Classroom Sneak Peeks!!!!!

School officially started back for teachers this week! 

Which only means one thing. 

I FINALLY GOT PAID. 

It's nice to be able to eat again. 

Just kidding. It's been so great being back!! My team is WONDERFUL and super helpful. They're all 1st grade experts, so they pretty much know all there is to know. The advice they've given me has made me a lot more confident in what I'll be doing for the first 7 or so days of school. 

I'm equal parts excited and nervous. You know when you're at the part of the roller coaster when you're fastened in the seat and it starts *tick* *tick* *tick* ticking its way up the incline and part of you is thinking "OH MY LANTA PLEASE GET ME OFF OF THIS DEATH TRAP" but the other half is thinking "THIS IS GONNA BE SO COOL A;DSKJF;IEJA;LKD YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" 

That's how I feel, and I think that is very healthy. :)

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my classroom so far! I've been busybusybusy decorating and planning, so neither of either are completely done yet. I'm pretty happy about what I've got so far, though!

 My little library :) There's more books behind the curtains that I'll switch out periodically. This blasted shelf was quite an ordeal. It took like 32422987 tries to get it cute, but I really like it now!!

 The library book labels up close. Yes, I did chevron. Sue me. You know you love it. 

 A close up of my classroom goals. I'll start this a couple weeks in. Students choose a goal in the morning and we talk about how they did in the afternoon. If need be, we'll hold ourselves accountable with a recording sheet. I'm going to see how they do without that first. 

 Class goals!!

 My other bulletin board. (I have 3!!!) I'm not sure what I'm going to put on it yet but I think the border is fabuloso. 

Table supply boxes. Chevron again. If you haven't noticed, my "theme" is bugs/yellow/blue. Every table has crayons, pencils, scissors, glue sticks, and whatever else I deem necessary. 

That's all I have pictures of for now! :)
