Life is so good in our neck of the woods!
I'm not just saying that either--things really do seem to be going well for both of us.
Mitch is really busy going to school and working (the end of the semester is slowly coming...then he only has 2 more if things work out!) and I am really busy attempting to teach first graders and keep our house clean at the same time. It is actually more challenging than I ever thought it would be.
Well, Mitch is off hunting right now, so I figured I would FINALLY post some pictures of my home-away-from home...my classroom! I meant to a long time ago when my sister-in-law asked, but then my camera went MIA. Yesterday when Mitch went to fix my flat tire, he found it sitting in our very clean (really it was) trunk.
So, here's the little tour of my room and what it looked like at the beginning of the year!
The Before:
(when I first walked in)
 |
| It is kind of intimidating to walk into a blank/empty/boring classroom! |
 |
| Last year the teacher had 29 students...I'm SO grateful for my 21! ...and that I could get rid of the ugly brown tables.... |
 |
| The front of the room |
 |
| Teacher's desk and computer stations |
And then the after:
(End of August when school started)
 |
| The kiddos organzied tables and the apple job chart. |
 |
| The "Word Wall"....there are actually words above the letters now! |
 |
| I was so grateful for everyone who came and helped me! Particularly Mitch's family! They were incredible!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Front of the room....we spend a lot of time here. Sometimes too much. But it is where the board and smart projector are! |
 |
| A little more color. |
 |
| Our Reading Beach! |
And here are a few pictures of our classroom right now...after 50 days of school!
 |
| I'm running out of room to hang stuff on walls! |
 |
| I'm so lucky. |
 |
| See, the Word Wall now has words on it. |
 |
| Birthday Chart and Stations Chart |
 |
| The newest edition...I changed my beach to a fall reading corner... this is actually unfinished...I should take a picture of it now |
