2012-2013 Classroom Tour & First Day!

They came, I taught, they learned, we bonded, there was a heat advisory schedule which is in full effect until at least 8 p.m. tomorrow night, we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, we sang about the Place Value Families (super cute song from The Mailbox), and there were 33 students and 1 teacher who made it through the very first day of school!

Now, these photos were taken @ 6 p.m. last night, when I finally felt like my room looked like it had come together before the children had to be taught a lil something or two as 4th graders.  Mind you, I've spent waaayy more of my personal time setting up my room than professional time because we've been trapped in 14 hours of meetings during a paid time of 24 hours, go figure!  Apparently professional development is more important than classroom setup, meet the teacher prep, and grade level planning time.

There's Room 36, with everything our district mandates we have on our walls except I'm missing the Preamble to the Constitution --- still waiting on my admin to get that one over to me!  Happy New School Year!
