Today is the first day of school my friends. The first day. Oy. There's always so much anticipation and build-up to the first day. I'm ready to be in a groove, in a schedule, with procedures down. Can we just fast forward already? :)
Today is Wednesday so it's time for my weekly linky, "What I'm Loving Wednesday."
First up is my classroom. I have to say that I love it simply because I've been spending so much time getting it ready. It feels good to finally be done. Or as done as I'm going to get before the kiddos come in.

I'm also loving the genius idea I saw on Instagram about putting pool noodles in your boots to keep them from flopping over in the closet.
I was shopping the other day and saw pool noodles for 97 cents so I had to try it out. I cut one up and put the pieces in my boots right away. Love it!
Last but not least I'm loving my new Substitute Binder that I printed out yesterday and am starting to fill in.
I feel like it's going to keep me super organized when it comes to substitutes, which always seem to take for.ev.er to plan for.
I'm hoping with all of this information already prepped and in a binder, the sub plans will be way easier!

Well, that's all I have for now. I have a couple more projects I need to finish up tonight for the first day tomorrow.
What are you loving this week? Make sure to link up!
I LOVE the picture with the crates on your counter. The ribbon and colors. So cute! The pool noodle trick is great! It is such a cheap easy way to keep your boots upright. I have them in all my boots too!

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for the tip about the pool noodles for boots - what a great idea.
