Just call me Pepe le Tres Southern

Here you go. Me, in video form. I’m not going to lie- my accent? Pretty dang proud of it. Jason and others tell me it gets even stronger when talking to my aunts. Frightening or awesome? I’ll let y’all decide.

Also, yes, I have some sun damage on my upper lip hence the fact that you might think I’m sporting a pencil thin mustache. It’s truly humiliating and if you have any remedies, please feel free to share in the comments. I’m not too proud to beg.

Ok, back to making my classroom come alive. Enjoy!

{If you love my super cute t-shirt with a darling flower on it like I do, you need to head right on over to my friend Tiffany’s website and Etsy shop to get you one.

Seriously, go.

You won’t regret it.}

  2. Love the lamp. Target. And your accent.

    I'm jealous. Of your storage closet. And of your sister's marathons.

    Just kidding about your sister.

    Oh, and I dig your new do!

    Hope you have a great year.

    Sweet dreams.

  3. You have an amazing classroom and that closet is to die for. How awesome!!! A teacher can never have enough storage space. The bulletin boards are shaping up! Your haircut is really cute. I love it!!! I can tell how excited you are to get your room all set up. I can't wait to see the finished product. And aren't you excited to meet your students for the first time? I always looked forward to that when I taught. Take care and have a nice weekend. Love & blessings from NC!

  4. OK - I'm going to live through you - I always wanted to be a teacher!!! How much fun!!! I'd be ALL about those bulletin boards!

    *Love the lamp... too cute!
    *What an amazing storage closet
    *love little desks... aahh...
    *Love the little storage area - nice to keep coats & stuff out of the way
    *I recommend just getting like a nice, pretty basket to put all your stuff in on Friday so then you can just pile it back on Monday
    *And question... what the heck is ON that bulletin board in the "locker room" area?????? It looked like blood splattered!!!!!!

    *And finally - you are just the cutest little thing!!!

  5. BWWWAHAHAHAHAHA "can you say editing?" :) Is it bad that with all the other fab stuff, that was my VERY favorite part? I think no.

  6. That closet is amazing and it's empty! (Which is good and bad--sometimes you can find treasures in there and other times you find big messes.)

    I always had bare walls at the beginning of the year and enlisted the children to help get things looking better. A favorite, easy project for the beginning of the year: Bioglyphs. They make adorable faces on paper plates according to their interests and summer activities. You can even make a speech bubble for them to add something else about themselves and you'll have an idea of where they are with written language.

    Ok, way too much talking for a blog comment. I'm living vicariously through your new class so STOP me when I get annoying. It'll come in fits and starts. I loved teaching and this time of the year!

  11. Love the accent :)

    Mind you, mine is probably even stranger to you than yours is to me, being in Northern Ireland!

    Love that lamp.

    Love what you are doing with your room.

    Hope you share it again, after it has been used by the kids :)
