Back to School

After three long days (and a few late nights)my classroom is finally ready for Open House tomorrow. After preparing and thinking all summer of how I want my classroom to look for this school year, I think I have it just right! I am so excited to meet 19 little faces tomorrow, who I will call mine for the next ten months. Over these next ten months, we will do a lot of learning, exploring, making new friends, working thru problems together, all the while celebrating milestones, and most importantly creating a strong classroom family. I know that there will be little sleep for me tonight as I anxiously wait to meet my students and their families tomorrow morning. In the meantime here are some pictures of my finished classroom:
