I'm in my last week of freedom, y'all. I'm trying my hardest to stay away from the classroom because I know I will be there all day every day for the next 10 months, but there's just always something to do!! I've been focusing my time on getting tables/desks set up so that my kiddos have somewhere to sit when they arrive on August 24th :) You can read more about my table rewards
HERE.
To hang above each table I ordered
THESE lanterns from School Girl Style and
THESE tassels. I rigged up the tassels so that they would spill over the top. I must say they look pretty stinkin' cute hanging up in my room! {I realize some of you can't hang things from your ceiling... so sorry!}
I also brought home my table caddies from
Really Good Stuff {HERE} to give them quite a bath. We used lots of water, dish soap, and Magic Erasers. They aren't perfect, but they are much better than before! I have heard some people run theirs through the dishwasher, but I've also heard that doesn't get the crayon marks off... so I haven't tried it yet!
After they received a nice cleanin' I added some tulle and ribbon that I bought at Wal Mart. I 100% realize that this will not last all year. But, they sure will be cute for the first week or so :) I printed out a fresh set of
Labels and taped them down with packing tape. I tape over the sign and around the bucket so that it sticks for the longest amount of time possible :))
You can find my
table caddy numbers HERE. I so wish I could make them editable or with different table numbers/colors, but with school quickly approaching, I just don't have the extra time! So sorry!
