Classroom pics

Well even though there was no school today I went in to make sure everything was perfect or as close to perfect as possible. Here are some pics of my room. I love the monster theme! I  labeled all of my books and bins this summer it took FOR-EVER! But totally worth it in the end.

Im so excited for my kiddies to come in tomorrow! We are doing a gingerbread man hunt around school and my lovely third grade teacher friend and her kids will leave little gingerbread men cookies out for a nice surprise:)

I cant wait to get started on all the projects I have planned. Ill post pictures as we complete them!

Im off to enjoy my last hours of summer :) bye for now!

First post

Back to school I go.... I'm new to blogging so bear with me here :)

Tomorrow is supposed to be our first day of school, but we are closed thanks to Irene, interesting start to the school year haha it's always something. I have 16 kiddos this year and I can't wait to get started thanks to all of the blogs out here that I have been reading this summer. I am so excited to try some of the new ideas that I have found.

Let me tell you a little about myself.....this is my second year teaching first grade and I  LOVE it!! Before I taught first grade I was a building substitute, a teachers' aid through AmeriCorps, and of course a student teacher. I have worked in a city setting, a suburban setting, and now a rural setting. I've been all over the place! 

Tomorrow I'll head to school even though we are technically closed and get some pictures put up of my room and get all my copying done for the week :)

Thanks for stopping by!
