Update of my Classroom

As promised, pictures of my classroom. Some of them are from earlier this week and some are from yesterday. I forgot to take some today. We (mom and I) have finished the bulletin boards.

 The above picture is looking into my room from the door.

This is showing the other half of the classroom from the door, too.

 This is the bulletin board just as you come into the classroom. I made the paper then cut out the letters. Today, I put more animals on it, it doesn't look as blank.

This is my door, I think it turned out cute.

Getting Ready....

I am sitting here in front of my computer and thinking a lot. I recently found out that my students will be split. I am not sure if I will get the self-contain kids or the resource kids. So I am a little worried. There are good things and bad things about which set of kids I end up with. But I am excited to begin the new year. It will be much better than last. This year, I will have less personal drama. I have a great man in my life and he is very supportive of what I do. He's willing to do anything I ask and he can clean a house like no other.

As I sit here and type this I am reviewing my to do list for my classroom. I have so much to do and not enough time to do everything on it. When the school year ended, my entire classroom was  packed up, our school was painted over the summer. I went back once to work in my room. The paint job looks great. But the boxes are overwhelming. I at least put my tables and book shelves in the correct place. The next time I am in the classroom, I will post pictures.

How to????

Okay... I recently joined a lot of educators blogs. I would love to know how you guys got your blogs all cute. I mean there are some really cute ones out there. If you guys have any hints, please please please help.
