Five for Friday on Saturday, AGAIN!

O-Va!  Naturally, I'm late for Five for Friday, but today I have a good excuse.  I had to work.  On Saturday.  In June.  Officially.  For a teacher workday.

Honestly, I'd have been there anyway, because I'm changing rooms, to the little one next door.  Back it up, though, and let's go with my five:

We had our last day with students on Thursday, ending with this photo of my grown up babies...SO cute!!!

After school, one of my sweeties hosted a pool party for the class.  Another had given me the cutest bowl of goodies, including this coconut cup and lei - perfect for the party!

After the kiddos left, my room looked like this.  I knew I had to get everything packed up and moved next door, and was WAY overwhelmed!  Our Super-Fab PTO had just given out checks to our teachers, equal to 10% of our Boosterthon collections I wrote about here, so I decided to use mine to hire a professional organizer to help me get it together!

On Friday, it was just us teachers, and on the way to work, I thought, "Those are some coffee-lovin' women I teach with, but I have no idea what kind they like," so I went through the Dunkin' Donuts drive through and bought them each a gift card.  With this being a last-minute idea, I had no wrapping, so I asked for coffee cups to go with the cards, ran in my room and found some orange and pink tissue, and made a little card, sans computer, as you can see.  Still, I thought they turned out pretty cute.  Now I have a cutesy card in case you need a last minute gift, too. Just click on the picture for the free tag!

 

Even with Miss Kelly's help, I still left Friday with a room like this...YIKES!  But, I have a plan, and she's coming back, and my sweet daughters and wonderful husband came today and helped me finish moving, packing, and putting every. single. thing. away.  So, stay tuned for my newest theme...I'm still thinkin', but our school theme is "We're PAWS-itively WILD about Learning".  Circus?  Jungle?  Forest?  Maybe some weird combination of all three?  This creative, party-plannin', decoratin' teacher WILL come up with something fabulous!

Now, I'm off to SUM-MAH!!!
