Where Are We and Tape Dispenser

Ok, I have been a busy beaver today. I have been in overdrive make it mode and have made some great stuff for my classroom. First of all I made this "Where Are We?" board.

I still have to make the labels for it but I was proud of myself so I am posting it anyway. I also made these adorable (at least I think so) tape dispensers. I have had these things for a long time now and could not figure out what to do with them I didn't want to go bejeweled crazy, just wanted the right amount of bling.

Well what do you think? I think that they are super cute. I have 6 more to do (bought them on sale). Can't wait to give them to our secretaries. Tomorrow I am going up to my classroom to work. Our building is open this week and teachers go back next week. I will be posting some progress pictures over the next few days.

My Teachers Pay Teachers store is officially open!

I have posted my first item on TPT. It's simple but I wanted to try it out. Click here to download them. Let me know what you think. These will accompany my Pirate theme. I am going to make calendar numbers too! The only thing that bothers me is that the months aren't capitalized. Should I change the font?

Reply? HELP!

Ok, now that I have a few followers and I am recieving comments I would like to reply. I have noticed on other blogs after someone leaves a comment there is a reply button. I do not have this, is there a way to change that? Please help, and incase I can't figure it out thank you for trying.

Kids Say The Darndest Things

I am linking up with Greg at Smedley's Smorgasboard of Kindergarten to share some of the funny things kids say. I tell myself every year that I need to write these things down. My favorite story though happened while we were learning about animal homes. We were on the playground and the kids found a ladybug. They came running over to show me so I asked them where they thought the ladybug lived and they thought about it for a minute when one of my sweeties says, matter of factly
"With his Nanny and Popo"

I just love that story. What is your Kids Say The Darndest Things Moment? Jump over to Smedley's Smorgasboard of Kindergarten and join the Linkey or just check out the other comments. By the way what a great idea for sharing Greg!

Pirate Crate Seats

I have been wanting to make crate seats for awhile after seeing them all over pinterest. I was inspired by the directions on Playground Duty. Click here to go to her blog. I found some super cute pirate material to go with my theme at Wal-Mart. Here are some pictures of the finished project. I cannot wait to get into my classroom and decorate.

I even added a ribbon tab.
