EmmaKate's First Birthday Party: Southern Style

I know this is my teaching blog, but I just have to share this adorable birthday party theme I've put together for my baby girls first birthday. It's not generic, it's one of a kind and I'm thrilled to share my ideas! This is a southern style theme that incorporates burlap, gold glitter, and a light coral. I'm super excited about this! I bought everything at Michaels and a few TJ Max finds. I was so excited when I started putting this together that I got a little out of control and it got a little expensive. Of course, I saved some money for this little project. I've included a list of items I purchased at Michaels and TJ Max.

I covered the canvas letter "E" in burlap. This could also be spray painted with glitter paint. I cut the glitter hearts, flags and glitter letters out with my cricut. I found a package of burlap flowers and used them as confetti. My favorite items are the milk jugs with the straws. I just love this! The basket for holding cards was a Ross find I do believe. The scalloped pieces are going to have her pictures for each month of her one year that will be cut and taped to them. I purchased the burlap banner in a pack and put the letters on it. this set up was so much fun! I plan to add some light mint colors as well!! If you would like help crafting up this party, just message me!

Summer has finally arrived for this gal and I am just so thrilled to be home with my babies. Gaining the freedom to do exactly what I want when I want makes teaching all the more worth it all.

I hope everyone has plenty of plans for their summer! I've added some free binder spines to my shop and I hope y'all will enjoy!

HUGE FREEBIE!!!!

Life is so crazy right now. I am truly missing fourth grade and don't really know how I'm going to be able to finish out the rest of this year in prek. Don't get me wrong, I am so thankful for my job and being given the opportunity to be closer to home, but this is not the grade for me. I'm sure someone else out there is feeling the same way! I have all this knowledge of the Common Core and how to use it in so many ways, yet I feel that my brain power is being wasted. Please forgive me all you prek teachers out there. I'm not trying to offend any one at all! Let me just tip my hat to all of you out there because I have no idea how in the world you all do it. You have so much patience and more marbles than I have. On top of that, there is no way in this world I can have this grade and have my very own house full of toddlers, which is what is happening to me now! There are no breaks for this teacher-mom. I am truly meant to be a teacher of ten year olds and I can't wait to be given the opportunity, hopefully soon, to fill those shoes.

So, now that I have vented, I have this great idea and I'm going crazy with it!!! I have the fourth grade product up and ready so feel free to check it out by clicking here!!! I've loaded the ELA packet for kindergarten for FREE!!! I really hope this ends up being used in your classroom!! Enjoy and feel free to leave me some positive feedback! I really appreciate it!

Free Valentine Card
