Classroom Update

I am pretty much done setting up my classroom. I have a few math items I need to put away and maybe spruce up my calendar math board, but other than that I am finished with the decorating part! Yay!! I am really excited to start a new school year at a new school. My team members seem really super nice and sweet which makes the transition to a new school a lot easier!!

Here is my library, which is probably my favorite part of my room!


Here is a close up of my library. 

This is where I will hang my students work

My interactive word wall...without words as of right now

Here are the reading strategies thanks to Cara at the The First Grade Parade

Here are the spelling chunks thanks to Deanna at Mrs. Jumps Class

Here is my classroom schedule thanks to Cara at The First Grade Parade and my behavior clip chart thanks to Jenn at Finally in First


That's all the pictures I took today. I will take more pictures tomorrow after I put a couple more things away. Tomorrow is our first teacher work day! I am really nervous and excited. Our lunch-in is from 1-3 so I will get to meet my new staff family. I can't wait to see what this year brings! :)

Classroom Photos

I am teaching first grade at a new school this year and I am super nervous. Today was the first day we were allowed to get into our classrooms. Ya'll I about died when I walked into my room! There was nothing in there expect 3 computers. I am so overwhelmed its not even funny!!! My teaching manuals, furniture, student books and manipulatives are all stored in  another teacher's classroom. I have a lot of work to do in the next four days. It took me all day just to bring all of my things from my house to the school. I have so much to do it's unbelievable!! 

Here's my new classroom:


I was there all day and feel like I got nothing accomplished.
Guess I will be at school bright and early tomorrow to hopefully get a lot accomplished!!
