Laminator's anonymous???

My hand is up, I can freely admit I have a problem!

I have an addiction to laminating. 
...
...
..Seriously!  


I even find myself wistfully wishing the slot was wider so i could laminate bigger stuff.    Probably lucky its not, because I tell you - even hubby's sandwich's wouldn't be safe from my addiction!

The worst part about this addition - I have actually run out of things to laminate now!  Nope, not joking!

The best part - our home school room is ready for the 2014 school year to start....

Everything is labelled with a plain (laminated) name tag and ready to go.  Only slightly annoying thing is that the walls seem very empty with all of last years things off them.  I am positive it won't take long to fill them up though - with something I can LAMINATE! 

See our cute little labels - awwww :)

Even the new Coconut Tree hasn't missed out.

So there are some new additions to our currently bare walls this year.  Some great ideas for Samantha.
I still want to do a word wall for her this year - for her sight words, but that will come as the year progresses.  At this stage she has a brand new spelling wall, and a Spanish section that will change each week.

Our spelling lily pads and Samantha's purple frog that will leap from pad to pad.

Spanish Words wall and one of our new inspirational quotes :)

And for both kids we have our 'I choose virtues' wall this year.  I have a programme that we will be following for this section and we will highlight a particular virtue for 3 weeks at a time.  The hope is that I can actually instill some lasting values as well as having some fun.

Virtues wall.

And much to his delight, Anthony has a wall this year.  We have our preschool wall for him.
It has a Calendar, yesterday, today, tomorrow chart, seasons and a weather chart.  It also has a special place for the letter and bible verses for the week.  All of these come from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com.  Either free downloads from the site or part of the Letter of the Week curriculum that we are using with my big boy this year.

Calendar - loving the Velcro dots sooooo much!  (another addiction - sigh)

Preschool wall.

Anyway, that's all for now.  We are just waiting on our parcels of Start right books, stationary and Singapore Maths workbooks before I can complete Samantha's timetable (Anthony's is ready to go) and we are good to start.
Ooooh, I just had a brainwave - I should laminate Samantha's ballet certificates from last year.......
