Days Two & Three!

I've went into school a lot this weekend and I've got so much done! I have been hanging a lot of my things on the walls (with some help from my friend, Karlee :) I owe ya!) and organizing my things around the room! Here is a few pictures of what my classroom is looking like now...

 

 Above is my Birthday Graph, I have yet to add my students' cupcakes (that have their birthdays on them) to the graph. :)

A fellow teacher traded me their easel to use this year... Cannot wait to use it! :) Oh and it has lots of storage behind it too! Total plus! Whoop!

And, above my windows I put up my "Class Act" posters to remind my students to show good character! :) I've got plenty more to do- but just thought I'd post a few more pictures as many of you were asking how my room is looking! :)

Finally!

So I wasn't able to get into school until today!  Many of the classrooms weren't ready for us to move our things in. So we had to wait a couple days! But thankfully today I got to bring my things into the school and start sorting through boxes and boxes of my supplies! Since we are in the 'flood zone' we aren't able to open our windows.....so it's super HOT in there! We have many workers in our school still so it's a total mess! But I was a trooper and stayed until 7:30pm and I got to the school at 11:00 this morning! My principal gave us our classroom lists today too! I only have 15 students in my class!!! And, I have a lot of my students from last year! I cannot wait to see them all again! :)

Well here is what my classroom looked like this morning after unloading all of my things, what a disaster!

Thankfully, I had one of my amazing teacher friends (Heather) come over and help me! :) Oh yeah, and she brought me lunch since I didn't leave the school all day! Thank you Heather! After moving my desk, bookshelves, tables, and student desks around the room (about 10 times) this is what my classroom looks like now:

I know it isn't much yet, but it's only day one! :) I'll be going back tomorrow morning to get more of my things unpacked and put away (so excited)! Well happy Thursday everyone! I'll post more again soon :)

Tomorrow's the day!

I'm so excited for tomorrow (well not the waking up early part, ha) as I get to move into school! Since the flood, I have been living in my teenie tiny apartment with one too many boxes full of games, lessons, and supplies from my classroom! I cannot wait to get my new room all set up! I got to go into the school today and sort through some of my Kindergarten/First grade stuff.. and oh my gosh- what a MESS I have! But on the bright side, my classroom is freshly painted, has new carpet, countertops, and I even have windows (last year I didnt have any), oh and I have my own bathroom! YES! 

Here are some pictures of what I need to move to school tomorrow...did I mention that I drive a  2-door Eclipse! :) Well, here goes nothing!

This is currently what the one side of my kitchen looks like. Anyone want to play "Dont spill the beans"? ha! ;) Below is a picture of part of my bedroom. I currently seem to be eating, sleeping, and dreaming about teaching!

So, Sept 6th (my first day of school).... will you please hurry up?! I cannot wait to meet my students and get back into my classrom! :) I'll post more pictures soon... until next time!

Welcome!

Well here I am making my very own blog. Never thought that I would actually be doing this, but here goes nothing! I'm super excited to start school (on Sept. 6th) as I get to move up from Kindergarten to First grade! I look forward to seeing my students a few inches taller and a whole lot smarter! ;) Once school starts, i'm hoping to upload pictures of my kiddos and classroom, share lessons, and keep you all informed on what's going on in my room! So check back soon as I will (hopefully) have added something new for you to enjoy! :)
