First Days of School Books...

Here are some of the books I have decided on for the first days of school!

My first true project in my classroom!

I have decided that I will be doing the Daily 5 in my classroom this year. If you are also interested in doing this in your classroom you can find the Daily 5 Guide for Dummies here. I have decided that I am going to print out this guide and get it bound. This is a really good guide because it helps you implement this program into your classroom day by day.

My true reason for this post is to show you my first major project in my classroom:

I am going to use these numbered book holders for the daily 5 where my students will keep the things they are working on. Students will be assigned a classroom number based on alphabetical order which will determine which book holder is theirs. To snag yourself some of these numbered labels you can go here!

Welcome to my blog! *FREEBIE ALERT*

Thank you for stopping by! Let me take some time to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Dahl and I will be starting my very first teaching job this fall (1st grade). Having graduated in April, I am thrilled to already have a classroom of my own! I currently reside in a small town in Idaho with my husband who is currently finishing up his degree. We have been married for 3 years now and have loved every minute of it. Our hobbies include mountain biking, watching movies, and hanging out with family and friends!

The first day of school is in 5 weeks from tomorrow! I haven't been able to get into my classroom this month because of maintenance, but when August 1st hits, I will be hitting the ground running!  I have decided that I will be doing an owl theme in my classroom and have done a lot of thinking and searching for the best decorations for the lowest prices. I will post some of these gems later!

A while back when I got offered the job, I tweaked a document that I found on TPT to make it more "me". If you would like to download it for FREE, click here. Go for it...it's OWL themed!
