Summer is nearly here. My time at Panther Creek is coming to a close!

I am not sure what I will be doing next year as far as teaching.  However, I have decided to learn more about blogging, and opening a store to sell creative things for teachers!  

Before I do anything, we are heading out to California!  My son is graduating from Orange Coast College with Film Making!  My daughter just graduated from Texas Women's University with English!  Plus both their birthdays!

We are going to be celebrating in Orange County!!!!

Then it will be time to finish my school year at Panther Creek CISD!  Hopefully, I will teach again!  I love teaching!  I also like to create things, and have lots of teacher things to sell!

Beginning a new day as STARR testing comes to a close

We have to sequester Pre K, K, 1st and 2nd in a building away from the school so the testing people can test!!!!

We are watching RIO!  

New things coming your way!!!!

I am going to be creating for TPT, and selling many of my endless teacher books, and supplies I have for almost every subject.  Check EBAY for new listings, and TPT!   I have taught Bilingual Pre K, K, 1st , and 2nd for about 20 years, and regular Pre K, K, 1st, and 2nd for about 10 years! I have something for everybody!
Please forward this blog to all the teachers you know that like to get new ideas, and open to try NEW ones....!!!  My classroom is always busy, filled with kids experiencing new and innovative things!  

A rainy Day in Ballinger!!!

It is a wonderfully rainy day in Ballinger Texas!  I am ready to begin my new hand at creating stuff for TPT!  I have so many ideas!  I will just start creating and sharing as I begin my new classroom!  Just downloaded some new graphics from Scrapping Doodles!
I am going to download and purchase from
 Tunstall's Teaching Bits!
                                                    
I am also going to order from  to learn how to be a better blogger!  From the Organized Classroom Blog!


I want to be young and vibrant in my creations!  I learned how to do the Smartboard, and the Mimeo in my classroom in Spring, Texas at Jenkins!  I was determined to do that!  I DID IT!!  Now we have moved to Ballinger, Texas!  WE are beginning our new life here with a practically empty nest!  I am going to teach way far out in the country!  The only 2nd grade teacher in a pre k-12 school!  Yall who know me know I am a country girl at heart! BUT IHAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CITY GIRL until NOW!

My Mr. told me this AM that he might let me get a farm animal.....maybe two!  They will have to live in a small 10X50 PEN,  on the other side of my house from my GRUMPY neighbor! Maybe you can send me suggestions as to what kind I can get!  Quiet, farm"ish", smallish, sweet and loving, and wants to be petted!  There are no city ordinances about animals in Ballinger!  Except my dogs cannot bark incessantly!  (GRUMPY NEIGHBOR)!
