My Instant Classroom!

I've been gone from blogland for a while now due to an extended family visit and a small electrical fire!!  Everyone is fine, and none of our possessions were damaged, but a week and a half ago we had a small fire at our house.  There is some structural damage and we are staying in a hotel for a few more days until the house is fixed.  It's been a stressful few weeks for sure, but I'm looking forward to school starting and life settling down and getting into our regular routine.

I was on Pinterest (addicted) and came across this great link!  My instant classroom has two tools that I really love!
A random name generator!

They also have a seating chart tool that you can use to plan out your desk arrangements!  This is so much easier than drawing it out on paper like I usually do, erasing and rewriting kids names.  (These are not my real students' names.)

FREEBIE! VA- Standards of Learning Checklist-


Hi Friends!!
I’ve been absent quite a while now, my parents needed me to stay with them after my mom had back surgery.  So I’ve been playing the dutiful daughter- trying anyway!  I’m actually still staying with them to help out a little and while I’m here I created this for my Virginia Friends.  I know a lot of you are implementing the Common core standards, but here in Virginia we are sticking with our own standards.
The next thing I’m going to work on is the posters for displaying the standards that the students are currently working on.

Hope this helps some of you!
