Back to School Essentials - Brights & Neons!

This summer is flying by and I have been falling behind on blogging.  I have been doing a lot to keep up with organization in my room.  I want to make sure this school year is neat, organized and full of color!  I love a bright classroom and I am trying to put together somethings to make sure that happens.

I just ordered these very cute book bins from Really Good Stuff.  The colors fit perfectly with my class which is usually filled with bright neons.

At just $13, I think it's a pretty sweet deal.  

I also picked up paper baskets for my centers.  

Last year, I used these for center bins and my work for the week.  I labeled each basket Mon-Fri and had the work all set for the students for each day.  I need to find a place for them in my class this year.  I am sure I will come up with something.

To keep going with the theme of brights, I picked up these neon pencils at Walmart.  They were a bit expensive on my taste, but I couldn't resist.  I will use them as an incentive for those well behaved kiddos!

When I finished all my shopping, I kept working. Haven't worked as hard all summer.  I printed out my  posters from my Part of Speech set and started laminating right away.

I love the way they turned out, bright and very eye catching.  My little ones will hopefully be using these posters as references and guides.
