First week . . .

How was your first week of school?  Mine was fantastic.  I feel this sense of belonging starting a new school year.  My classes are amazing.  I'm excited to see what is in store for me this year. 

A fun recap . .  .  I can honestly say I love my room this year !  My reading library came out better than I even imagined.  The solar system is hanging from my ceiling.  

I have two fantastic TA's this semester.  They come and help me stay organized, grade papers, make copies, and prepare labs for me.  Hopefully, I can train them in keeping my website updated.  

We has our first birthday celebration in home room.  Very excited. Kylee is a 6th grader and does not like having her picture taken.   And its our celebration day.  The students play games and build community. 

Boys are not shy !

Love this.  

Not so happy here ;) 

Share stories and pictures of your first week. Love to hear about it!  

Classroom Crazy !

What a crazy week!  In-service week started Tuesday.  We had meetings and catch up with staff ;). A great reminder when you are with co-workers how blessed you feel for an opportunity to make a difference in our students.  

My room was painted over the summer.  I was a bit nervous I wouldn't have much time create a fun learning environment for my students.  A bonus is feeling cozy in the room I will be in all year!  

I have included some pictures !

My solar system wall.  Angelina made a space ship with an astronaut lassoing a star!  

Love this wall !  Bought white letters and painted. A student came in and did some custom designs.  

Not done with this yet. Going to include names of my students.  

Behind my desk with all my professional development books ;). 

Do you see "Bones" - my skeleton? 

My favorite !!  I'm thrilled how this turned out.  

I ordered this decal for my literacy corner.  

Going to include quote by JK Rowling.

Have a great school year everyone.
