I finished school at the end of May, but had to go back yesterday to take EVERYTHING out of the library to get ready for a summertime makeover! It took 6 1/2 hours to move every book out and into our Music room, which is half the school away from the library. We will be getting sheetrock placed over the brown paneling, new carpet and a wall of built-in bookcases. I'm so excited to go back and see what it looks like when it's finished.

Our library at the beginning of the year...

We are so thankful that we have bookcases and don't have to look for books like this! ;)



Will your library be going through any big changes over the summer?

Guess who has to wake up by alarm tomorrow for the first time this week? That's me! ;)

We ended up having four snow days off from school. For new readers, I live in a rural area and actually live on a gravel road and they don't typically get plowed until everything else is somewhat clear. The buses are only driving snow routes, but I am excited for the students to get to go back tomorrow to have their Christmas concerts the next two days. My kiddos and I are fine staying home forever, but I know a lot of my parent friends on Facebook are READY for their kids to go back. ;) I enjoy all of the unexpected time off with my family that I can get. My babies aren't going to be babies forever!

Yesterday, I had the chance to bundle all of my Christmas hundreds charts hidden picture activities into one product. I know a lot of you find this much easier. You can find it by clicking on the picture below. The bundle includes 13 charts and is on sale for $8.75.
