It's All Coming Together!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...my classroom is coming together. I plan on sharing lots of pictures today. I hope I know how to link everything right, that way I give everyone the credit they deserve. Here goes...

BOXES! BOXES!

My classroom before...

I do not feel I am going to have everything ready!

Ended up changing the direction of my desk.

Classroom Library

The Gathering Place

My Granddaddy made those benches for me 17 years ago...They are marked
with my daughter's hand-prints when she was four.
She just graduated and is attending Gordon College,

Got this idea off of Pinterest

My students enjoying a game from mathwire.com 

I have not been able to blog as much as I want. New standards and lots of meetings have kept me from posting. I'm starting slow, but hope to continue to add more as the year goes on. It's really fun. New pictures soon of the completed classroom and more activities the children have been working on in class.

Back to School! What a RUSH!!!!

Wow! What a week so far! We started back to school last Wednesday and boy has it been a total RUSH! Do you ever feel that way when school starts back? I know I have been feeling it for the past 5 days!

I did get A LOT of sweet little ones this year. My class size is around 23. I am sure some of you have about the same or more. So far, everything is going good! I know it takes time to adjust to new schedules, new faces, and most of all  NEW STANDARDS! How many of you are adjusting to CCS? Change is good. However, I feel like I am a beginning teacher again. Long hours researching and putting together new lesson plans. Thank goodness for curriculum coaches!

Well, I have made some changes to my classroom and many of my ideas came from other teachers from pinterest.


I'll Post Pictures tomorrow!
