these gems as the gifts to my parents who volunteered throughout the school year. Just something small, but it lets them know their help was appreciated. I got the idea from Pinterest and created my own tags to attach to them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gift Cards. Easy and usable. Parents aren't throwing these puppies in the trash when their child brings them home. Again I saw this idea on Pinterest. I actually used a similar idea for parent gifts a few year ago (you can see them <a href="http://lacysletters.blogspot.com/2013/05/end-of-year-gifts.html">here</a>.) I had three "room parents" this year that planned our class parties and such. I purchased three $5.00 gift cards to Starbucks, had my students sign the inside of all three, then attached the note to the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just popping in after being MIA to give you a suggestion for cleaning the tubs in your classroom (if you haven't had luck with typical cleaners, like me).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the tubs of shared supplies that I put on student tables for the school year. Obviously they get some wear and tear throughout the year, but, boy, did my Kindergarteners really put some wear on them this year! I decided to bring them home to see what I could do to refresh them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJvxmBU9TxDzretlLgeGOizCQfHMUEGAjWrvqFl4Va7KOaiu1GZmk0KhkZPIjAxBBnS2890HixVF2HdyDnUDPxpWDWufAOK1WLHVIeAxpxUVHRBX8VJLlCwkCFvEU4z0lP64qKXGFdbk8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-07-09+at+5.22.14+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJvxmBU9TxDzretlLgeGOizCQfHMUEGAjWrvqFl4Va7KOaiu1GZmk0KhkZPIjAxBBnS2890HixVF2HdyDnUDPxpWDWufAOK1WLHVIeAxpxUVHRBX8VJLlCwkCFvEU4z0lP64qKXGFdbk8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-07-09+at+5.22.14+PM.png" height="268" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And voila! I used a magic eraser to scrub on it. The yellow tubs are worse as they are lighter and show everything. You can see I didn't get the corners too well... I figure you're not going to see most of it with the new supplies going in them. It took about 3/4 of a magic eraser just for this tub, so I need to grab more at the store next time I go. I have nine more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been working a bit on my Guided Reading Binder for this upcoming year. Last year was my first year teaching Kindergarten, so I have a lot of ideas on what I want to do for my reading groups this year now that I know more about what to expect of my Kinders.</div>

We are working in one of our addition, subtraction, and numbers math units. We are currently learning about and practicing addition and combinations of numbers within ten. We are lucky to have many manipulatives provided to us through our math curriculum, but sometimes there's just too much going on for my little Kinders to handle. I wanted to create an activity page that included a ten frame so that would be one less thing they would have to organize in their work space. So I made <i>Fill It Up</i>, and am offering it to you as a freebie in my TpT store!</div>

So it's my Spring Break! But it's also the first time in three years not going anywhere. The last two years I went to St. Lucia and Jamaica. Oh how I wish I were somewhere on a beach....... but I'm not. So I'm working on school stuff and cleaning my house. Maybe one more than the other. :) By the way this ecard makes me laugh.</div>

Back to school stuff. I've been working on a syllable practice pack to do with my kiddos when we return to school. It includes whole group practice, guided/independent practice pages, and centers work. I have not added it to my TpT store yet because I would like someone to test it out. That means one lucky person will get the pack for FREE.</div>

We have had three SNOW DAYS this week! I'm sure some of you can relate with this big winter storm going through. I haven't gotten a call from the district yet tonight, so it looks like we're going back tomorrow. I have a love/hate relationship with snow days. I'm just as excited as my kiddos to get them, but now I'm just getting kind of bored. I need to get into my classroom to be any more productive at home than I've already been. It's time to go back now. I have to finish assessments. I have to finish semester report cards. I have to get caught up on some things. But man, do I dread going back. I'm sure the kids are going to be crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my plan is do some SNOW DAY activities tomorrow! Since they'll be excited to share about what they did off school anyway. I mean I haven't seen my kiddos in 19 days! It's time to go back. I made a Snow Day Graphing pack that we'll do tomorrow. I just posted it in my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lacys-Letters">TpT store</a>. And it's $1.00 off for the first 24 hours! So get your copy now before tomorrow evening when it goes back to it's original price! Click <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Snow-Day-Graphing-1050957">here</a> or on the picture to see the product.</div>

You may have been wondering what happened to me and why I've haven't blogged in two months! Kindergarten. Kindergarten happened to me. I moved from second grade to Kindergarten this school year, and I have been CRAZY BUSY. I always heard Kindergarten was in a world of it's own, and now I am in that world. Less grading, more creating. Less independent reading and writing, more directions. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And the list continues. The good news? I really am loving it so far.<br />
<br />
So in hopes that my readers will forgive me out there... here is a freebie! I created this Independent Reading Rubric last summer and put it on my blog for free through email. With this new school year, I have been getting a lot of requests for it, so I decided to spruce it up and offer it for free in my TPT store.<br />

As I mentioned before, I just started up my TPT store. Let me tell you, I have so much respect for those of you that have TPT stores and create fabulous products. It takes a lot of time, energy, and hard work. I only have a few items on there so far, but am always working on something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My newest creation is a set of Binder Covers! This set is blue polka dot themed, and includes 40 different binder covers. I'm giving this set away to FIVE followers!<br />

I have been starting my back to school shopping and have found some great things for this upcoming school year. I wanted to share some of those finds with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Composition Books</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought these last year also for 50 cents. Can't beat that. This year I'll be teaching Kindergarten so I'm still thinking of ways to use them. I know I want to cut them in half but that's about it for now.</div>

Bubbles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got <a href="http://reviews.dollartree.com/0550/988801/reviews.htm">these bubble packs</a> for one dollar a pack at the Dollar Store. I'm using them as a back to school student gift that I'll blog about later. I guess I forgot to take a picture.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy Straws</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These were also just a dollar a set at the Dollar Store. These will be used as birthday gifts for my students. I'll blog the finished project another day.</div>

Paint Sticks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to the local Sherwin Williams store and politely asked if I could have around 35 paint sticks. The man gave me a bag full! I'll be using these as library sticks since my Kinders won't be able to read (gasp!) and therefore won't be able to put their books back where they belong.<br />
