Extreme Make Over Classroom Edition {NEW STUFF!}

It is my first day of Summer vacation TODAY!! My report cards are done. My room is packed up. Woo Hoo!! I love Summer! I also received my Really Good Stuff yesterday too! I LOVE IT!! I will be starting Daily 5 next year. So, I will be hit the ground running with my new STUFF!! I LOVE STUFF! lol!

This is what I bought!!

I will use these for their book boxes, "Read To Self."  They will fit in their cubbies. I am sorry I can take pictures of where they will be just yet since my whole room is shoved in there! :-) 
I bought these for "Listen To Reading." I will hang some hooks on the wall and this will be more of a take and listen. I will put individual cd players in each one.
Here are my new library book baskets! I need to buy some shelves for these! Any ideas? I love the label holders that it comes with, but not crazy about the labels. Sooooo, I am working on labels that will fit the holders!! Much cuter!!
Ok, here are my thoughts on these...I want to use these for "Work On Writing." They can keep all of their writing materials in here. I will make each student a writing folder! 
This is what I will store word work activities in! I have a wall of cubbies (don't hate me lol) that are 12 across and 4 down. These fit in them perfectly!!
I also bought matching pencil/marker baskets :-) 


Here are my new table baskets. I have had desks...which I have loved, but think that I am ready switch back to tables. I hope I can find neon seat sacks! :-)
Well, that's all of my purchases for now!! :-) I have a FREEBIE for you! I made a new "WELCOME" sign for my classroom.You can click on the title page to get your FREE banner!
I have already shared this with a few friends. One of my good bloggin' buddies, Caitlin over at Kindergarten Smiles already made hers!! :-) She was so sweet to send me a picture! She cute out each pennant and backed it with black cardstock, laminated it, hole punched the corners, and tied to together with super cute ribbon!
 She always has cute ideas and lots of pictures! If you don't follow her already, then head on over....tell her I sent you :-)

Cha ching! I just got a Really Good Stuff Catalog in the mail!
Love all the STUFF! You will enjoy Daily 5.
You might want to try Raz-kids.com for some listening to reading. You can set your children up on their individual reading levels.

I just bought the exact same book boxes from Really Good Stuff! My firstiest love them and they are working much better than the IKEA ones I previously had used.
I'm transitioning to Kinder next year and am excited to read more about how Daily 5 is working with others in Kinder. When in the year do you start D5?

Love it! Would love something like this for my room. I only have 11 kiddos, 9 to start off next year, but don't think my classroom budget could afford all this :-(
