Keeping It Together

Happy Friday!

Oh wait . . . it's only Thursday.

But it's Friday for me!!  

Looking forward to a splendid weekend with my family.

(and a little junking along the way)

But before I start this fun weekend, I wanted to share a lil' 

somethin' I gussied up.

I've been organizing the classroom the last few days.

And that's one thing I am going to work on for this year-

staying organized!

Last year the girls each had a cute pencil holder for their desk.

But usually all I could find in these holders were Polly Pockets or sticks or wadded up pieces of paper . . .

So I decided to have a 'Grand Central' for all the supplies we use daily.

Here's what it started out looking like:

After a little painting, gluing and modge-podging

here's how it turned out:

We'll see if it works . . . 

Now the next struggle to tackle is keeping the house clean.

I'm thinking chore charts, any suggestions?

Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend,

enjoying the last few hours of summer!
