Five For Friday

Whew!! It is FINALLY Friday!! This week has been loooong and exhausting! I am ready to move on! Let's do this!!!

I linked up with Doodle Bug! Check it out for more great posts about FRIDAY!! 

 The number 1 thing about this week is that I survived it.... Seriously! As many of you know I had the unfortunate opportunity to participate in the Family Program at a Treatment Center where my amazing brother is. I thought it was going to kill me! My emotions were the highest they have ever been and I was exhausted beyond belief. With that said... I would not change having the experience (minus the brother needing that help). We learned so many valuable things about addiction, letting go (Do you hear Frozen in the background? Because I did. Every.Single.Time. it was said!), and recovering ourselves! 

If you know someone who is in a program or just struggling with addiction just remember: you didn't cause it, you cant change it and you can't cure it... so take care of your self so you can support them when they jump off the roller coaster! 

More to come on how I plan on taking some of these thoughts and ideas and bringing them into my classroom!

And moving onto to something more light-hearted!! I have been in catch up mode since I got home... and I noticed this AWESOME thing last night...

SERIOUSLY?! My little store is growing faster then I can keep up with and I LOVE it!! You guys rock!! If you follow me on Facebook you already know that I love celebrating these milestones!! This is no different!! Bring on the 500!! Lets PARTY... like teachers do... With FREE teaching resources!! 7 More to go!

School starts in a couple of weeks for me! I go back next week and the kiddos come after Labor Day! I can't believe it! This summer just flew by! I feel like they all do, but this one especially! It's nuts! I finally got together with my team yesterday and we got our caseloads figured out! (which is surprising because I brought my munchkin with since I just got home, and he screamed the ENTIRE time we were trying to do it). Now that I have the kiddos and their needs I can start planning and scouring my TpT items for relevant resources! While looking through past downloads I found this awesome resource, and I am totally going to use it this year! 

I can picture it now... "Mrs. Nystrom's Playlist"! 

With a busy week doing other things, I have some things to finish up and post! This is one of them!

This was a request that I found on TpT (yes! people do post requests... and yes! sellers do snap them up!) and I am so grateful she choose me to create it for her because I LOVE it!! =) I am excited to get it finished and posted! If there is something that you would like to see in it (that goes with Daily 5) leave it in the comments and I will try and get it in **annnnd.... I will randomly select a comment to win a copy!!**

Another picture of my Sunshine! I love this kid to the moon and back and back again!

I hope you all have a great Friday and rest of the weekend!!!

Sneak Peek!

Hey Guys!

So I know it has been a little bit since I have written a blog post. Life has dealt my family and I a huge batch of lemons. My mind has been elsewhere the last couple of weeks, which has made it very tough to focus on much of anything. There has not been much sugar around to make lemonade and the rum is pretty much gone... Juuuust Kidding. But seriously! =D 

I am going to leave it at this... a family member made some choices that were not so good. As this story has been unfolding, several other gut-punching ones have emerged. I plan on posting as much as I can, as the year starts, but please forgive me if there are lapses. 

And moving on...

Here is the sugar in my life right now! 

Seriously... this kid is growing TOO fast!! 

In other news... I have been working in my classroom for several days this week. Oh.My.Goodness. It is was a disaster! Minnesota has added all day Kindergarten! Yay! But that also means that more classrooms need to be added.... which means that classrooms have to be moved to keep grade levels together... which equaled a HUGE pain!

Picture boxes and furniture strewn throughout the room! I have been working on getting everything separated (I have a room buddy this year!), the furniture organized and my things unpacked in a way that makes sense...at least to me! HA! 

Here is a sneak peek at some of the things in my classroom this year! There will be more! =)

My Desk!

Still a loooong way to go!

Writing Stones are ready to go!!

Updated Teachers Toolkit!

Right outside of our Sensory Corner!
Those are their choices during times of escalation!

Word Work Task Cards are ready to go! 

I am hoping this help keep all my paperwork organized!

Oh... I posted this picture on my Facebook Page today! No one guessed right!! Any Thoughts?!? What I am using DVD cases for this year?!

If you stuck around this long... you are in luck!!! Enter the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win my Writing Stone activity!!  If you bought it during the sale... still throw your name in! =D
