Blue and Gold Spirit Week Continued!

This is the last day to wear Blue and Gold this week because tomorrow is picture day. This is the first picture day in a long time that I haven't had my outfit planned at least a week in advance. I'm still looking for inspiration on Pinterest. I will definitely share pictures of my Picture Day outfit!

Last week we were learning all about maps and the continents. I taught my students a song I learned from one of my professors in college on how to remember the continents. My students loved it and still ask to sing it each day. I love doing songs in class. It's so much fun! We also made these fun World Maps with all of the continents and oceans on a blue paper plate. They did such an awesome job!

MORE Blue and Gold Spirit Week!

This week is crazy busy with meetings every day whether it's before school or after school. Today, we had a carry-in for lunch. Our school does something called "Birthday Cafe" where every month with celebrate all of the staff birthdays by either having a carry-in lunch or we order out lunch. We have three floors in our school so each floor has a month where they carry-in and a month where they pick where to order out from. Today was bottom floor's turn to carry-in, which is my floor (the best floor ;)) Ha! We did soups, salads, breads, and desserts. I brought in brownies...easy and delicious! :)
It was all so good and we were all in a food coma after eating so much! Ha!

It's been a busy Blue and Gold Spirit Week, but I'm loving all my blue and gold outfit combos!

What I wore today:

Findlay Trojans V-Neck!

Tortoise Chain Necklace from Amazon similar to this for $20.

Blue and Gold Spirit Week!

This week is our high school's homecoming, so the whole district is having a spirit week. Our school decided to just do blue and gold, Findlay Trojan spirit week and we have picture day on Friday. We will see how it goes. I believe I have enough blue and gold clothes because it's my favorite color combo! I'm still not positive what I will be wearing for Picture Day yet. That picture goes on our school badge, so it needs to be a good outfit (at least from the waist up). Ha!

Last Friday, my mom came in to volunteer in my classroom for the first time. She is going to be coming once every week. I'm so excited. They kids just loved her!! She said she had a blast too. She  let's them read to her and she fills out a reading conference form for each student. It's so helpful for me to read the notes to see how they read and if the book was easy, too hard, or just right. Also, it's nice to see how their well they are doing with reading comprehension. My mom has always loved reading, so this is right up her alley. :)

Here is my blue and gold outfit for today:

Navy and White Button Down from Macy's for $49.99.

LEI Cords from Walmart similar to these for $29.99.

Brown flats from Payless similar to these for $16.99.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! 

Complete Sentence Buddies!

Last week we were working on writing complete sentences, using our CUPS (Capital, Understand, Punctuation, Spelling) Rules! They did so great! I was so proud! These Complete Sentence Buddies turned out so cute! I had to display them in our hallway. :)

So....I'm a little obsessed with the new trend of sweatshirts that are CUTE and Classy!!! I love how they are making so many sweatshirts, so cute with embellishments, embroidery, ruffles, etc. It makes a sweatshirt appropriate for work....haha That sounds crazy, but it's true.

Pleats and Pearls

This dress....as soon as I saw it at Kohl's, I was in love. It's Lauren Conrad, which I love all of her stuff. It's always so pretty, girly, and classy. This dress is SO comfortable and flowy. I love it! The pleats are so classy and the cap sleeves with the collar detail make it so pretty. I added some pearls for a simple and classic look.
Do you love Lauren Conrad's clothing line at Kohl's as much as I do?

Weekend with a Bestie!

Happy Monday everyone!!! Let's get this week started!

I had a great weekend this past weekend! Friday night I had a dinner date with my best friend Angie at Outback Steakhouse! I haven't been there in forever and it was delicious! Then, she came over and we watched a Netflix movie. We laughed and laughed. It was so nice catching up with her. Saturday morning I took Angie to see my classroom. She was amazed and how much things have changed since she was in first grade. Ha ha! :) Then, we checked out the good deals at Kohl's! Of course I left the store and when I went to put on one of the things I bought, I realized the huge sensor thing was still on it. DARN! Don't you hate when that happens!!!!!! After shopping, Colin and I went to his sister's house to celebrate her engagement and watch the Ohio State football game! It was so much fun! I'm so beyond happy for her and her fiance. :)

What I wore Friday night to dinner:

Statement Necklace from Amazon for $7.00!!

Express Polka Dot sweater from Gabe's similar to this for $4.99.

Guess Boyfriend Jeans from Gabe's similar to these for $36.94.
Brown Flats from Payless similar to these for $16.99.

I hope you all had a great weekend!!

Stripes!

The temperatures have been quite cooler this week, so I can actually wear pants and still be comfortable. I absolutely love the chiffon flowy-ness of this top I got from Stitch Fix. It was cool and comfortable. It's also a high enough neckline, so I don't feel uncomfortable. I had my windows open all day yesterday in my classroom and leaves were blowing against the screen. I said, "Oh hello Fall! It's nice to see you."  I love fall weather and I have been craving some chili. YUM! The perfect football watching fall comfort food. :)

Today, I have a Marzano training all day with many other teachers in our school district. It will be a fun day to catch up with teachers and learn new things to incorporate in the classroom. I always love learning new things!! :)

Stitch Fix striped top similar to this for $22.94.

Khaki Pants from Wet Seal similar to these for $28.90.

Brown Flats from Payless similar to these for $14.90.

I love when Bear gets in my photos. He's so silly!
