29 + 6 more= chaos

My perfectly spaced room has now gained six more desks. SIX. Six more students to add next year. Do I even have that many spaces in my grade book?? It is going to be crazy having 35 students. I'm not even sure how I'm going to incorporate the desks into my room, let alone 6 extra students. That's like a whole new row...they're going to be so far away :(

Okay. Everything will be fine. Just freaking out.

Check back soon to make sure I'm still alive.

Pinterest A.K.A. Internet Crack

It started with a "Hey! Check out this new site," and it ended with me staring with bloodshot eyes at the computer screen until midnight. This website is like a drug for teachers, moms, athletes, fashionistas, and well...everyone else. Even my hubby is addicted to pinning.

I will say that I have gotten about 100 new ideas for next year already. It's amazing. It has everything. I'm not joking... there are resources for math, literature, science, classroom management, organization, social studies projects, classroom set ups, and lots of free stuff (and who doesn't love that?).

So, are you on the pinterest bandwagon yet?
