Classroom: Part 2

I have a lot on the brain right now! Next week should be crazy. . . My classroom is still an unorganized disaster and although my vision is coming together, it feels like it will be awhile until it is ready for Meet the Teacher Night. It would be great if I could work on it all day and night up until then, however, I have meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, I am MOVING to a new apartment on August 9th/10th, I start Beginning Teacher Academy August 13th! I don't think I can go up to the school on Weekends, and pretty soon I need to start lesson planning! 

I am SOOO thankful for the help that I have had. Not only do all of my goals get met in record time, but it is so nice to have company! I have AMAZING aunts/uncles across the board, but Richard and Kathy came all the way up to Frisco to help me in my classroom all day Friday, despite their Fridge biting the dust and their tree problem! I am so blessed and without their help my day wouldn't have been nearly as productive. Here are a few pics of what has been accomplished since my last post. 

I was house sitting this past week, so only went up to the classroom for 1 1/2 days, and had a meeting at the school with my team on another. Richard and Kathy came Friday. I have to toot my own horn just for a second. Once my accordion wall was locked in place, I put this corner up 100% on my own! I was so worried to hang fabric and border alone in fear that it wouldn't be tightly pulled or the border would be crooked. It may have taken me a little longer than if I had help, but I did it! 

Please take note of the clear counter in the above picture. Also on my own, I took the liberty of pulling out EVERYTHING in the closet and filing cabinet so that I can organize it my own way. This job will be done on Monday and I am a little scared. 

Kathy put up my Math Tools letters!

See the counter now? Oh don't worry that is just a fraction of the disaster!

Richard and Kathy did my number line and all of the place value posters all by themselves while I worked in my corner. I am so glad that this got done, and I know that If I had to put up each individual number and place value card and it wasn't straight I would have gone nuts. They are a great team! It's starting to look like I teach Math! You guys have no idea how much I appreciate this!

See the green wall with blue border to the right? That's the corner I have been working on. It is still a work in progress!

Kathy and I made these letters during the summer before I was allowed in my classroom. I am so glad we did these because They are so cute! I wrapped the letters in yarn, Kathy made the flowers, once we command stripped and push pinned the letters on the wall, we placed the flowers to cover the push pins. 

I didn't take many pictures this past week, but other random miscellaneous things got done. The couch is gone! and I have been a clorox wiping fool! Setting up a classroom is a much bigger job than even I expected! 

Hopefully things don't get so crazy that I can't blog the finished product!
