Flying time.....

154 days....that's how long I've been a teacher.  In 24 days, the school year will be over, and it will no longer be my first-year!!!  Craziness!!  I have decided that I am really good at being really inconsistent with my blog.

Some room arrangements and such.....
This is how my classroom looked when I first walked into it.  all I remember saying, was that's a lot of chairs!! :)


After I set up my room....the first time.  I think that my room has had over 100 makeovers :)



Major set up change #2.  This was in November.  I wanted to have the rug closer to the Smartboard  for math and phonics. Like the hanging pumpkins? :)

Our fall bulletin board.  We wrote acrostic poems, and made falling leaves bags.


A couple more changes around Christmas time.  We had a Grinch, that students would do good deeds for each other, and write them on a heart, and we tried to cover up the Grinch with the hearts before Christmas Break.....we got pretty close!!  :)

After Valentines Day....can I say, sugar rush? :)

Our most recent addition....a student work board!  Their artwork is held up by clothespins with a crayon hot glued to them.  
This post has just turned into a collection of pictures, but pictures speak a thousand words, right?  I can honestly say that I have never been so challenged in my whole life, and teaching is definitely a way of life!!  Just like my room has evolved and changed over the year, I feel like I have as well.

I also recently found out that I will be moving with my group of kids next year to second grade!  I will be moving out into a relo, so I get to say goodbye to my classroom, and figure out some creative storage ideas :)  I will leave you with a picture of some silly grass heads we made for our growing unit!!
