Welcome to my classroom!

The kiddos come to school tomorrow! But I thought I would give you a sneak peak at my classroom... since it's a neat and tidy as it is ever going to be!

One of my friends who teaches third grade made this flag for me to hang outside my room.

I love it so much- she is very talented!

Okay, now that I am looking at this picture, the outside of my room really looks waaaaay too busy and there are just a tad too many cat pictures. What do you think? I counted over twenty pictures/posters/decorations. Do you think I should take down some of them?

My Recorder Karate bulletin board in the hallway. This is how the kids will track their progress.

I haven't redone this bulletin board in years! I want to say it's because "if it ain't broke don't fix it," but it is also because of sheer laziness and the fact that I am not artistic AT ALL.

But somehow I did make this.

I stole the idea from another teacher. I think she found it on Pinterest.

My desk is usually very clean! I can't stand clutter.

My cabinets and closets on the other hand...

New for this year: A map of the world!

I usually pull up Google Maps on the Smart Board but this year I want to do it old school style!

I have one of the only chalkboards left in the whole school!

I love my chalkboard.

I am lucky to have a huge room!

The only drawback is that it ends up being the meeting space for our faculty meetings.

Another new poster for the year!

That's my Chrissy Boy.

One last shot of a new poster for my room. I love this quote, I don't know why!

And that's my room! I don't talk about work a lot on my blog or share many pictures, so I thought it would be interesting for you to see another part of my life... A part that is every bit exhausting as running!

Thanks for stopping by my classroom! Tomorrow it will be filled with hundreds of little cherubs!
