New Year, New Classroom

I have been in the same classroom for 9 years, so it was about time to pimp-it-up! I spend long days there and I wanted it to feel inviting and bright. Our school mascot is the Owl, so I continued with the pattern and used owls...plus they are so cute! Just by making a few changes, my classroom came to life! This year I added curtains (to hide my mess) and shams to make it look homey. My amazing aunt made them for me. She also made me seat covers, the lunch count and job chart. I love how my classroom looks now!

This is my lunch count and job "chart" - tree

That messy area is my desk (It was the 2nd day of pre-planning, so a little messy) ;)

But it is even worse behind those curtains! 

 This is my classroom ready for Meet-the-Teacher

During Meet-the-Teacher, the students selected their lunch stick, behavior owl, job owl, center figurine, and got to choose their table. In the back you can see the t-shirts I make them so they can wear them during field trips and special occasions.

I am very excited about this new school year and I know it is going to be the best one yet! 

Best of luck to all my fellow teachers!
