These steps get me excited for the upcoming year. This week bulletin boards will be completed and the final touches will be put on the classroom. Soon students will be filling the seats and then the fun really begins!

Getting ready…

I can’t believe I haven’t posted on here for a month. Wow! Summer’s been wonderful and I’ve been enjoying my time off. I spent the last week at the beach with my family. I spent the week with my mom, sister, two aunts and my niece and nephew.

My nephew and niece have never been to the beach before! They certainly enjoyed themselves.

Now that I’m back from the beach, I’ve been spending time in the classroom getting it ready. Here’s what it looked like when I walked in…

I spent a day unpacking and moving furniture. I have sorted the books. There are so many books (and this doesn’t include the books I got this summer)! Here’s what it looks like now…

I can’t wait til the year begins. I’ll keep you updated on classroom progress. Also, I’ve been reading A LOT, so I’ll be blogging about the books I’ve read this summer. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
