Thinking about going Back to School

We won’t go Back to School until September! And here I am already planning. I have spent many days drawing my School clip art, joining giveaways and creating my newest Back to School games and crafts.
You will be able to see ALL my school clip art in some days… I am currently working on my science clip art.
Be patient!  ðŸ™‚

My latest unit is something that has been on my mind forever. Every year I create something similar and this year I decided that I should create something better.
And here it is! I am superproud, It may look like a print and color craftivity but the good thing is that you can decide how long do you want your students to work on it.
You can use just a desk and a photo or go with the whole pack where your kids design their t-shirt, draw the faces and complete a school tool.
I like that each kid craft is going to look different.
You can check it on my TPT store.
If you get to buy and use it I would love seeing photos!

I am also joining a new linky from Fabulous 4th grade Froggies.

Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies

Back to School won’t happen until September but I already have a list:
1. Redesigning my Teacher Binder.
2. Working on my classroom management plan.
3. Laminating everything I have done/purchased.
4. Painting my cork board.
5. SHOP! I will be buying new baskets for my classroom. I can tell you I will buy more than baskets… 🙂
Now I am going to read all your lists. I know that that will make mine longer…

Summer fun and a giveaway

I have been very busy enjoying my first holiday week

Yesterday I went shopping with my high school friends. We had lots of fun buying some clothes, accessories and books. I could not avoid the children section of the book store and look what I found!
The Gruffalo, Marcianos en calzoncillos and Dinosaurios en calzoncillos! The three of them for only 7€!!!
And two of the are hard back! 
I also bought a new laptop bag and some magic paint activity books. Those ones that you just need a brush paint and some water and the colors ‘magically’ appear on the picture. I used to love them when I was a kid.
I love SALES! 🙂

Next week I want to start working on my new science unit. We don’t have science books in our school so I have to build our new Astronomy unit from scratch. I have started with some fun printables… But check out at the end of the week to find some online free resources to teach your Space Unit in Spanish.

I have also joined Lacey’s great giveaway. She is celebrating that her great bolg Wild about Teaching has reached 500 followers. Can you believe that?
I donated my Summer craftivity as a prize. Check it out and participate. It has more than $100 worth of products from different teachers and 2 TPT giftcards.

currently July and new award

This has been a very festive week here in Spain. We are not celebrating 4th of July, but we won the Eurocup last Sunday. I can tell you that everyone I know was watching the game, even if they don’t like soccer. 
It’s been a busy week for me, with lots of cleaning that I had been postponing. So there is no better way to get you updated than linking with Oh boy Fourth Grade with this Currently July.

On the other hand, I also went to a great concert (as you can read on the currently July that I wrote before). We were specifically told by the singers to take photos/videos of the concert and send them to our friends so they could see what they were missing. 
I have also been awarded with the versatile award three times!
