Final Blog Post

This is my final post for this blog as I am no longer teaching and am on to new adventures. Thank you for all for visiting this blog!

The Interview Outfit

The dress I'm modeling for you today helped me land my new job! Again, I tried to show you some different ways I wear it throughout the year to school. I am trying to be pretty minimal with my closet (and stay on a budget) so you will be seeing a lot of repeated accessories and cardigans!

Getting Ready For A New School Year!

Have any of you other teachers been up to the school trying to get your room ready yet? This teacher has! Since I changed positions and schools, there is so MUCH to do! Furthermore, school starts back in one week so I am doing practical decorations this year. My door I decorated today is pictured below. I am still running with my farm theme, but since my new door is navy blue I decided not to cover it with paper. Simple, easy to make, cute, and still goes with my theme. I'll add my students names to the apples and my name when I get my class list (and excuse the peanut allergy sign!)! I am teaching in an urban, older school so my classroom looks a little different from before!

I also posted an outfit for you that I have worn to open house/meet the teacher night.

The Striped Tee (an essential for me)

Hi there! I am sorry it's been so long since I've posted! Life has been so busy. Since I posted last, I have accepted a new job teaching SPED Pre-K in the public school system here in TN! I wanted to update my blog on some new outfit combos I've been wearing to school over the last year. My outfits are just a "base" so feel free to tweak them to make them more comfortable for you (ex-I like wearing heels because I'm short!) :)

I'll start off with a basic striped tee. Here's some combos I've worn to work over the different seasons (yes, it gets quite cold in TN!). I will post my weekend and summer outfits in another post with this shirt.

Farmer Day in Preschool...What I'm Wearing

Tomorrow in preschool, we will be wrapping up our discussion of the farm by celebrating Farmer Day! We will talk about what the farmer does, make butter, have a stick horse and spoon and egg relay, and have wagon rides around the parking lot. We will also all dress like farmers. Since I am wearing my plaid shirt, I thought it would be fun to show you how I can remix it for different seasons. My plaid shirt was thrifted. And as far as my picture with my cowboy boots...well, I'm from Tennessee and we wear cowboy boots :)

A Few More Pics of My Room

Here are a few more pictures of my preschool classroom. I teach at a private Christian school that houses 18 month olds-12th graders!! My first year of teaching I taught 2 year olds, last year I taught 3-4 year olds, and now I'm teaching a mixed class of 2-3 year olds! I teach mainly through play and my learning centers, but we also have 2 large group times and 1 small group time. I don't like spending a lot of money to decorate so I mainly use the butcher paper and dicuts at my school to decorate my classroom. Most of my decorations look simple and were easy to make. Since some of you teach just 2s , or just 3s, or just 4s, I'll try to post some pictures of my learning centers this year and some from last year in another post so you can see the difference in my room! These pictures are from my current classroom. The first picture is one of my front bulletin boards (I haven't written the kids' names yet on the flowers). The second picture is my Reading Center and Felt Board. The last picture is the welcome sign I made for the beginning of school.
