I'm on my way to sunny Florida as you read this because I'm finally on break! Since I am so excited to be on vacation, I thought I'd pass some happiness your way too! Here's what is in store for this week:
1. Tour of my classroom
2. Giveaways with each post
While I'm away, I thought I'd share different parts of my classroom with you. I started blogging right after school started in the fall and didn't get a chance to share my room with all of you. I will probably change it again before next year (I love to re-arrange!) so here are some pictures (and explanations) of how it looks now.
This is what you see when you walk in:
To your left...
And here is the back wall...
Yes, I have a HUGE classroom and I don't ever take that for granted! Some of the upper grades in my school have much smaller rooms (and more kids).
I have a very open floor-plan this year because I have a kiddo who uses a wheelchair/crutches/walker. I need there to be enough space for her to move about independently in the room.
I'm working on adding color to my room. I like things to be bright and welcoming! I also can't function if there is a mess, so my room is neat, neat, neat! I've even trained my kids to be as obsessive compulsive and organized as me!
Speaking of organization...today's giveaway is My Blogging Calendar! I created this to help me organize my blog posts and TpT/TN sales. There's just so much to do and I always forgot when I get to my computer!
Come back soon to learn more about my classroom and to enter to win another giveaway!
Ahh! Your room is SUPER cute and SO big. I love it! Have fun on your vacation!

This calendar looks like exactly what I need to get organized!! My goal for the summer is to get blogging more & possibly open up a TpT shop. :)

We must be similar! I teach my kiddos to be just as organized and obsessive compulsive as I am too! :)

What part of Florida are you headed to? Glad you're on break this week and not 2 weeks ago whe we headed down. Traffic was HORRENDOUS...a 6 1/2 hr trip took over 10 hours going and coming. Hopefully, there won't be much traffic for you.
ReplyDeleteLove your big room!

OMG I totally need your blog planner. You are very organized. I love how your classroom looks. I would never be able to post pictures of my own classroom.
