FIRST WEEK: Five For Friday

Share This:

Our first week back with kiddos was a “short” one…Wend-Fri. But it was just long enough for this one very tiered teacher. I needed something quick & easy to share some hilights with ya’ll today. So thanks Kacey – Five For Friday to the rescue!!! 🙂

1. {MORNING WORK FREEBIE} — Our morning work on the second day of school!!! It’s a freebie from my blog last year that you can check out here.

2. {BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING}– The only Lakeshore Learning store in Colorado is an hour away from me. I drove down there for the first time ever this weekend because I wanted something but didn’t care to wait for it to ship from the catalog. When I pulled up I noticed a Nordstrom Rack one building over. I’d never been to one before, but I dare say that whoever designed this area knew exactly what they were doing by putting these two stores so close to each other.

But two new pairs of shoes and a few rolls of paper later, I wasn’t complaining.

3. {SNEAK PEEKS} — My classroom reveal is not ready yet. But I did work on it like a bit of a crazy lady for the entire week leading up to the first day. There are still a few details I need to get up on the walls. Also, I’m terribly indecisive. Which has led to me going back and making some last minute changes. {Story of my life.} But I promise to have it up and posted very soon!! You’ll also spot a few handy helpers I enlisted to help me set up shop. Does anyone else find classroom set up to sometimes be a bit of a family affair?

4. {SCHEDULE IT!} — I blogged all about our Daily Schedule on Thursday. This was my Instagram peek, but you can read whole thing on Thursday’s blog post. I put on my big girl jammies so I could stay up past 8:00 PM and blog. Staying awake past 8:00 PM the first week of school takes a honest to goodness effort friends. But I dug deep! 😉

5. {I’M BLOG HOPPIN’}– I’m now a member of  Blog Hoppin‘!! I’m beyond thrilled to join this most amazing crew of ladies! My friend Katie from Little Warriors and I got to kick off Teacher Week on Monday with some more info about us. It was my first post as a “hopper”. Now that the weekend is here you should really curl up in your favorite spot and take some time to check out all the posts linked up for Teacher Week. I was cruising through them tonight and they’re all bubbling over with back to school goodness and inspiration!

 Before I jet I just wanted to toss a little reminder out there that you still have time to enter to win this ‘Live, Love, Learn’ t-shirt from Erin Condren!!!

  1. Hi Stephanie,
    Congrats on surviving your first week back to school. I remember how exhausting it is. I was always so glad to have a shorter first week back. I can't imagine having to go a full week that first week. Where are you in Colorado? I ask because I was born in Golden. My dad worked for Coors. We lived there until I was 7. I still enjoy going back to visit and to ski! Vail and Breck are my favorites. I LOVE the shirt. I may just have to enter the giveaway. 🙂
    Happy Friday!
    Joya 🙂

  2. Can't wait to see your room reveal- I love the pink and green colors in the sneak peak photos. Congrats on surviving the first week of school. Rest up for the long week next week. 🙂

  3. You made it through the first 3 days, hooray! We started MONDAY 8/4 and have made it 3 whole weeks. Since school started, I've made it home before 8 p.m. once I think….and middle school starts at 7:30 a.m., whether I've had enough sleep or not. Hope you get some rest this weekend, and have a wonderful year!
