Wow, another school year is here! I can't believe that this will be my fourth year teaching... so weird. As each new year approaches, it never fails that I turn into a crazy person who spends hours working in my classroom with no air conditioning and plan meticulously all of the things that I want to do better. Then staff development week hits and without fail, something new is thrown at us and I am left scrambling to figure out how it will fit into my "meticulous plans". I suppose I wouldn't have it any other way. For some reason, I secretly enjoy the feelings of being challenged and completely overwhelmed... it keeps me on my toes. Anyway, here are some pictures of my classroom this year. I have toned it down a little... I am still working on a new visual for my math stations and a management system for the new phonics program so it is still, as always, a work in progress.
Supplies ready for the first day.
New polka dot rug for the library. No more zebra print!
I added tickets for labels on the book boxes.
I finally found a RED CARPET!
I have been looking for three years and now I have the perfect rug!
$20 at Big Lots for a 5' by 6'
Good luck to all teachers going back to school tomorrow!
