Five for Friday Linky!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching!

Today after cheer practice, I spent some serious time working on things in my classroom. 

This first bulletin board is going to be for my Cultural Diversity course I get to teach. The class itself is still a work in progress. As of right now I have the first project and the final project planned. This bulletin board will be the host of our classroom tree. The first couple days of school students will research their culture and answer a few basic questions. They will put their info on a "leaf" which we will add to our tree. Now all I have to do is figure out how to design a tree out of paper. :)

This second bulletin board took me FOREVER to put together. I may be teaching 6th grade, but I am cross-curricular. Everyone else on my grade-level team teaches one subject. This board will be to post our daily agenda, homework, and my point system for classroom management. My lovely friend Hannah shared this wonderful link with me from Teach. Inspire. Change. This is a whole-class behavior system where students can earn seconds towards their time. Their ultimate goal is to reach 15 minutes where they will be allowed to play semi-subject related games. Hopefully this is something I can keep up with and the students will be excited about!

I'm working on some cute t-shirts for my cheerleaders. 

The colors will be slightly different but I'm super excited for them to get them!!!

I just finished reading this book...            Now I'm waiting for this book... to arrive :)

What can I say?? I LOVE a good mystery!

I discovered these beautiful expectation posters  from Lessons With Laughter . I'm debating how I want to display them in my room. I thought about finding some cheap frames to hang them with or some wooden frames from Michaels that I could spray paint and then modge podge on. Ohhhh the ideas!

And finally, it's messages like these that really make me smile :)

About Me && a Monday Made It

Welcome to my new and improved blog! Don't judge me... I'm currently on the wait list for a super cool new blog design courtesy of Lindsey at Blog Designs with the Teacher in Mind. :) I blogged about two years back but couldn't find the time to keep up with it. So this time, I'm ready to give it another shot.

But first... a little bit about me...

My name is Ashley Dudeck and I'm a 1st year, 6th grade teacher. I've taught 3rd and 4th grade previously but I'm definitely ready for the change! I truly love my job and {almost} everything it entails! Can't say I enjoy all the paperwork too much. HA!

I grew up in St. Louis, MO but later attended Missouri State University for a degree in Elementary Education. This past May I graduated with my Master's degree in K-12 School Administration from Lindenwood University.

I got engaged back in February and am currently planning a wedding which will {hopefully} 

be held in Mexico. Fingers crossed!! :) Here's us :::

A little bit more... I like to do crazy, fun things! I run 5ks {but mostly the fun kind!}, I love to get dressed up, and I love all things glitter and pink!

Finally, I'm a proud mama to three adorable furbabies :) Jenny, Val, and Jazz

Alright! That's enough... for now :) Now, onto today's Monday Made It with 4th Grade Frolics.

First, after cheer practice, I built a bookshelf from Walmart. 5 shelves!! I'm so proud of myself :) :)

Second, I made 14 of these beautiful, glittery bows for my girls! The crafty side of me finally made an appearance this summer. I really love these things and am incredibly surprised they turned out so nice!!

Okay, I think that's enough for now. Check back often for more updates!! I plan to blog about my teaching endeavors, daily fashion, and all things me!
