YAY!!!
I love, love, love my job, but there is nothing quite like summer vacation!!!!
We just finished our last day of school yesterday and all I have now is a lovely clean slate (shown above).
And a pretty organized (for me) packed-up classroom..

And a very obvious storage container problem...

(there's more in hiding, in a closet). I'm impressed my arms could stack the containers that high. I'm pretty tired today. But totally elated!! And ready to blog away!
To celebrate, I'm throwing a little party. It's based on a linky I had last year, my Classroom Shopping Linky Party. It was so much fun to see what everyone was buying, so I thought I would try it again!
This time, I will be hosting a Summer Shopping party, one for each month of summer. The party for June will begin tomorrow evening. If you'd like to join in, just blog away about your latest teaching finds and swing by here to link up!
I can't wait to catch with everyone soon!! How I've missed teachingblogland!
Sounds like fun Kristen! Congratulations on making it to summer!

Yay summer! I think the containers are a universal teacher problem!

Those baskets are hilarious. I just bought 6 MORE at Michael's yesterday. I think I have a problem.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for the linky, but I'm embarrassed about how much I've bought. Maybe airing my dirty laundry will be therapy :)

Your storage container problem picture made me laugh out loud!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was packing up my old classroom and getting ready to move into my current one, I couldn't believe how many baskets/containers I had. You're not the only one with the container obsession!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the linky party :)

YAY! Kristen is finally out of school!
ReplyDeleteSummer can begin!
If those baskets are from Really Good Stuff, my baskets and your baskets could meet up for their own party...
SO happy for your freedom!

ReplyDeleteThe other teachers in my school just laugh at me and my closet-the one that has all of the storage containers! A whole closet devoted to them. :)

Yay! I'm so excited about this linky party!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the linky idea. Also, I'm pretty sure we have the same compulsion to purchase brightly colored containers.
