Now, I have lots at school, but you can never have too many! Picked up a bunch of these bad boys and I am so happy that they fit into the shoe rack shelf that I found at Goodwill. Now...just to figure out what to put in there.... I was thinking of sorting writing supplies, or small word work activities since the cubbies are small. They do fit perfectly a small pencil box. The cubbies I have at school I had to track down in a then-storage-portable...so they are in pretty bad shape. And that's all they pretty much keep in their cubbies...pencil boxes. Hmm, decisions...decisions...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sigh, seeing all those teacher posts on Facebook and blogs about how their room is coming is getting me anxious to get to my own room! My room had the "DO NOT ENTER, WET WAX" sign on it when I went to check this past week. I really need to get back the corner of my house that has my summer school supplies! With trainings and meetings going on our first week back, AND Kindergarten Open House being on Wednesday...doesn't leave me much time to set up, so I will have to go in early. Excited to set up and turn my bare room into something inviting. YAY! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I even had a dream where my room was already done for me! LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Besides my number 5 read, I am going to start to read <u>The Cafe Book</u>. This is something I have never done, but liked the idea of. I am hoping that since I already read about Daily 5, that this will tie in nicely. I was so excited to start reading that when I finished my Daily 5 book, I started The Cafe Book...but it was late...and I was getting tired...so I fell asleep.

<span style="font-size: large;">And perfect for #5...Daily 5! I already read the first book, and had been reading the 2nd edition. (I talked about it in a previous Five for Friday post.) I enjoyed the book and am finding new ways to implement Daily 5 into my class this year. I hope to be better at it now that I will have my students all day. (Read a bit of my thoughts on that <a href="http://littlegingergarten.blogspot.com/2015/07/five-for-friday.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://littlegingergarten.blogspot.com/2015/07/five-for-friday.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) I'm very excited...I just hope that it goes almost as smoothly as I envision it! LOL I will be getting my centers started soon and can't wait to teach math again! I have almost nothing for math. BUT I am excited to be making things for math centers too. What is a math center that your students love? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It has been raining and raining and raining the last 2 days. Living in Florida I am not use to this...the usual afternoon shower that comes and goes...YES...pretty much ALL DAY LONG?...NO! And either are the kids, who have been asking and asking to go back in the pool that we got ready last week after a 2 day withdrawal. So hopefully after dinner we can go in even if it's for a little bit. Cause on our errands today...<span style="color: red;">IT WAS HOT</span>!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to <strike>try and</strike> MAKE some clipart this weekend! I actually have been on withdrawal since I made my first few. This time I am really excited because I will be using Photoshop or Illustrator. I think I will either try and make some fun kids or owls or borders or digital papers....OR try each until I get stumped and then move onto the next one! LOL Check back here this weekend and I'll post pics of how they are coming along. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have kids, or even if you don't...I'm sure you have heard of these little guys called Minions. My youngest loves them and was literally at the edge of his seat while watching their movie Sunday. I did end up getting him a stuffed BOB that now I have to make a teddy bear for since he did not come with one. SO...I will do my best with what fabric I have. I'll post a pic with the new Bob and his accessory when I'm done. For now, here's my Little Minion.</span><br />

Usually to "watch" something that I've already seen so that I don't get too distracted from my task at hand.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />

It was just the kick in the pants I needed for starting my store and getting things up. Lots of help and friendly people made it even better! You can read about my challenges by clicking on the TPTSellerChallenge label on my side bar. Come back to my blog to ready about my last challenge I'm working on called Follow Frenzy!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I find it a lot of fun and challenging at the same time. Trying<span style="background-color: white;"></span> to figure out all the tools, and then</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: black;">learning new things as you play around with it is pretty cool!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

But I am waiting, and then going to have to maybe do like 2 workouts! I've been doing the 21 Day Fix workout and when I was full force into it, within 2 months I lost 25lbs! My goal is to lose another 25lbs by the end of August. Time to get my butt in gear! </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Last few years our whole school went to departmentalized: ELA/Social Studies and Math/Science. (Except 3rd and 4th grade inclusion) I only started teaching K two years ago (coming from 3rd grade for 8 years) so I've never taught them math...not even looked at a teachers manual-let alone had one in my hands! I am excited though because of all the thematic possibilities and things I can do with a class of my own instead of sharing kids. (Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed working with my partner the last 2 years! That I will miss, but at least we can still plan together now in a different way.)</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I have a lot of hand drawn anchor charts and I made my own center signs by hand and with my Cricut. I told some of my co-workers that if there was a job for someone to just make cutesie things for the classroom and draw up anchor charts that people see on Pinterest and such...I would apply in a heartbeat! </span></span></span></span></span></span>I'm also creative with sewing and crafts. My daughter is wanting me to make her a cos-play outfit for Kingdom Hearts and I've made her a plushie of one of her favorite characters. My friend taught me how to quilt and I made one with her help for Quilts for Kids, I have another one that I have to work on too. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After debating what type of teacher resource I wanted to make, I decided to make some clip art since I did put that down as one of my DARE TO DREAM points. I love to do crafts, like sewing, drawing, and scrapbooking, when I get time. I think the Dare to Dream has put my thought of making clip art more of a reality. The thought of digital drawing was a little scary since I always had started off mine with pencil. But once I got to trying, it was a lot of fun! Lots of getting use to the different media but I'm getting the hang of it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So...that brings about my Masterpiece! I had worked on the butterflies long before, but didn't have the Adobe to secure them properly. So I ended up signing up for Adobe Cloud, since I would like to also learn more about drawing in Photoshop and Illustrator. My daughter also seemed interested too since she likes to draw too. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Find my Butterfly clip art and Back-to-School Supplies up on TPT! I also put up a new Apple clip art set with 40 apples...Go check it out! Click on my TPT link on the sidebar to see my clip art!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been working all summer to clean out storage...with three kids...I can't believe how much we put away! And of course the classic, "That's my favorite toy!" has been heard several times in the last few weeks. Not to mention my school stuff that I had to bring home and school stuff that I bought. I haven't gotten through my sorting of centers yet either! SO MUCH TO DO!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had ordered The Daily 5 and The Cafe book (along with furniture for my daughters room) from Walmart. Earlier this week I got them in the mail to read before school starts. Unfortunately my new Cafe book came soaking wet and I had to return it to Walmart! It was a pretty easy return, but bummed because that was the one I didn't read yet. I have the first Daily 5 book and loved it! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had checked my school email today after one of my friends from school asked me about our summer trainings. It came to me as a surprise but...<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I AM GOING TO BE SELF CONTAINED NEXT YEAR!! </span>If you are wondering why that would cause me excitement, I'll give you a short story:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I taught K over 10 years ago for 3 years.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Then I changed schools and was offered 3rd grade(did for 10 years with 2 years of 2nd somewhere in between). I did enjoy teaching those kids more than I thought and miss that age group.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Then I asked to be moved because I was getting burnt out and they gave me K again <span style="color: red;">BUT</span> our school went to being departmentalized for core subjects-except 3 of the ESE inclusion classes. I taught ELA/Social Studies for 2 classes and my partner taught Math/Science.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Now my partner and I are both going to be self-contained. The other 4 k-teachers are still departmentalized.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am SOO excited! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed working with my partner teacher and we got along very well. But I <i><b>sooo </b></i>miss math and science! I am VERY excited to teach all subjects and do more themes! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And lastly...I've been trying my hand at clip art. So far I only made a couple products from PowerPoint. Trying to get the hang of digital drawing...I usually draw freehand when I have time. My daughter is interested in trying it too. So, we'll learn together! Right now I'm working in PowerPoint, I hope to practice in Photoshop and Illustrator soon. I've use Photoshop for some picture editing before, but never Illustrator. I am listing things on my ebay account to put towards a Wacom drawing tablet(1/3 of the way there YAY). Can't wait! Here's a sample of what I'm working on now. I want to get a few products ready and list them up at the same time. What do you think? If you have suggestions for what I should make next, just let me know!</span></div>

</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">I would have put Big Bang and Friends on all of them, but I thought people would want to see more variety. Those are ALWAYS my first go to shows...especially during the weekdays when I do most of my work after the kids go to bed. During the summer, I have more variety because I'm able to do my work here and there during the day. Like some of the other linky participants, I "watch" mostly for background noise. It's helpful to me to watch ones that I already saw and love, since I can stop at my favorite parts. I also like to put on favorite movies for the same reason...usually romantic comedies!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, getting caught up almost on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TPTSellerChallenge/" target="_blank">#tptsellerchallenge</a>. Week 2 was all about DREAMS...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I should be good at this because I have lots of things that I want to be able to do in the future. Let's get started:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5jtvGLpAdtdNdnXQvadtNbxie21hveu1Y_FvDge9ZwwNb55S1U_k-63uITfOmoFGrxrE2l8dG9v2kHb5sGOYfAUbUz-wSIWdUcqESVZ2u1f5_rZ7Ra6FCQp1Fr2b3tI-hb3gE4jkLys/s1600/Dare+to+Dream.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5jtvGLpAdtdNdnXQvadtNbxie21hveu1Y_FvDge9ZwwNb55S1U_k-63uITfOmoFGrxrE2l8dG9v2kHb5sGOYfAUbUz-wSIWdUcqESVZ2u1f5_rZ7Ra6FCQp1Fr2b3tI-hb3gE4jkLys/s320/Dare+to+Dream.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><span style="color: #073763;">Extra Income</span></u>: It was only the last year and a half that I started on TPT as a buyer and then a seller. I have lots of ideas but this past school year had just been a trying time both professionally and personally. But I'm hopeful of the summer break and it's fresh start. This past month has promised me a brighter future already! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With my TPT store, along with academic products, I'd like to make clip art as well. This is also something I would like to possibly do with my daughter since we both like to draw and are excited with joining Adobe Cloud.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Vacation:</span></b></u><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: black;"> Honestly, </span></span>the last time my family and I had a vacation away from home was 10 years ago when we went to Universal Studios for 3 days. Lots happened the last 10 years, too much to even write down. We are currently saving up for a nice few days of Disney World! It will be awesome from our usual stay-cations or a day trip here and there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Meet New People</u></span><u>:</u> I just started this blogging thing and I'm finding out I like it. I tried to start one last summer, but found it a struggle to think of what I should blog about. Everyone on the Facebook page is so helpful! I love how I'm finding new TPT sellers, blogs, and Facebook pages to follow. If anyone has any blogging tips, LET ME KNOW! LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: red;"><u><i>The Before</i></u>:</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">I had originally made my first product in Microsoft Word. It was very plain, but did the job. It is for Reading Street Kindergarten Common Core Sight Words, a list of all the words that are covered in the series. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><u><i>The After</i></u>:</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Using clip art, borders, and fancier font, I redid my product to include a checklist to use as either a snapshot of the whole class, or for individual students. I included a terms of use and credit page with links at the end. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b><u><i>The Result:</i></u></b><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">It was a
major learning curve, but it got easier after I kept noticing things
that had to be changed before I uploaded it to TPT. It may not be the
fanciest, but I worked hard and am proud of all that I learned while
doing it. Can't wait to get onto another product!</span></span></span></span> </span></span></span></span><br />

</h2>
I had signed up with the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TPTSellerChallenge/" target="_blank">TPT Seller Challenge</a> 3 weeks ago, but hadn't had the opportunity to actually get started until today. I sadly only have 1 product that I made the beginning of the school year, but have a lot of ideas in my head to get going on! My daughter was finishing her online schooling, and I had been doing a major cleaning of my closet, so quiet time on the computer did not come by often. I found lots of goodies that I forgot I had! The last couple of days I was going through my clip art/font/digital papers that I had downloaded <strike>a year</strike> not that long ago. (That was very time consuming!) I think I'll do a little bit each day to catch up with the other TPT Challengers. This is just what I needed to get me going. <br />
