Classroom for 2011 - 2012 School Year

Back Reading Wall!

So I have been hard at work getting the classroom ready for the 2011 - 2012 School Year. I forgot my camera the day that I got the majority of the classroom done. But I did take some pictures after the first day of working in the room. There are just have a few minor things to do before the students arrive on Monday, the 15th of August. The theme this year is Cooking Up Success. I am excited about the theme but when I went into School Craft I fell in love with these adorable monsters. So the outside this year will be cooking and the inside will be monsters. For those of you that know me well that is totally out of character. I am usually one that carries a theme throughout...but not this year.

I hope that my students enjoy the room as much as I do. I will try to remember to take some more pictures before the first day so that if students or parents look at the blog they will know what to expect. I look forward to this school year and meeting my new students. I hope that they are excited too! Well enjoy the pictures and I will try to get more of them soon.
