Books & To Do List

Last week I bought....more books! Am I ever going to learn that I.don't.have.any.more.room. on my bookshelves?  I've been searching for the deals everyone is getting in the Target dollar spots.  Finally, I found a Target with most of it!  Almost all of these books came from the Target dollar spot.

I picked this bucket up at the Dollar Tree.  Check back Monday for Monday Made It to see what I did with it!

And finally, I found the dry erase pockets EVERYONE is talking about! 
I am also linking up with Lorainne at Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies for the To Do linky party!  I have really needed to make a to-do list so I am glad this motivated me to do so.  It's for sure a work in progress and I'm sure more will get added.
1.  Dust classroom easel
2.  Sort box of inside recess games & put in bottom of easel
3.  Unpack last box of materials
4.  Organize and sort new books
5.  New bookshelf?
6.  Check all computers
7.  Find a place for my radio, writing prompts, and treat bucket
8.  Finish re-do of stool
9.  Make multiple nametags with student names
10. Get white folders for students and label
11. Write names on nametags
12. Make graded papers folders for students
13. Put nametags on desks and in cubbies
14. Organize my new area (going desk-less this year!)
15. Make labels for FMJ's and other journals
16. Write birthdays on birthday poster
17. Make Welcome to 4th Grade brochure
18. Buy snacks and bags for first day gift
19. Put up class helpers and ambassador nametags
20. Decide introductory activity
21. Make class schedule

23. Mail postcards?
24. Copy small group plan outline
25. Re-do "I'm Done. What do I do?" poster

Oh mercy!  Time to get started on this to-do list!

  3. Hi Lana!
    Thanks for linking up to my linky party! I started it thinking that writing a to do list will motivate me to start preparing but it just put me in panic mode. LOL! Can't wait to see what you are making with the bucket!

  5. Wow, your list is like the final stages of getting ready! Good for you. I haven't even been in my classroom yet. I'm sure it is a total wreck with furniture everywhere. Oh boy! And just remember... you can NEVER have too many books no matter what! :)

  6. Love your blog. I'm a first year teacher so I feel like I have a ton to do even things I don't KNOW to do.
