Ch, Ch, Changes and 100th Day

I was hoping things would have calmed down this past week, but, ummm....no.
100th Day Wednesday, late arrival on Friday (for ice that never showed)
and on top of all that I'm redoing my bedroom!  Oh, and I got a new camera!
First off, here are some things we did for 100th Day!

I just ran out of time, plain and simple...and although I have a freebie for 100th Day that I typically use with my firsties, this year I wanted to do something different.  I tried AND LOVED Mel's (from Seusstastic Classroom Inspirations) freebies found here.  Check out a couple from my class:
 Love the walker, right?! (new camera shot above)
and below....ribs!? (old camera shot below...can you tell a difference?)
 We were on a budget this year, and so I quickly cut out strips and circles and created these headbands, I thought it would take a long time, but it seriously was QUICK and EASY! (and cheap!)


Before anyone comments, I had 4 absent...which puts me at 17!

And now some pics with my new Canon T3i Camera...complete with 50mm lens.
Pictures of my bedroom, still need accent pillows for bed....but I was so proud that I didn't buy the $270 lamps from Pottery Barn that I wanted, but instead found and paired two great buys from Target!


 Curtains from Pottery Barn

Quilt from Pottery Barn

And I also got new CHEVRON chairs for my Mac and my husband's PC workspace...  (from Target)

And with my new camera..random shots of a very messy, end of day classroom...


 And...my Maggie

  13. Love the pictures by the way! And, I am so glad you're posting about getting a new camera. How do you like it? I've been thinking about ordering one, but I keep putting it off. What all did you get with yours? What would you recommend?

  18. So glad you like the groundhogs! I have a small class too! Last week I had 4 missing and it was eerily quiet. But definitely pleasant!

    Love those hats. =)
