By the way . . . I'm really sorry if I seem to be MIA . . . My grandmother fell and fractured her femur . . . she was just driving, walking (with no walker or cane) a little over a week ago. We went through a big fiasco messing with hospitals, rehab centers, medicare . . . We now have her in a nice place that is close to me and we have my mom here now too. Of course, with all the running around and trying to teach and stuff . . . I got very exhausted and run down . . . now I have Strep and a double ear infection! I have been able to fight off kid germs all year long . . . now with 5 days left . . . I'm home for a sick day! Have a great end to your school year everyone . . . I'm really looking forward to sleeping in this summer!

End Of The Year Organization Links!

It's almost that time again! The kiddies are stirring and you can see all of those wonderful summer activities coming up! Yep, it's almost the end of the year for everyone. But if you're like me, the end of the year can be such a busy time, right? Or maybe it's just because we're ready to get out. Either way, I wanted to share some links I found that can help that end of the year process go smoother for you and your kiddies!


First, Charity has put up a template for end of the year awards. These are so cute and so easy to use - you  can just insert your students name and an award title and let your students go home happy. The template can really be used for a lot of things!


The Organized Classroom Blog - End Of The Year Award Certificates

NEXT,  the blog A Cupcake For The Teacher has an awesome guide on how to make some organizational sticker binders. If you're like me, those stickers are always popping up some place or another! This is so much better than dumping all of your stickers into a bin or box - and it keeps everything organized how you like. Check out her blog - and her items for sale!

A Cupcake For The Teacher - Organize Your Stickers

Lastly, I stumbled across this old post from the blog Once Upon a First Grade Adventure on some awesome project binders. It's a good way to keep your resources together and filed well. That way you can use them next year and not have to worry about anything! Just seeing how organized this blogger got may inspire some solid end of the year cleaning before you lock up your classroom for the summer! There are also some great freebies at the end too!

Once Upon A First Grade Adventure - Project Binder-ize! A Success! And some freebies!

Of course, I have to mention the awesome memory books that I made! They will really help you put the cap on an awesome year of teaching!! Check 'em out -- Just click the pic for your grade!

Okay! Hope some of this will help you! If you're as busy as I am, it just may!
