Classroom 2012-2013

Let me tell you how much of a bad amazing influence Pinterest has been. I loved crafting new items for my classroom this year, and all the ideas made me think, "why didn't I think of that???" I'm starting my 4th year teaching, but I know I am going to keep changing every year, and every day!

I am really excited about starting the new school year in my new school. We had our open house last night, and despite the rain, we had a good turn out. I think that I met almost all of my new class.

Although my classroom is ready for the new school year, I know it is not going to stay the same! I should really take pictures at the end of the year to show how much it changes throughout the year.

First are the pictures before... this is what I walked into....

 From the door, to the back of the classroom...

 Notice the McDonald's Diet Coke... Can't do it without it!

 YAY Smartboard!

 Really useless bookcases?

Here are a few pictures to tour through my room. Let's play how much is from Pinterest! :)
