*postcards to mail my kiddos- I always mail postcards to my kiddos a few days before school starts. In an effort to help them not be nervous or scared, I send them a postcard promising a gift on their desk on the first day of school!
*ink cartridges- I ALWAYS need ink at the beginning of the school year. I go through so much of it at home!!
*Velcro for name tags- I decided a few years ago to try this and I LOVE it! I switch my kiddos' seats quite often so it's easy for me to just grab a name tag and place it on a new desk. Then, I tell the kids to take everything out of their desks and move. I get tired of moving desks, so this works very well for me. I rearrange my room every few weeks, but sometimes first graders become too friendly with their neighbors and need to move more often than that! :)
This is not school related at all, but I went to the Hall of Fame football game on Sunday between the Saints and Cardinals! My parents have had tickets since before I was born. I haven't gone in a few years, but I went this year because my high school Alma Mater played during the half time show. I know...I'm a dork, but I was still kinda excited! :)
Here's a couple pics:

Sorry they're blurry. They're from my iPhone. That's another thing I am completely in love with. I really LOVE my iPhone!! :)
I'm off to read more Currentlys!!

I have WAY TOO MUCH stuff to do before school starts, too! :) I guess we are all in the same boat.
I found your blog through Farley's currently link up. After it took me 1476 days to figure out how to make my own currently! :)
Speaking of velcro-I was working in my classroom today and putting velcro on back of my maps. Ran out so I got some more from a drawer thinking this was going to be even better because it was loooong strips. Well, no sticky adhesive backing! It was actual SEWING velcro! :)
