All set? You bet!

Well... It's finally here! It's 4:23..AM and I'm wide awake wondering if there is anything I've forgotten for the first day of school. Do any of you do that?? I get so anxious/antsy the night/morning before...not in a bad way of course. I just get so excited! I thought I would post some pictures of my classroom since it may not look the same after today! I hope everyone else has a fabulous first day!!

I saw something like this on Pinterest and went with it. Hopefully I can keep it up all year. 

My cubbies. At the top are all kinds of inspirational quotes I found on Pinterest. I was going to put them around the door frame but it made the door way too busy. 

My best of friends Mrs. Mosley and my classroom all ready for the first day. 

Love my rocking chair. 

Love this hanging helper sign

Play dough is always great for the first day. It keeps the kids entertained while their new friends trickle in. 

The kids will choose a basket (1 dot basket when they finish math centers and 2 dot basket when they finish literacy). The baskets typically have two choices (games). 

My writing center. I'll take a more detailed picture later. So excited about it!!

I'm also excited about the white work boxes. My hope is to put differentiated work in each drawer for kids. 

Love my treehouse. 

Rearranged My Room!

Soooo it's been a while since I posted, sorry!

Where did the summer go? I feel like I haven't had a second to relax. I even did homework at the beach!! It's been a busy busy summer with grad school, weddings (not my own), showers, break-ins, our fabulous conference, and so on.  Anyways...

I am finally getting back into school mode. I got my class list and I am so excited for this year!! As of right now I have 19 friends. We have about 465 kindergarteners registered at our school and school hasn't even started!! It's definitely a special treat working at an all kindergarten school with so many sweet little faces and fabulous teachers.

I took a few pictures of my classroom yesterday. It is pretty much finished. I just need to hang my new job banner. It's so cute! I will post a picture when I get it up!!

Blue/Art Center

Every child's favorite thing in my classroom.  Mine too. :)

My door.  I wanted to do something new this year, but my creative juices started flowing a bit too late.

Red/Writing center and computers and my FABULOUS new shelf my dad and I made.

Look at all the junk stuff it holds!  AMAZING!

Teacher table... looks a little junky, but it's really very organized. :)
