So here is the on-going list of to do's. I'm hoping if I post them it might light a fire underneath me to get moving on some projects.

Great list...gave me some ideas of things I had forgotten!! lol I am interested in your pinterest ideas for your door decor and early finisher jar! Do you have a link on your page where we can follow you on pinterest? Thanks so much!!
Becky! Thanks for the great suggestion. I added a pinterest link and also updated the list so you can click on the projects straight from there. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Kate! Just came across your blog and was impressed. I am also incorporating the 7 Habits in my classroom, so I enjoyed reading your post on that. Saw the "word wall" topic on your to-do list and thought this might be helpful to you. I just posted a Word Wall Unit with everything you need to set one up. Just click on our blog link. I teach first grade too, so it should work for you if you're interested! Simply SWEET TEAching.
