Classroom Update

The classroom is coming along. I've been putting up bulletin boards, moving furniture, sewing, sketching/cutting/coloring bulletin board characters and starting to prep first week of school stuff. I have also spent some time leveling all of my classroom library books with the DRA reading levels. It took me about a half of a day to do all of the books I had at school, round two and three will come when we get more out of storage! 

 Books, books book.

Cutting out something I sketched. Any guesses as who/what I sketched?

WALMART SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS

Walmart has their 17 cent spiral bound notebooks out now. I went today and stocked up. I bought 26 each in 4 different colors. I am thinking. Reading, Writing, Math and Science.

They also had black and purple. 


Back to organizing and searching through boxes and boxes of school stuff in my garage. 

 

 

Room Update

I have spent a total of 4 days from about 9-5 (what a way to make a livin.... HA couldn't resist) working in my room and I wish I had more to show for it. 

What have I done?

*Put up double boarder for all of my bulletin boards that I planned out. 
*Moved furniture around to where I'd like it to be for the year... I think. 
*Moved former teacher's stuff to one corner of the room so I could work. 
*Organized some of the books 
*Sharpened and flagged some pencils for my kiddos for their desks on the first day of school.
*Sketched and cut out a bulletin board character

It really seems like I should have been more productive but my co-worker Ms. S has assured me that is plenty for all that time I've spent, HA! 

Pictures will be coming soon......

New Classroom

A few weeks ago I got a glimpse at my new classroom. I am very excited to get in there and really transform it and make it my own. I have very large walls and I don't think I am going to paper/fabric cover them.... we'll see how it goes.

Here's what my new room look like (along with some items from the teacher moving out).

Here is my front door. I am loving the cork board shadow box and can't wait to dress it up!

 Excited to finally have a classroom with a smart board. Any tips, tricks, websites etc. that would help me out, please share.

 

Not a fan of the brown board... I will be covering that! 

 Thinking of putting some curtains on those windows.

 Built in Book cases, backpack hooks line, and a cabinet line the back wall.

Excited to see how my room will come together.
