River Trip, Good-bye Friends, and Dad's Birthday!

It's been awhile since I've last posted! This past weekend I went to San Antonio to float the Guadalupe River! My cousin rented a house that was right on the river....we had a fun time! It was really relaxing. Here are some pictures of our trip!

My friend Kristan and I had fun taking pictures out on the balcony! : )



the view! So pretty!


The Girls
Excuse the way I look - I was roughin' it for the weekend!

Today, I had my new hire meeting. I cannot believe that school starts in a little over a month! I'm getting really excited/anxious. I can't wait to get into my classroom and start decorating. After my meeting, I stopped by Lakeshore and bought this "Welcome" sign for my room!


The other day I made this poster to hang on my wall/door. Can you believe how crafty I'm getting? Haha! My mentor from student teaching had her students sing this song at the end of each day! I thought it was a cute idea.


Today is also my Dad's birthday! We took him out to Pappadeaux tonight to celebrate!

Crayon Wreath For My Classroom!

This weekend, I decided to be crafty and make a decoration for my new classroom! Have y'all ever seen a crayon wreath before? A teacher I used to work with had one hanging up in her classroom and I just loved it. I bought everything I needed to make the wreath at Michael's and Hobby Lobby....and it only cost me about $20. I think it turned out so cute!

Materials:

  • One 10" and one 14" embroidery hoop (or whatever size you want)
  • Crayons 
  • Stickers/wood cutouts/chalkboard/etc. 
  • Ribbon 
  • Glue gun

Basically, you just place the smaller embroidery hoop inside the larger one and glue the crayons around it. After you're done with that, you can glue on wood cutouts or whatever you want onto the crayons. Then, you can add a bow by tying ribbon around the two crayons at the very top of the wreath....you also use ribbon to hang it as well. Pretty easy! 





I'm so proud of myself for being so crafty! Haha! I actually had a lot of fun making it! : )
