Whew...I'm Pooped and 2013-2014 Classroom Reveal!

Okay - I finally was able to get into my classroom this week and work.  I started off with a room that had the following things just lumped against the wall:
25 student desks
15 chairs
1 kidney table upside down
1 teacher desk
2 giant wardrobes
2 bookshelves
2 filing cabinets
1 overwhelmed teacher

I finished today (with the help of my mom) with the following:
25 student desks
25 chairs
1 kidney table (right side up in the corner)
1 teacher desk
1 computer table
1 small table
5 bookshelves
2 wardrobes (1 out in the hall)
0 filing cabinets
1 very tired, but satisfied teacher

Ready for the full fifty-cent tour?

The hallway bulletin board (love the pop of colors!)

Hero Cape and Bathroom/Nurse sign out signs

No more "What time is art?" questions

Calendar and 1st day Back Treat bags -  I love love love the spiderman lampshade! 

Word Wall in the back of the library

Small group table (excuse the mess - we're preping today!)

Today mi madre and I got my BAT Binders put together (Monday's post will be all about them!) and my Walmart anchor chart (laundry hanging rack) put together.  Pictures of those to come on Monday.  So as you can see, we have been busy busy busy these past few days.  I'm taking off all next week to spend the last full week of vacay with Bean.  August 21 - I'm ready for you!

So what do you think? Are you ready for school to start again?  The first three comments below will get a free download from my store at Teachers pay Teachers! (Just leave your email in the comment!)

Always,
