Classroom in progress!!

Hello everyone! I began working in my classroom about a week ago and I've taken pictures throughout the process. Here we goooo! :)

Empty Corner...

Lots of old..old..old books..

More..stuff...

And so I began unpacking my books and reorganizing them into book baskets.

Organized library..we are getting there!

My PBIS whole classroom reward board. The students will earn little boho birds in the nest. When we reach 30 birds we will earn a whole classroom reward! I like the idea of this instead of a marble jar (which I used to use..) because it's more visual. The children are able to see how many birds they have earned and how many they have to go!

I also created another bulletin board area which will be the center of our morning meeting. Instead of the typical "Morning Meeting" label, I labeled it "Early Bird Corner."

Like my chevron rugs?? :)

My desk area..also a huge bulletin board. Some of our procedures will go here.

Front of the room. Love my new SMARTboard! 

Sorry for some of these photos, I wasn't impressed with how blurry they came out (I blame it on the lighting). Anywho..here is my classroom TA-DAH! Super excited. Still have a lot to do before August 28th (first day of school)! Wanted to do a quick post! xo

New Products on TPT!

Hello Everyone!

   Well...I've been home today picking away at things I want to create for my classroom. I decided I wanted to create some cute daily schedule cards for my classroom. I love polka-dots so I created several color themed schedule cards and added them to my TPT store. The color schemes that I created are: pink, blue, green, black, orange, and red. If you are interested in checking out my store please click on the picture below! Thanks! xo

YAYYY!

What a rocky journey this summer has been for me. I was hired at one school for fourth grade, was moved to another school in my district due to a cut and was placed in Kindergarten, and after someone decided to resign at my current school...I am now OFFICIALLY in FOURTH GRADE! Whip lash much?
I have to say though, I am super excited. Fourth grade has to be probably my favorite grade and I am absolutely delighted to be teaching at a school in my community, and is only about 5 minutes from my house. My first day with the students is the 28th...and I'm able to work in my room probably tomorrow. Therefore, two weeks. YIKES. I will be busy..but I will work super duper hard to make my room fabulous for my fourth graders. :)
Will be posting updates and pictures soon my friends...life is finally falling into place. YES.

Sigh...

Well, I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth..I promise. We begin school August 28th and I have yet to do anything in my classroom. This is NUTS. Hoping to be able to learn about more things that are up in the air soon and hopefully will get into my classroom (whatever grade I'm teaching..this is still in question) and get to WORK. As you guys know...sometimes I begin working on my room in JUNE. So you can understand my frustration.

This will be a short post. I just wanted to let my other fellow blogger friends know that I have been living vicariously through your pics of "setting up" your classroom. Keep taking pics, keep sharing ideas, I am enjoying them and trying to stay in the positive mindset of SCHOOL.
