Well, Emily and I (Lauren) have exciting news -- we are looping partners!! Emily will be in first grade this year and loop up to second next year and I will be in second this year and head down to first next year and loop with my kiddos to second. We are very excited and trying to stay very organized! I am so lucky to be able to work so closely with such a great teacher and share ideas. Secondly, my best friend is getting married this weekend. It will be a big, fat Greek wedding! AND I just put a bid in on a house. Fingers crossed that the inspection goes well tomorrow and then I will sign on the dotted line -- phew a lot has happened in a short amount of time!
Now, here are some pictures of my work in progress classroom (who am I kidding -- it is always a work in progress, ha!). We go back Monday and students start on Wednesday. Let me say -- thank goodness for pinterest, Schoolgirl Style and 2nd Grade Shenanigans as some of my designs were tweaked or came from there! (: I will have to take a better picture of my new bookshelf that my dad made me this summer -- in loveeee!
Reading Area Rock Stars with my new bookshelf! (Thanks, Dad!)
Another view of my reading area
I can focus board and bulletin board for student work (clothes line inspired)
Doorway area (ps. got the cute stick on polka dots from Targets clearance area!)
Word wall and guided area
We are no longer able to hang things from the ceiling, so my table numbers are on my chair - easy fix!
My window -- had to get my poof balls in some place!
Have a great week,
Lauren (:
