Etsy Purchases

Since the 4th of July, I have seen an increase in job postings, but nothing dramatic. While I am waiting to hear back from the districts I have applied to, I have been doing some shopping on Etsy to keep me busy for the time being. I am so in love with my purchases! I might still buy more, but that will depend on the type of grade/school I will be teaching in. For now, here is a sneak peak at what I have for my room so far! Enjoy ;)


This is a picture of my name plate that I bought for my desk. It was completely customizable, and I think it it one of my favorite buys! I bought mine from HandCraftedHC, and you can view the shop here:

Next I bought a classroom door sign. Again, this was totally customizable and the seller sent me a proof of what it was going to look like before she made it. I had no issues with it and it came out great! This was bought from kasefazem and you can view the store here:

Now this was something I really didn't need, but I thought it was super cute! Another customizable product and fairly cheap considering it is a decorated hand sanitizer bottle. I bought it from lyricalletters and you can view the store here:

Birthday board! This was another one of my favorite purchases. Instead of having some giant display for birthdays, I found this fun little board that has painted chalkboard disks that I can change the names of my students each year. This will take up less wall space and looks way cute! I bought it from Havensplace and you can visit the shop here:

I bought this rubber stamp for a few reasons. One, I thought this would be great to stamp my books with so that way my name is in the book and should (ideally) never get lost. I also thought it would be good when I need to sign off on multiple things, and this would make it a lot faster. I bought this from cupcaketree, and you can view her shop here:

Finally I bought this "READ" sign for my room. I was able to get this in the theme that I'm making my classroom in, and I was able to choose the book characters I wanted to personalize it! I chose Dr. Seuss, because no matter how old you are, you can always have a love for Dr. Seuss books :) I bought the blocks from littlebluebirdcreate, and you can view the shop here:

This next week I don't have as much going on, so my game plan (in addition to always applying for jobs) will be to be crafty! I have a TON of things I want from TPT so I'm going to print them off, laminate them, and cut them out. These range from classroom posters, brain breaks, to word wall letters. I'm just doing the generic things I know that I want for sure in my room so that way I am even more prepared if I get hired last minute. I also have a few more things on my wish list of things I want from local stores in my area, so I will be going on a shopping spree this week! I will post with updates as I get them!
