Blog Name Changes...

The change may be very subtle, however I am working on my classroom website for next year, and I'm thinking that I'd like to have everything through blogger/google instead of using a separate site.

So I really like the name Mrs. Hall's Fabulous Firsts for my classroom website so I've adjusted this one to be Mrs. Hall's Fabulous Finds since most of what I post here are awesome resources that I've found and want to share. Or things that I feel could benefit you that I've done in my classroom. And I actually went with "Mrs. Hall's Fantastic Firsts" for my classroom website/blog just a tiny twist on what this site used to be. I'm hoping that by starting now I can have it up and running by next school year which really isn't that far away...yikes...only 20 more days for us until the end of the year. That's a lot of end of the year testing and evaluation :-) Better get back to it :-)

Hope you enjoy and that this didn't confuse or cause anyone any problems :-)

Have a blessed day!

Construction Paper Organization



Updated post...I hope to update again when I figure out how to rotate the photo and place a new photo of it actually in my closet.

Is anyone else frustrated by the stack of construction paper that is sitting in their storage closet? I was totally fed up with it and I cannot remember where I first saw this idea however its so much better than the nasty stack of construction paper that was in my closet prior to organizing this.

Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate the picture, I posted the original blog post from my phone. 

Here is the link to the boxes from Ikea, unfortunately they don't sell them online but its the best price for magazine boxes I've ever found! For me it's worth the drive to Phoenix to buy them. Last time I went I bought about 10 packages of them.

The other idea I've found that I love is from a blog I've found called Two Things in Common 
Love it. If I find a way to have an extra file drawer I may switch to that, however for now I love my new way to store them!
