Linking: My teacher Must haves

I am linking again with blogger hopper

This post is a little late because it all started yesterday… But I didn’t want to miss it so here are my Must-haves Monday.

I have made three groups. Must haves at home, in the classroom and my must have clip art! Yes I drew all that because I would love having all those things in my classroom.

click on the picture to go to the Teacher clip art set.
I will be linking some with a technology tip. Now I am going to check all your must haves. 🙂

My vista Print order finally arrived!

Back to school is still far away (we don’t go back until September). But all those sales, linkies and classroom photos make me feel like I am ready to go back.
Checking all those incredible blogs I decided joining  CHRISTINA BAINBRIDGE linky party about vistaprint:
. She has hosted a wonderful post with great ideas for Vistaprint orders. I assume that most of you know about Vistaprint. But if you don’t you should check the site: Printed resources for almost nothing!
I could hardly wait for my Vistaprint creations to arrived and here they are! I know I could have been a little more patient and have done the photos on my table to make them look better… (But it is actually full of some back to school projects).  So here I am opening it on the floor and spreading everything to show you some pics:

We are required a test every month or so on each subject and these are my little cards to inform families about the results of a test. It says something like ‘I got an __ on math/science…’
These stickers are to announce a test. Students stick them in their diaries to remember the date. They say something like: ‘Math test: do your homework and study the multiplication tables.’
I always send home homework related to the test during that week to reinforce it a little bit.
I have some blank magnets too. What can I use them for? I don’t know yet, but they were free so I got them!
 And last, I did this Reading club cards to inform about the reading rules. They use them as a bookmark.
I also got those diplomas. It says something like ‘Congratulations! After so much studying you learned your time tables.’ It really sounds better in valenciano… On the back I can write down the dates when they master each table.
And now you have seen everything in my Vistaprint order. I can’t wait to show it to my students. 🙂
Thanks Christina for your linky party, now I can think of more ideas and set a new order!

Working on tests this week

I have been really busy this week. We have 7 days left. We are having our tests done, finishing some crafts, putting all the students work together to take home.
I have been wanting to write a post about organization for a long time, but I was looking at my messy desk today and didn’t feel like I could help anybody about organization. LOL
You can see my desk with my super teacher binder (I have everything in it!), a pile of tests (poor little firsties…so many tests in just two weeks), my calendar(you can’t really see how full it is), my TO DO list (standing on that red ball) and my individual rubrics for each kid (under the calculator).
It is a pain going over every score, but we HAVE to do it.

On the other hand, we are doing some cute crafts and getting ready for the Summer. It’s not all about tests!
All the first and second grade teachers are doing this little piggy banks. Each kid is painting it with their favorite color and we will add polka dots next Friday. Don’t you just love my under the sea tablecloth? 🙂
