Good Morning!

Hi!  My name is Mrs. Johnson and after stalking all the teacher blogs on the internet, I decided to start my own in order to compile all the fun I find that can be applied to my classroom.  I am a photohop junkie and so I have taken ideas from other blogs to create my blog "look".  Some call it copying, some call it stealing, I call it being lazy and not creative enough at the moment to come up with something new!  In reality, why spend all this time making my blog super original when I'm not sure anyone will check it out anyways?  And who knows if it will even take off and have followers or what-not.  I really just want my own place to accumulate all the ideas I find!!!

So, the awesome idea for my bog header came from a combination of two blogs I'm loving right now.  The first one is 3rd Grade's A Hoot which is beautifully designed and a lot of fun to explore.  The second blog is Fun In Room 4B which is equally as fun to follow.  Fun In Room 4B I believe  has been nominated for some awards and is a very accomplished blog. 

I have a theory on why everyone is using these fun bright colors these days.  First of all, they are FUN and add some color to an otherwise bland (white walled) life.  Also, the Dollar Tree has tons of fun baskets in these colors for..... a dollar!  I've been stocking up for my classroom library which is an adventure all on it's own since it is very small right now.

Anyways, hope to blog at least a few times a week, we'll see.
