NEW CLASSROOM

Welcome to my new classroom. It is huge. I had trouble deciding what to do with all the space. I took these pictures really quickly on my way out Friday. I had good intentions of organizing a "tour" around my room, but we're gonna have to go with some quick snapshots of the various areas. When you are seeing the blackboard, you are "standing" in the front of the room. When you see the Smartboard you are in the back of the room. My plants are not usually on the table, they live on the window sills, except for when they move into buckets on the table for spring break. I haven't gotten posters up in the front yet, excuse the vast blue emptiness.












Spring Pajamas

I'm wearing my spring pajamas. I find this very exciting (mind you the heat is currently running in my house--but it is April 6th and I want spring). Also, if you saw me you might point out that this top and pants looks an awful lot like my winter, fall, and summer pajamas, but you would have missed two very important details. This top doesn't have long sleeves and it is SPRING GREEN! I love the color green that everything turns in the spring, you only get to see it this time of year--bud green is my favorite color. I stood outside in the rain today just to appreciate the green. Now I'm going to switch computers and post pictures of my new classroom!
