We have found some time however, to link up with the fabulous ladies over at Blog Hoppin’ for a little week long link up.
Must Have #1: Silhouette Cameo
Meet our new Joint-Custody Cameo: We are so in love! The things this amazing puppy can do! Just look at our lil flower it cut out! No more cramped hands from cutting scallops!
It’s a bit of an investment, but soooo worth it!
Must Have #2: One Finger Stapler by Paper Pro
Seriously people! If you don’t have one-drop everything NOW and go get yourself one. Just yesterday we had to use a regular ole stapler for a bulletin board and after a few not-so-lady-like expletives, never again will we attempt to staple anything on our boards without it!
Must Have #3: Mr. Sketch
These fun, sweet smellin markers are ideal for anchor charts, correcting papers, projects, etc. We let our “Person of the Day” choose which color/smell we use when we go around and check papers. They love ’em!
Must Have #4: Bins, bins, and more bins!
We just changed our color scheme and stocked up on containers to keep everything in its place.
Must Have #5: Letter Sound Dictionary
This is our absolute favorite beginning of the year job. [click here for our info post]
After just a few lessons, this becomes an INDEPENDENT activity! Yep we said it, In-De-Pen-Dent first graders in the beginning of the year-who would have thunk it! After it’s prepped, you have weeks of repetition and the kids get the hang of it quickly.
One last fun STOP before school starts: bop on over to our friend Megan’s blog and
celebrate with her 1,000 Follower Giveaway!
