Taking a blogging break...

Hi friends!!!! Just snuck away to write a very quick post.... I promised my family I would turn off my computer/iPad/phone during the rest of the Summer..... Just wanted to share that I went to Houston Frogstreet Press Splash and loved it!!!!! I got sooo many new ideas!!! Okay, I said quick post...sooooo c-ya for now!!!! Oh and I'm soooo excited to be getting more and more followers everyday!!!!

Monthly Labeled Carts are READY!!!

Okay just wanted to post pics of my recent projects :)

And... here are some pics of the labels I made for my carts.  I am ready to start filling up these drawers with monthly goodies :)))

The Treasure Box!!!  I was sooo lucky to find these cute little rub on stickers on sale at Target...and they were just perfect since I LOVE LOVE LOVE music!!! The box is from Hobby Lobby...you know.... the store that you walk in and forget about everything and everyone :))))

Updated Alphabet Chart and Posters

Okay....I finally updated the alphabet chart and posters with the Koala for "K", and Umbrella for U.... I couldn't find anything that fits the the letter "U" and has a short sound that fits for Spanish and English.  If one of my bilingual followers ever comes across something please let me know :)

Just click on the pics and they should take you to the updated docs :)

Another Freebie LABELS

Hello to all my new followers! You just don't know how happy I am that you guys found my page :)!!!!  Okay, well I haven't forgotten to go and update my alphabet chart.  I am just trying to think of what to use for the letter "U". For now, I will probably switch it to Umbrella (just to have the short "U" sound while I think of a word that fits both Spanish and English. 

I'm sorry I haven't posted recently.  I have been working Summer School and working on the little kitchen for my classroom... I am so excited!!!! it's starting to look sooo cute (pics to come :))...

Now on to my freebie :)...  I have two sets of labels.  The first set you can use for Sterilite 3-Drawer Carts that you can purchase at Wal-Mart or Target.  I have 3 of them. I made some monthly labels to go on them.  I purposely left them black and white because using color ink for everything is just killing me!!! Sooooo expensive!!!  So... what I will do, is use super-cute scrapbook paper and attach these labels to them.  (I will post pics later!) :)

The second set is also in black and white.  Most of these labels are smaller.  I found some cute colorful cube-like containers at Dollar Tree that have lids on them. These labels will fit perfect on those or even on the shoe size plastic containers that are sold everywhere.  I also included a few labels that are longer for Sterilite Carts.  I hope you can use them! Again, sorry they are not in color, but if you use super-cute scrapbook paper with them they look fabulous!!!!

I think I went overboard with the labels...but seriously teachers have A LOT of stuff!!!! :)

My freebie needs a little update :)

I think I was soooo excited to post my first freebie that I didn't realize I used unicorn for the letter "u" hmmm need to sleep on that..... Uhhhhh umbrella...noooo...up...no....hmmm... will fix tomorrow....also, I know that kangaroo in Spanish starts with a c, but I couldn't find anything else to put for "k".... So I just went with it since it starts with the same sound. if you know of anything else that's better for "k" let me know and I will update.

My First Freebie Bilingual Alphabet Chart and Posters

Okay so today I will try to post my very first freebie!!! I am a bilingual teacher and really have a hard time finding materials that I really like soooooo most of the time I will create my own.  I spent all last night and this morning creating an alphabet chart and the alphabet cards that will go over my chalkboard.  So, you say... what's so special about an alphabet chart....hmmmm well trying to come up with words that begin with the same sound in both Spanish and English is NOT a piece of cake!!!  especially words that start with J, Q, K, W, and Y.... I am planning to take the chart and enlarge it at Office Depot about poster size.  I hope I figure out how to post so you or your bilingual teacher friends can use in their classroom!!!

Pencil Holders

Today after working Summer school, I took a little trip to the dollar store. I wanted to look for stuff to use on some of those pinterest projects I keep pinning :).  I was soooooo excited to find these little metal plant pot thingies to use for my pencil holders!!!! I was really looking for some hot pink ones like I saw on pinterest...but there weren't any pink...lucky boys!!! So I bought 2 of the yellow ones and painted some blue dots on them and I love the way they came out!!! So here is my $2 project of the day!!!!

Ohhh while I was there I also went a little crazy with the colored baskets/bins.... I won't say how many I bought, but I think I'm covered for the year heeheeheehee :)
