Teacher Meet N Greet!

Wow... so today was an absolutely awesome and excessively exhausting day! I am beyond tired, but was soooo excited to see my precious new kids today! I am very pumped about school starting tomorrow. Tomorrow will consist of Hugs, "First Day of School Jitters", Expectations, getting into lockers, devotions, etc! And my favorite part... my PINK POODLE SKIRT!!!! I can't wait to share those pictures with you tomorrow! Here are a few from today...

 I am completely stoked about my Behavior Chart for this year! I have a song for my clip chart to go along with each level! Students start the day in the middle--- and can go up or down! I can't wait to start seeing my music notes move up the board!!!

 Student desks after some dropped off supplies today--- thus the bags!

 My desk--- before I cleaned it back off, and the SCARY library in the back!

AMAZING book recommendations chart that my friend Taran helped me make! I give her all the credit! She did a great job with the creativity!

Dressing Up my Nest!

So today I FINALLY have gotten my desk area figured out! I opted to get rid of a "real" teacher's desk and instead us a table & a rolling drawer cabinet. Needless to say... I LOVE LOVE LOVE it so far! It's soooooo much better than the big bulky desk I had before that just accumulated JUNK and now I can have small groups at my desk! OH HOORAY! A few pictures from today:

 Student desks will all books ready to go to their lockers! :)

 My desk, classroom library, and student desks!

 MY NEW DESK SPACE!!!! It's a little cluttered now, but I'm so excited about it!

 Classroom library... all I can say is SCARY!

Another view of my desk!

Learnin' Round the Clock

So the school year is getting started... and for the past week I've been working on setting up my classroom. My theme for this school year is the 1950s! I am trying to maintain my theme throughout my classroom-- from the moment you walk into the door, to the students' desks, and even to my anchor charts and classroom library! Here are a few pictures of getting set-up... and once I get more done, I'll post more pictures!

My classroom when I walked in on Monday... 

 

 My juke box for my wall

 Getting the desks set up... which is a little difficult with 4 more students this year. I had no idea how much space 4 desks take up! But I am excited about having a slightly larger class this year because I'll have more babies to love on! :)

 The start of my "Info to Know" bulletin board--- with my AWESOME piano key border!

 Homework Agenda board/computer table & bookshelf.

 The really cool decor I found at the Educator store! How fun is this?
