Spring Cleaning

The title is an understatement.  My classroom is getting a make-over thanks to inspiration from Reagan Tunstall.  This woman is seriously my idol!!!!!!!!!!!  I am obsessed with every lesson she shares.  Plus, her classroom is amazing.  These blogs are igniting my creative spark in teaching.  I feel like I did when I first started this profession.  I feed off this stuff!

The process to get there is a struggle.  I am cleaning out everything.  Reorganizing is a teacher's biggest feat. I'm looking forward to moving all the furniture around to get a fresh new look.  I also plan on getting little ottomans for my classroom, more pillows, a real mailbox (right now I have one made out of a milk carton... not durable enough!), big bins from Target's lawn and garden section, lamps, and hopefully finding another area rug for my room.  Over the summer I will be laminating, labeling, and planning for the next batch of kids.  I love having more time to do everything over the break.  I want to make a leveled library in addition to my already themed library.  Grouping my leveled readers are also going to need to happen.  OOOOO and I have this idea to get Hawaiian fabric to create a theme in my classroom.

SO. MUCH. TO. DO!

For now... this is what I'm working with...

I might have made a mess.

Break's over!
