First Day OOTD

Today is the first day!

No matter how many 'first days' of school that pass, I will always be eager to pick out my first day of school outfit. 

The first day is going to be a hot one with a high of 90 degrees here in Pennsylvania. I'll be bringing a white cardigan with me but I doubt I will be wearing it. 

Good luck and best wishes to all of you on your first day!

Classroom Reveal 2014-2015

I am ecstatic to show off my first classroom. Over 40 hours of work later and I don't even know if I can say the room is 100% where I want it. I came to the realization that it may never be exactly how I want it. My goals were to make it functional and at a state where I could stand to stare at these same four walls for over 8 hours a day for the next 10 months. I think I accomplished both goals. My students have not arrived yet so some boards are blank.

 

The pockets on the cubbies are for students' jobs.

 

 

 This chair is my favorite part of my room. It's an old office chair covered with fabric and secured with about 200 staples.

 

The sign is very blurry but it says "Under Construction Waiting for Student Work".
