Now that I have shared a few from my group, I would LOVE to hear from you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a no pressure, link up whenever you feel like it, or don't link up at all, kind of linky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can link up once a week, once a month, once ever, or just stop by to read some of the funny things that people share!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Link up if you are a teacher of ANY grade level or a parent with a funny child!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are some blank templates that you can use if you want, or you can just type it in a regular post!</div>

My little ones and I have been having a blast together! We are loving and learning like crazy. I always start the first few weeks with a TON of bonding activities to help students get to know each other and form loving relationships. The classroom climate is THE most important thing to focus on (in my opinion) to have a successful year together! Teaching my kiddos to have empathy and treat one another with kindness and respect is first thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw <a href="http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-survived-week-2-how-about-you.html" target="_blank">this perfect idea</a> on Cara's wonderful blog "The First Grade Parade", I knew I had to make it my own and do it with my tiny tots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We began by reading the story <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chrysanthemum-Kevin-Henkes/dp/0688147321" target="_blank">Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chrysanthemum-Kevin-Henkes/dp/0688147321" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4srjs5po3cX8n0A9rBdUa-1qXNAphF5ZFSbrH5xdb3tjMKJ7KTlB9IqFfxGDbukako8nbSG5CBU8MnUceGdEM2uEmqMahrMgY4HFQsJMaUg2RG2O-8lRm8gdMuNiQG3RdLCOjyzobSUqY/s1600/Chrysanthemum.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I explained that we were going to read a story that shows how very important it is to treat one another with love and kindness. I held up a large heart cut-out and explained that each of us has a heart and our heart's hold all of the good feelings and love that we have. We were pretending that the heart was Chrysanthemum's heart. As we read the story, the kid's passed it around and every time someone said something hurtful to Chrysanthemum, we crumbled her heart a little more. This showed how our hearts are feeling when we get our feelings hurt.</div>

The moral of the activity was that the words they say to each other can leave hearts feeling sad long after we say them. We worked to heal her heart by bandaging it up! We glued the cute poem in the center as a reminder to choose our words carefully.</div>

Let's face it - kid's like anything that includes food. They just do. And who could blame them?? I came up with this idea late one night before school the next day and was SO excited to do it with the kids. It was a great way to celebrate our brand new friends and create something they could bring home and share the experience with their families.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started by reading the story "A Rainbow of Friends" by P.K. Hallinan and discussing the importance of friendship!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started our follow-up activity by giving each friend 4 marshmallows, 4 little sticks (wooden skewers chopped in half), and a plate of Fruit Loops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Before adding each color of fruit loop, we discussed what each color represents in our classroom!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Red = Love</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Orange = Honesty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yellow = Happiness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Green = Sharing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blue = Hard Work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Purple = Imagination</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marshmallows = Kindness</div>

I printed a fun description on full sheet labels. I had two labels per page. I stuck them on the front of their bags and they were able to take their rainbows home with them!</div>

Aaaaah the first day of kindergarten! A day full of excitement, anticipation, fun, and a bit of fear (for everyone). I want my new sweeties to have a total blast and I want it to be memorable for them. I also want to maintain my sanity and not roll away as a massive ball of stress. It's a thin line my friends, a thin line. But I walk it, and honestly, this was one of the smoothest first days I've ever had! My newly-made kinders are completely adorbs and fabulous, of course. I love them already!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing that I do on the first day is make them a first day pin! I've made them many different ways in the past but this year I thought up a quick, easy, and super cute way and the kids loved them!<br />

I bought wooden rounds, Mod Podge, and sticky pin backs from A.C. Moore - all for under $10 (my A.C. Moore is a liquidation store and everything is 40% off all the time)! I then made the button faces in powerpoint, making sure the diameter matched the size of the wooden rounds. I printed them on REGULAR white paper - not cardstock.</div>

I am SUPER excited to share my newest creation with you! This year I am introducing my little learners to Interactive Notebooks! I wanted the students to be able to work on one letter each week and complete a variety of activities to help them truly master the letter and sound. This thought led me to creating my brand new "Interactive Letter of the Week Notebook"! I made a version in both D'nealian and Primary style fonts. I always have a very hard time finding resources in D'nealian (which is what we use at our school) so I was sure to make both versions!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the students complete and add one activity to their notebook each day. This allows five days of interactive activities focused on the letter we are working on that week. You could really mix and match the activities and days however you want!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each pack includes all 26 letters of the alphabet, as well as the 5 long vowel sounds, making it ready to use for 31 weeks!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check them out and see if you think they could work for your letter-learners as well! You can download a free preview set for the "Letter A" for each type - just click the links below!</div>

School is definitely back in session my friends! I have been back for 3 weeks, but it feels like much longer - and I mean that in a totally, ridiculously positive way. My kiddos are well trained and we already have a daily groove. I cannot wait to share what we have been up to with you because these little learners ROCK!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now, I am super thrilled to share my bright, bold, and super organized new classroom! I am completely loving it too. It took countless hours and lots of hard work, but I am very happy with the end result. It makes me happy to be there each day and most importantly - the kids love it! There is a place for everything and that certainly helps the little ones to become part of the daily routines.</div>

My super cute teacher desk! I made the little hanging sign in powerpoint and hung it with some orange ribbon! I'm super happy with how it came out! I rarely use this desk honestly. It is basically "volunteer headquarters." I moved my computer to my small group table and it is much more useful there, as I do many interactive things with the littles during centers (songs, videos, slideshows, games, etc.) I have more room by my small group table too :)</div>

Shut. The. Front. Door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you seeing my new blog? I mean reeeeeealllly seeing it? I am completely obsessed. It is redesigned and amazing, if I do say so myself. I actually did it all by myself. And by that, I mean I had absolutely nothing to do with it. The phenomenal, spectacular, and creative genius<a href="http://www.designsbytenille.com/" target="_blank"> Tenille from Designs by Tenille</a> did a bang up job remodeling KinderLand! I could not be more excited about it. And how sweet is it that she kept the feel of my old blog design with the little sunglasses? Sigh, love her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are in the business for a bloggy makeover, <a href="http://www.designsbytenille.com/" target="_blank">Tenille</a> is your girl. She was quick and had awesome ideas. She was also super kind and loving when I had about 400 suggestions/needs. She didn't even pay me to say all of this, haha, she's just spectacular!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few things to check out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Mostly every font on this page is my own creation! Hooray to that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Peek at the new tabs across the top and check out what's new there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*See my awesome social media links across the top? Click 'em and go stalk me already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Look at that beautiful new button - super chic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*That little "scroll to top" button is one of the cutest things I have ever seen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*New and ridiculously awesome "pin it" button on all pictures! Finally!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there you have it! I hope you'll peek around at all the new fun!</div>

Hello fabulous you! I'm starting something new today. The new school year is about to begin and I'm in total stress mode people. I've been trying to remind myself of all the things I love about my job and if there is one thing that I love more than anything else, it is listening to the things my crazy kids say. They literally make me bust out laughing every day. Half the time they don't even mean to be funny, they just plain are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to write things down as often as possible, because I can never remember exactly how it went down later. You know that awkward moment when you try to explain a funny story to someone, and you're like "no wait, first he said, no I mean, well anyway..." and you finally get done and they give you a pity chuckle, "heh heh" and you say "Well it was funnier then, you had to be there." That happens to me allll the time. Hence, I must write things down. I have a word document with about 50 pages of funny things I have heard over the past few years and countless sticky notes with scribbled quotes from my kinder krew. I have decided to start a weekly linky where I will share some of the hilarity that is my life with you. Let me introduce you to...</div>

There was many-a-time this year that I had to just take a break for a few minutes to collect myself. My kids this year were mini-adults, they knew EVERYTHING and had no shame in sharing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love them so much :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I have shared a few from my group, I would LOVE to hear from you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a no pressure, link up whenever you feel like it, or don't link up at all, kind of linky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can link up once a week, once a month, once ever, or just stop by to read some of the funny things that people share!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Link up if you are a teacher of ANY grade level or a parent with a funny child!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some blank templates that you can use if you want, or you can just type it in a regular post!</div>

Have you heard the news? The annual TPT Back to School sale is coming! Eeeeeeek! Seriously you guys, I look forward to these big sales. I stock up that wishlist and buy everything. No joke, this is me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
CLIPART, ACTIVITIES, PRINTABLES, LET'S DO THIS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are the deets:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/SitewideSales" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="300 × 250" src="http://mcdn.teacherspayteachers.com/img/sale_banners/sale_300_250.jpg?rand=002269" height="266" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will also be offering an extra 20% off of EVERYTHING in my store! If you've been eyeing anything in particular, this is the time to bite the bullet. These big sales don't come around often and you can get some amazing deals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Suggestion:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be sure to provide feedback on ALL of your purchases to rack up credits! You can see anything that still needs feedback in your "My Purchases and Downloads" page on TPT. Those credits add up! Last time I had toooooons of credits and got like $15 off!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I'm going to share my sale plans... mwahaha! Can't wait to buy some awesome stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hi friends :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days ago I posted all about my <a href="http://keepinitkoolinkinderland.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-new-office-reveal-eeeeeeek.html" target="_blank">new office</a>. I was literally shocked that I got about 6 emails asking me what kind of camera I use. Imagine that, me a photographer?! HA! I was pretty excited though because I have been working my tail off to learn how to use my camera and take better photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just start by saying that I am NOT a professional photographer and that I am well aware that my pictures are not the best and certainly not professional quality. I have just recently begun learning how to work my camera in manual mode and I have nowhere to go but up from here :) I am having fun taking pictures and will share with you a few tips that I am learning along the way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my beautiful camera. It is a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-Digital-18-55mm-Movie/dp/B004J3Y9U6" target="_blank">Canon Rebel T3</a>. It is a Digital SLR camera. It is certainly not the most expensive one out there, but it works perfectly for what I need it for. If you are going to purchase one, I do recommend spending a bit more for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-EF-S-18-55mm-Digital/dp/B00IB1BTWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406394945&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+rebel+t5" target="_blank">Canon Rebel T5</a>. It has 18 megapixels while the T3 has 12.2. More megapixels basically means that you will have more detail in your images. Be careful though, because more megapixels does not always mean it will capture better images. There are a few other differences as well, but I won't get into the technical mumbo jumbo. To sum it up, the T3 is fabulous for me and I love it. It is wonderful quality for the price. </div>

I have had my camera for about 2 years now and honestly haven't been using it as more than a 'point and shoot' for most of that time. This summer I finally decided that I would try to actually understand my camera and utilize the features and awesomeness that it has to offer. I started by taking a 3-hour DSLR for Beginners Class at my local photo store, <a href="http://creativephotofl.com/photo-classes.html" target="_blank">CreativePhoto</a>. At first I was like: woah, this is hard. And then it all started to click (pun intended) for me little by little. By the end of the class, I was much more confident with my skills. It does take practice though and I am still practicing every day to get better. I am not all that good right now, but hope to improve!</div>

The Rebel T3 is just the camera body.</div>

There are many lenses that you can purchase to create different styles of photographs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Quick tip: see that blurry background? It is called "bokeh." I have heard it pronounced like "boca", but apparently the correct way to pronounce it is "bo-ke" bow (like in your hair) and ke (like at the beginning of the word kettle). Who knows. Anyway, the important thing to know is that when the photograph is focused on something with an out of focus background, the blurry background is called bokeh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most often when you buy the T3, it will come in some sort of bundle and will include the <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_s_18_55mm_f_3_5_5_6_is_ii" target="_blank">Canon 18-55 mm Standard Zoom Lens</a> (the top picture). The numbers (18-55) are called the focal length and basically tell you how much your camera will zoom in and out. This was the only lens I had for a long time because I really didn't know any different. I've found that this is a great lens for everyday use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second lens is a <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_75_300mm_f_4_5_6_iii" target="_blank">Canon 75-300mm Telephoto Zoom Lens</a>. I don't use this one very often. It is great for taking photos of things that are far away because you can really zoom in on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last of my lenses is my favorite. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-Camera-Lens/dp/B00007E7JU" target="_blank">Canon 50mm lens</a>. It is called a prime lens which means that it does not zoom in and out at all. It is my favorite lens to get the bokeh effect with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I seriously want a few more lenses but MAN are they expensive. I currently have a wide-angle lens on my wishlist :)</div>

There are three important things that you need to know in order to make the most of your camera: aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. I will not even pretend to go into all of the specifics about them because I am still learning myself. I did find some amazing tutorials on <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/" target="_blank">Kevin & Amanda</a> that have been extremely helpful to me. I seriously suggest taking a class first though because it can be pretty hard to understand things without having someone explain things first. At least it was for me :)</div>

Here's hoping I get better!! The thing is, I'm trying not to stress about whether they are 'professional quality' or not because let's face it, I'm just a regular kindergarten teacher using a regular camera taking pictures of regular stuff. It's all good though because it's just so much fun to take pictures!</div>

OOOOOOH my goodness. It's finally done. I did it I did it! I finished my office and I am completely obsessed with it. I am not even kidding, I sat in there for like hours yesterday for no apparent reason. I didn't even have any "officey" things to do, but I just love being in that space. It makes me feel creative and happy. Are you ready to see it? I mean reeeeaaaallllyyyy ready?! Ok, here's the big reveal (resisting the urge to scream "move that bus!")</div>

My favorite part of the entire room is the chalkboard wall. I am soooo happy with how it turned out. Here's a little play by play of how it was created. I bought three 30 oz containers of <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Specialty-30-oz-Flat-Black-Chalkboard-Paint-206540/100141287" target="_blank">Rust-Oleum Flat Black Chalkboard Paint</a>. I ended up only using 2 for the entire wall, but am glad I have the extra for other details around the room. I poured the paint in a paint tray and then just rolled it on like regular paint. It is thicker than regular paint so be sure to stir it reeeeeeally well before pouring it into the tray. The paint can get a bit splashy when rolling (I ended up with little black dots all over me) so I suggest using a paint roller that is thicker and more dense instead of the cheapy kind. I painted one coat completely and let it dry for only about 30 minutes. The container says to wait 24 hours between coats, but I am super impatient and was like nooooo thanks, so I waited 30 minutes. It was dry to the touch at that point so I figured it would be fine anyway. I painted another complete coat and let it dry for another 30 minutes. At that point it was looking pretty solid but I decided to give it one more coat, making it 3 total (in a span of like 2 hours). After painting, I let it dry completely for a few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After it was completely dry, I was ready to write. When you first paint a chalkboard wall you have to do something called "priming". If you skip this step, then basically everything you write on your board will be permanent. To prime, you just lay a piece of chalk on it's side and cover the entire wall with chalk. Rub it in pretty good and then erase it with a rag or eraser. I used a car wash mitt that looks like this:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It worked really well surprisingly. I also used a swiffer sweeper pad to collect all the extra dustiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, I was ready to write and OMG I was so excited. I mapped everything out first. I found some of my favorite quotes and inspirational thoughts to keep my space creative. I made a powerpoint document with each of the quotes on a black background and played around with what I would want them all to look like. For example:</div>

I'm actually pretty sad because I ran out of room and couldn't fit that one up there so I figured I would share it here. Once I had my little mock ups of what I wanted to do, I just chose spots for things and free-hand wrote each quote. I was careful to be sure the quotes didn't run into one another. I was quite surprised with how well it went, considering it was all free-hand. I was sure it would be horrible hahaha</div>

This chair is from <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50184916/" target="_blank">Ikea and is called "Muren"</a>. This chair has a very funny story. So I was at Ikea with my family. My dad and my sister were pretty sick of shopping since we had been there all day, but me and my mom were still trucking along. They took a little resty on some chairs while we hit up the clearance "as-is" section. I was in the market for an awesome chair but had no luck so far. As we're walking through the clearance, I see these two women looking at this chair. They were sitting in it, looking it over, reclining it (yes, it reclines! score!). They asked 3 employees questions about it. I was staring at that beauty from across the room and just knew it had to be mine. I whisper to my mom and we pretty much hawk them for like 20 minutes. We pretended to be looking at this beautiful cabinet (cough, piece of junk, cough) next to the char and contemplating whether we should get it. Heh heh. So finally the women said, "Well I'm not sure if we can get it today, we didn't bring the right vehicle. Let's walk around and think about it and come back in a bit." AAAAH! The second they walked away we picked that guy up and put it on a cart. Rolled it away right and it was mine. Mwa ha ha! Maybe I should feel bad about that, but I don't. I'm sorry, but they left it there and it was free for the picking. So we picked, and it was amazing. It was 50% off just because it had been a floor model and was in perfect condition. I just Febreezed the **** out of that guy when we got home. Yes please :) </div>

So I knew I had to have a pop of color to break up the black, gray, and white. I thought teal would be perfect! I looked allll over for pillows and finally found the perfect ones at <a href="http://www.tuesdaymorning.com/" target="_blank">Tuesday Morning</a>. That little place is adorable and full of unique things at great prices. I also snagged the little basket in the picture below. The white table is one of my favorite things. It was from <a href="http://www.homegoods.com/" target="_blank">HomeGoods</a>. It is actually an umbrella holder, but I loved the look of it so I flipped it upside down and am using it as as table. Cool right?! My kindle case just happened to be teal so it matches perfectly :)</div>

I did not sleep last night. I am NOT kidding, I literally never went to sleep. I tried, I really did, but sleep would just not come. I read for a while (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Maze-Runner-Book-1/dp/0385737955" target="_blank">The Maze Runner</a> - have you read this? You really should if you haven't, it is amaaaaaazing, I'm like super obsessed right now), then I put the book down (well, the iPad) and watched tv, then laid there flopping around like a fish trying to get cozy for like 2 hours. I hate that flopping business. My legs get all restless and then my arms are all awkward, so I keep flipping. UGH. And not a wee bit tired, no dozing at all, not even a wink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I just got out of bed and busied myself around the house. Ate some crap, super delicious ice cream and chips, which made me feel guilty and is ultimately crap. But I never went to sleep, so I am telling myself it's ok to eat that at 4 AM when you don't sleep, it won't turn into fat immediately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Surprisingly, I am not even tired right now. WHAT is wrong with me?!? Why can't I always have this much energy? Must be the summer time schedule throwing me for a loop. Or maybe I'm just a fruit loop, who knows?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho, I am so excited because I am redesigning my home office!! EEK!!! I have been wanting to do this forever and am finally doing it. I saved up the cash money flow and got all my ideas together and started about two weeks ago. I am almost finished and can't wait to share it with you!! Maybe tomorrow I will post the finished product. Here's a tiny sneak peak:</div>

I must tell you, after this year I feel like I could be an official party planner. No joke. I'd been planning celebrations left and right, so when the Kindergarten Award Ceremony rolled around at the end of this past year, I was prepared. More than prepared, really - it was in my blood. Themes, decorations, gifts, and more were racing through my brain. Here's the rundown on our celebration!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all starts with the invitation! I sent home these little guys a few weeks before the special day. I attached it to a letter informing parents with everything they would need to know about that day. I had a cut-off portion on the form where families wrote whether they would be able to attend and how many guests they would be bringing.</div>

My adorable intern (read all about that experience <a href="http://keepinitkoolinkinderland.blogspot.com/2014/07/lets-talk-about-student-teachers.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>) helped me set up for the big day. It was a half-day and we started decorating around noon. We stayed at school until after 9:00 pm getting things prepared. It was a loooooooong day! The next morning, it was all ready for the special occasion!! Here's how it looked:<br />

The tiles were such a sweet idea. My bestie teacher friend, Amanda (the one who moved away sadly), came up with this idea the previous year and I loved it so much! She shared the idea and I was so excited to do it with my kids this year. It is like the easiest thing to do ever. All you need is tiles, mod podge, a picture of each kid, and a printer! One of the ladies on my team shared the tiles with us for free, she had them left over. I know you can get them for a reasonable price at Lowes or Home Depot too. I printed the pictures in black and white and put a bit of mod podge on the back. Center it in the middle of the tile and stick it on. Then just use a little sponge brush or paint brush and brush a thin coat of mod podge over the entire front of the tile! Amanda suggested using the mod podge that is safe for outdoors, definitely a good idea!</div>

We made memory shirts together and I set them up on each of their chairs so they would know where to sit. The pink and green papers under the chair were used during our song that we sang for their families. The song was a variation of Frozen's "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" and it was called "Do You Wanna Go To First Grade?" I made up the lyrics and we practiced singing it to the background music from the song. It was ridiculously precious!!<br />

In the front of the room I had my gift buckets that I love giving my kids each year! I fill them with summer-themed goodies, write their name on the front with puffy paint, and attach a cute little label!

I call the kids up one at a time to pass out their awards.<br />
<br />
After they have all received their award, I turn on the graduation song (you know, the one that goes "duuuuh, duuh, duuuh, duuuh, duuuuuuuh, duuuuuuh" - hopefully you can sing the tune to that hahaha) and they each come up to get their kindergarten diploma!<br />

This was one of the happiest and saddest days for me. I was ridiculously proud of them and how smart, kind, and awesome they are. I loved my kids so much and was seriously depressed that the year was over. We had been through A LOT together and were part of each other. I know that we are forever bonded and I cannot wait to see them again once the new year begins.<br />
<br />
What do you do with your little ones on graduation day!? I'd love to hear all about it!!<br />
<br />
I am off to finish up my office. I am so excited to see the finished product!!<br />

Hello darlings :)</div>

Super exciting news - I have just added 13 new fonts to my font pack! This brings the total number to 139 fonts total! Geez, that's more than I ever thought possible when I started making them. I just love making them so much! I am officially a font addict. Of all the things I could be addicted to, I'd have to say that's a pretty good one. Anywho, here's a peek at all the fonts included. The top set, 15, is the newest set!

In other super awesome, fun font news, I have just created a brand new product called "MAKE MY FONT".</div>

Now you can have YOUR handwriting made into your very own unique, personalized, high-quality font that you can use both personally AND commercially! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And guess who my first personalized font creation is for? Yup, <a href="http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Deanna Jump</a>! If you haven't heard of her (hahahahaha I'm joking, and do not intend to finish that sentence). You know that woman's handwriting is probably adorable :) I am currently working with her to create her own unique font. Can't wait to see how it turns out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the fun part! Because I love you all and am just so excited to be back blogging this summer, and feeling a bit font crazy lately, I am having a giveaway :) I will choose one lucky winner who will win my complete KB Fonts Pack, PLUS $15 to spend in my TPT Store! I will also choose one winner who will receive their very own personalized font! </div>

I'm so glad you came back today to reminisce with me! The other day we talked ALL about the bachelorette party of the year. Today I'm going to share with you my sister's radical bridal shower that I threw for her! A little side note, my sister and I loooooooove the 80s. It's a thing of ours. SO when it came to planning her bridal shower, I knew I had to make it unique and personalized just for her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it went down:</div>

<b>THE BOSLAND BRIDAL SHOWER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Location: Fort Myers, Florida</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Date: February 2014</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Theme: Flashback to the 80s</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome back to the 80s!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted a sign at the front of the building to help guests know where to find us! Did you know that you can make a powerpoint slide, save it as an image, and upload it to the Staples website to create posters and signs? I created the signs and posters below. Staples was having a 50% off sale at the time and I took full advantage.</div>

My favorite part of the whole shower was the party games!! The first game was a version of the traditional "christmas paper plate" game where you have to draw a christmas scene without looking given specific directions. Click <a href="http://happyhomefairy.com/2011/12/07/a-super-fun-christmas-game/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see the original christmas game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I switched it up and made a bridal shower version where they had to draw a wedding scene based on specific directions. It was HILARIOUS!!</div>

The second game I made was called "Making Faces". In paint, I took a picture of the groom and cropped out the center of his face so it was only the outline with no facial features. I cut up the original picture of the groom and put the facial features in a baggie. I then printed a bunch of photos of mens faces and cut those facial features and mixed them in the baggie. The object of the game was to find the correct facial features that belonged to the groom and create his face!</div>

The bride's favorite game was a version of The Newlywed Game. I asked the groom a series of questions before the shower. I printed the questions on one side of the paper and the grooms answers on the other side. At the shower I asked my sister to answer the questions how she felt her fiancee would have answered them. Then I flipped them over to see if they matched!</div>

The very last piece!! I created an 80s candy bar for guests to stop at on their way out, complete with pop rocks, rock candy, and those little candy lipsticks!! The party favors were ring pops in adorable clear and gold boxes. It was perfect because it was an 80s candy AND the ring theme went well with the whole wedding thing haha!</div>

And there you have it!! An 80s style bridal shower, done to the max! I found some of these fun 80s ideas from <a href="http://www.jatyourservice.com/?m=1" target="_blank">J. At Your Service</a>. Man was I exhausted when that was over. My sister could not have been happier though, and it made it MORE than worth it. My sister will only get married once and I figured this was my one shot at being her maid of honor, so I went hard.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
That is all for now chickies and dudes!</div>

Good morning to you!! Did you just wake up? Are you sipping your coffee or tea? (I'm drinking my black tea - delish) Is the morning news on in the background like it is for me?! Look at us, waking up together :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been sharing my RIDICULOUS 2014 year with you over the past few days. Let's review what I have shared already that has happened in the last 7 months: 1) I was a finalist for the Golden Apple and went through an incredible and exhausting adventure 2) I had an intern for the very first time during this entire process 3) My very best friend and rock decided to move away. These are some big things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I will share with you the other huge thing that took up a great deal of my time - my big sister's wedding! I, of course, was the maid of honor and with that duty comes a great deal of responsibility. For people who are normal and not crazy in the head like I am, these duties would be manageable without causing an aneurism. For me, however, it was an enormous task. One that I did not take lightly. One that took over my life for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, there was the bachelorette party and <i>then</i> there was the bridal shower. Jeepers freakin' creepers. I created EVERY single thing for each event. Evvvvvvvverything. It was personalized to the extreme. Let me tell you though, all of the hours and days that I spent making these events perfect paid off. Everything was beautiful and fun and most importantly, my sister was beyond happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'll share the bachelorette party with you! Here's a little picture show of the big event!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I went with gold, pink, and black as the main colors. I made sure to keep everything super classy and not tacky at all!</div>

I set up an awesome little drink station where we would all gather to get our drink on!!</div>

I created the "Bachelorette Party Rules" and printed them on cardstock. I found the gold frame at <a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank">Marshalls</a>. I also made the "Drink If..." game and laminated it. The "Bachelorette Booze" is a bottle of tequila. I spray painted it with chalkboard paint and wrote on it with chalk markers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite parts was the "swag bags" that I made! I bought these adorable canvas bags on Etsy from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DreamState" target="_blank">DreamState</a>. My sister's bag said "Bride to Be", my mom's bag said "Mother of the Bride", the rest of the bags said "Time to drink champagne and dance on the tables". I filled the bags with TONS of goodies. I also made each of the party girls their own little hangover kit :)</div>

But I think I am ready. Many times before, I have mentioned my BEST friend in the entire world, Amanda. She was with me from day 1 of my teaching career, the first teacher friend I ever had. We were fast friends and had a bond like no other. We thought alike, enjoyed the same things, loved being creative together, always thought ahead, massive over achievers. So it was no surprise that we became best friends at school and in our personal lives. I could never imagine teaching without her by my side. At school we were a pair, rarely seen or talked about without the other close behind. I have never had a true best friend like I have in my Byrnesy.<br />
<br />
One day, one sad day, Byrnesy was hanging around in my room a little longer than usual. We were constantly staying late together so it wasn't that strange, but she seemed a bit off and kept shuffling her papers. I could tell something was going on. She said she needed to talk to me. Instantly, I thought the worst and I knew what was coming. I tried to shove my panic back down my throat, but I could barely contain myself. I told her that if she said what I thought she was going to say, that I would punch her. (thinking back that seems a bit harsh - hahaha) We walked outside together and sat at a picnic table behind the school. The same table that we had sat at many times before, staring at the tree we once attempted to climb after hours just for fun (while I was wearing heels). And then she told me.<br />
<br />
She. was. moving. away. Moving. Leaving. Leaving me. Leaving her life. Leaving me. Leaving our school. Leaving me. Leaving our world that we had built together. But mostly, leaving me. And she was leaving in less than a month. I felt like my heart had been ripped out. It was a pain I hadn't felt, ever. She was my rock and my comfort. She was the only person who got my silly quirks and weirdness and matched them with her own set of oddities. Over the next few weeks, the last few weeks of school, I was an emotional wreck. Every special moment and end-of-the-year tradition that we did together was overshadowed by the feeling of sadness that *this* would be the last time.<br />
<br />
Now it may seem like I was overreacting, or a bit over emotional, but truly, we did mostly everything together throughout the day. I relied on her friendship and support. It's like we were married.<br />
<br />
Finally, it was her last day here. We shared one more tradition together, breakfast at Bob Evans (where we would typically go together during the summer after pulling all-nighters planning for the next school year). We hugged and cried in the parking lot and said goodbye. Ugh. It was awful.<br />
<br />
Now she is gone. And we will always have each other. I keep telling myself that. I don't think it will really, really, really hit me that we won't be together next year until the year begins and I feel the loss all over again. But she is happy, she is with her family, and she is where she feels she needs to be. AND she got a job teaching kindergarten, which is where she belongs because she is amazing at it.<br />
<br />
To sum it all up: this school year was chock full of ups and downs. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It was a year that I will never forget, that is for sure. AND JUST WAIT! Tomorrow I will share with you one other massive thing that happened this year. Whew - it's a doozy.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my sob story :( I am so anxious about this coming school year without my partner in crime. Here's hoping that I find a new groove and routine all on my own.<br />

Giveaway!<div style="text-align: center;">
Ladies and gentlemen, I have come here today to admit that I have a problem. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step to moving forward. Ready for it? I, Khrys Bosland, am a total control freak. Seriously, I have issues. If they locked people in tiny padded rooms for being OCD Type A perfectionists who cannot give up control for even a moment, then MAN I would have been thrown in that hole years ago. I overanalyze every situation and focus on the most minuscule details possible. Everything. Must. Be. Perfect. Sweet jesus. Now you are all picturing me rocking back and forth in a straight jacked with my hair all whacked out and my eyes all twitchy. Let me be clear, I am not a crazy. Ok, maybe a little, but who isn't?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of this being said, you can see my hesitation when it comes to having an intern or student teacher. I ALWAYS said to myself, there is no way on this great green Earth that I would ever be able to relinquish control long enough to assist a new teacher in their journey. Especially when my pay depends on how well my students score on the end of the year test (let's not even <i>think</i> about opening that can of worms right now). Talk about stress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am here to tell you that YES pigs can fly, and hell has frozen over, and the bright sun has risen in the west, and yes, even the cows have come home because this year, I had an intern! Hooray! And I am a much better teacher because of it :) I gave up control and it almost pains me to admit this out loud, so I think I will whisper it, **I actually ENJOYED it** GASP! SHOCK! {somebody just passed out} Yes my lovely ones, I enjoyed it. It was amazing. And I'm not sure I will ever do it again. HA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's talk about student teachers. More specifically, let's talk about MY student teacher. She was an angel sent from heaven, a true little treasure in this world. And she looked like a supermodel.</div>

Is she not adorable?! Let me tell you, the moment we began working together, I knew that it would be a perfect fit. She actually understood my OCD and she thought just like me! She could literally tell me exactly what I was going to say. Plus she was super creative, organized, and helpful and a total go-getter. I wanted to start her off on the right track so on her very first day, I gave her a little gift basket full of fun goodies from Target! I added treats and office supplies, a planner, and a picture frame that she could put on her desk in our room!</div>

After that first day, we were linked. She was an awesome teacher to begin with, which was super helpful. As I watched her teach and helped her grow, I was amazed at how great she was doing. I felt excited about her future and all of the incredible things that she was destined for.</div>

When it was finally time for my intern to leave us, I literally cried and cried. I was so sad to see her go. After spending months together, relying on each other constantly, it was sad (and truly a bit scary) to see her go. I found myself thinking, how do I do this on my own?! There is nothing like having a second person in the room when you teach kindergarten. How often I would say "can you grab that..." or "can you run her to the..." or "where is that.." So on that last day, I did it up Bosland style!</div>

Did you know that Publix can make picture cakes?! I created a powerpoint slide and added all the pictures and graphics. Then printed it out and brought the page to Publix. They make an editable version and print it right on the cake. It was about $50, which is a bit steep, but the end result was definitely worth it in my opinion. Super cool right?!</div>

I HAD to include the Frozen soundtrack in her bucket. We must have listened to it every single day during snack time for like weeks. The kids were completely obsessed and honestly, so were we in the end. I'm not gonna lie, we may have had a Frozen sing-off one day after the kids left. Just sayin' - it's catchy.</div>

The kids did NOT want to see her go, and neither did I. It was so sad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

In the end, the kids had an amazing year with two fun teachers in the room! I had an amazing year with the help of my awesome intern. And Ms. Chase had an amazing year learning and growing with our crazy little kinder-krew!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I survived my very first experience with a student teacher and I loved it! Hooray! I'm not sure if I will be having another intern any time soon. I think I want to take a year off and be on my own. This year has been totally bonkers and I'm ready for a normal, relaxed year. But I'll never say never, so who knows!</div>

Plus a GIVEAWAY FOR YOU!Oh. my. goodness. It's me :) Little old me! You probably thought I had disappeared. Maybe stolen by a group of pirates and out sailing the seas? Perhaps kidnapped by the Elf on the Shelf, seeing as I haven't blogged since December? Possibly took a trip to the Grand Canyon and stepped a wee bit too close to the edge? Well I am here to put all your never ending concerns to rest. Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive, still a happy kindergarten teacher, and still hanging around in the Fort (Fort Myers, that is).<br />
<br />
How are you my kind, lovely followers? I have missed you so!<br />
<br />
I do apologize for the massive gap in postings. To say that 2014 has been a freakin' whirlwind would be the understatement of the century. I literally do not even know where to start. Let's take a little mind-trip back to January so I can update you on what in the high heavens I have been doing for the past 7 months. (Holy crow - 7 months??? Is it seriously July?? Jeepers. Ok, I will not sidetrack myself, but wow.)<br />
<br />
****Close your eyes and take my hand, picture a swirling tunnel in your mind, listen to the swooshing sound as we travel back in time together to a chilly winter day in January 2014****<br />
<br />
Now that I've set the mood, let's begin! I am going to tell you the unexpected story of my journey as a teacher this year.<br />
<br />
I returned back to work from a long, relaxing, beautiful holiday with my family. As always, I was a bit sad that the break was over, but thrilled to be back with the tiny ones. We jumped right back in and got into the groove. It was not even a week that we had been back when one morning, bright and early, our classroom door opened. First to walk in was my principal, followed up our amazing and beautiful secretary, and finally a mystery woman who I'd never met before. She smiles to the kids and my principal announces to my bubbling bitties that they have some news for their teacher. I am all nerves and smiling like, "You do?? What's going on??? Please tell me this is something positive, what could possibly be going on??" and finally they told us that I was one of the 30 finalists selected out of the thousands of entries to be a Golden Apple Teacher for my school district. UM SERIOUSLY?!? Guess what I did, I cried. I was so honored and excited and proud. I could not believe that I was 1 of 30 out of thousands of incredible teachers! They handed me an envelope and inside was a 2 page list of directions as to what would come next. And thus began my Golden Apple journey :)<br />
<br />
In the end, 6 of the 30 finalists would be chosen as the Golden Apple Teachers.<br />
<br />
Over the next few months, I was to be RANDOMLY observed by 13 RANDOM judges from the community. Did I mention that these observations were completely random?? Yes, I thought so. The first few observations were terrifying. I was a jumbled mess of nerves. When they came in, all I could do was teach. I literally just kept going and chugging through, trying my very hardest to pretend that no one was staring at me, analyzing my every move and word, writing down notes about me and my teaching and my classroom, scoring and rating me as an effective teacher, as well as comparing me to 29 other finalists who I can only imagine were incredible, outstanding educators. EEK! Stressed out is not even close to how I felt. As the observations went on, it did become easier. I felt more at ease and it got to the point where just about anyone could walk into the room and the kids and I would just be like "Hey, what's up, take a seat." Did I mention that my kid's were so AMAZING and incredibly adorable through the entire process??? They were totally pumped that I was a finalist and told me they were so proud like every single day. I love them. Love love love them with my whole heart and soul. Truly.<br />
<br />
SO after all of the observations were completed for ALL 30 finalists, they had a swanky little meet and greet where all the finalists got to meet each other. This was the final step before they would announce the winners. My principal went with me. Did I mention that I adore my principal? There are not enough words to tell how amazing she is. Here we are together at the shindig (I'm the one in all black):<br />

<br />
The next week was when the real stress began. We were told that they would announce the winning 6 teachers at some point that week and that they would just show up. So of course I picked out 5 of my best outfits and prepared to look cute every day just in case :) Monday rolled around, I was all nerves, and nothing happened. I looked online and they hadn't announced any winners anywhere, so I figured it wasn't the day. Then Tuesday passed by, Wednesday next, Thursday crawled by and I begin thinking "ooooooooook PLEASE just tell us already!!!!" and finally it was FRIDAY. The last day. I thought I was going to puke every second of the day. I was nauseous and sweaty and a straight up mess.<br />
<br />
Around 11am or so, one of my sweet friends poked her head around the corner and said "They've started handing out the apples! They gave out two already!!" They had a live twitter feed that announced each winner as they were chosen. Of course I'm like, "I won't look at that at all, I'll just ignore it and teach and pay no attention to that." How long did that last? Like a nanosecond. I checked that thing like every second. Clicked "refresh, refresh, refresh" like 400 times. Lunch time rolls around and 4 apples have been passed out, only two more to go. Oh no, it's getting to the end now.<br />
<br />
Of course I was BEYOND proud and honored to have even been nominated. But we all know that everyone wants to win. It is engrained in us as humans, no matter how much you tell yourself that you are already a winner, you still want to win. I would be lying if I said that I didn't want it.<br />
<br />
And I WAS proud to even be a finalist and it felt like wishful thinking to imagine receiving the award. As the minutes and hours ticked by, and I had less than an hour until the end of my school day, and they had announced 5 of the 6 winners, I broke the news to myself that I would not be winning this year and that I would try again next year. I was sad, but ok with it. And then - it happened. I had no idea it was coming and it happened. I was chosen as one of the 6 Golden Apples. Shock, honor, joy, and millions of other feelings surged through me and I just began to cry. <a href="http://www.news-press.com/videos/news/education/2014/03/27/6948777/" target="_blank">Click for the VIDEO!</a><br />

After that moment, the tornado that is my life began to spin again. There were photos, interviews, news crews, and more over the next few weeks. I felt like a superstar!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After reading the letter and seeing all of the wonderful things Santa sent us, we read the Elf on the Shelf book. Many of the kids hadn't heard of Elf on the Shelf before, which surprised me! After the story it was time to name our Elf. We made a graph on the SmartBoard. We started by having each child choose a name. We wrote those on the board and then narrowed them down to 4 choices through a vote. The final 4 choices were: Zippy, Snowy, Elfy, and Snowflake. After the long voting process, we finally chose "Snowflake"! There was a bit of conflict about it because he is a boy and Snowflake is a girl name apparently, but in the end we decided that it doesn't matter because Snowflakes can be boys or girls. I realize this doesn't make sense, but I was using 5 year old logic here and it worked for them :)</div>

The next day, the kids came in to find Snowflake dangling from our document camera. He brought some special treats with him as well! He brought us the Elf on the Shelf movie - "An Elf's Story", cookies from the North Pole Bakery, milk, and a note. </div>

At the end of the day, we filled out our Elf Adventure Log. Each day the kids write about where they found Snowflake and draw a little picture. They did a pretty amazing job!

On Friday, Snowflake left us with quite a mess. He toilet papered the Christmas tree! YIKES! The kids were laughing ridiculously hard at this. I even had kids from other classes peeking in.</div>

Sitting on his throne of destruction was Snowflake, with his sneaky smile.</div>
