Switching rooms and grades at the last moment (I only had a few days to move everything to first grade) has totally bogged me down!
Long story short (and posts to come):
-I'm an owner of a new erin condren lesson planner
-I'm an owner of a new cameo silhouette!!
-My kiddos for the most part are my students from last year
-We are now entering the 3rd week of school!
*SIGH* am I always this tired at the beginning of the school year? and why is the sun not staying awake as long as I'd like it to?!
I'm excited to be linking up with Farley at Oh' Boy It's Fourth Grade for my very first currently!!
BTW I'm hurting on feedback on my freebies! Is that normal? I have thousands of downloads on each, yet some of the #'s of feedback don't even make it to double digits! I'd love to hear what you think and I know you all are amazing. Can you help me out? Be honest :) FREEBIES!

I love the video Jessica!! Your classroom came out fantastic, as I knew it would!! It's been hard for me to keep up with blogging too lately with the craziness that comes with the beginning of a school year. Congrats on your new cameo...I'm a teeny bit jealous!! ;)

Learning Is Something to Treasure
Cute video montage. Love it :) I guess I missed somehow that you were moved at the last minute. Hope you are doing OK and everything is returning to "normal".

Not gonna lie I didn't even know about rating freebies. I didn't even know how to rate a product. I had to do some research on that. I will be sure to go back and do so.

Congrats on your new acquisitions. Jessica I am with you on feedback for freebies. I haven't even got in to double digits on a couple of mine. I am a relatively new seller on TpT and I was a little disappointed. I know we can't MAKE people leave feedback ....but wouldn't it be good if we could! Especially when the downloads run into the hundreds.

You're room looks great Jessica!!! I'm super jealous of your awesome windows you can open! I remember my elementary school (the oldest one in Ohio) used to open like that, but they ended up buildling 2 new schools since I left and now use it as a central office building. ;) You did a great job!
I love your blog! It is very helpful!

Flying Into First Grade
You room looks fantastic! I moved from 1st to K last year so I understand the stress that comes with change :) I had two questions. How does the long snake like tables work for kids working? It is just a few kinney tables connected together? It looks like a great idea! Where are your seats from? (the round one that look like a small bean bag) I heard about "aleternative seating" and am curious if it is beneficial :)
Thanks and hope you enjoy the 4 day week!

Changing rooms and year levels at the last minute! How did that happen! Had school started when it happened? Congrats on getting your room altogether!
I always give feedback on everything i download - paid or unpaid. I hope others will also give me feedback so I make a point...... It hasn't worked so well for me yet! I'll head over to your store and I'm sure I'll find something fantastic to download!

I love my cameo! I have been able to make so many great things for my classroom and I love not having to cut out letters for bulletin boards anymore.

I found my way here through a comment you left on my TPT thread. I love your blog and checked out your store. I also downloaded and left feedback on your bookmark freebie. Love it! Thanks so much! Following you now. :)

Your room came out great! Doesn't even look like the same room, but it sure is ready for the kids! I hope your year is going well! :)

The video is great! You were working hard, girl!
You will have to keep us updated on your Erin Condren planner. I am the proud owner of a Life Planner and I love it. Wondering that the lesson planner is like.

I do, We Do, You Do!
I loved how your room came out. Super nice. I love those curved tables.
The Paper Maid
Your room really came out great! I love the way you set up your tables. I looped up with many of my kiddos from K to 1st a few years ago-I love that you pretty much know them from the beginning. Good luck with the new grade level. :)

I actually struggle to get ANY feedback, which surprises me. And don't worry about being MIA...I think there are a lot of bloggers who've been trying to readjust to the beginning of the year!
I started a new teacher blog (instead of The Dalton Gang) and am trying to rebuild my following. Please find me over there! I know my product swap stuff was under The Dalton Gang as well, but I'll just talk to whoever has my info and we can fix it.
Don't Let The Teacher Stay Up Late
Thanks for the comment on Teachers Pay Teachers! I'm excited to learn from awesome teachers like you. You have a great site. :) I'm a new follower on both TPT and here.
Yay for first grade! I hope you are enjoying your kiddos once again. That's so fun to have them once again. I'm sure you're going to love it! I can't wait to see what you're up to. :)

Second Grade Sparkle
Your room looks AMAZING with or without being "new"! :0) I think lacking on feedback in normal, I have one item that has been downloaded almost 9,000 times, pinned 1k+ times, and only has 17 ratings. Sadly, people just don't think to comment on stuff that is "free." Now that you teach first grade I will definitly need to look over your freebies and see what you have! :)

You are so talented! Your video was great! I am a new blogger, & love to read your blog! I am a bit of a perfectionist & a believer as well!
