Well, after several weeks of prepping my classroom with the most awesome help possible, its done! When I first walked into my room, I realized I had more on my plate than I had thought. I had quite a few things to haul out, before hauling my stuff in. So my mom helped me clean out the cabinets and wipe down the shelves. But we only made a dent in the heaps of my stuff. But it was a good start! The next day Aunt Marti came in and we dove in head first into my library, which looked like an F-5 hit it. Liz came in a few times as well to help me out in any way possible. Thank goodness for the help of my family or else I probably just would have packed a pillow and a sleeping bag and camped out in my room for a week. I just do not have a clue how I could thank them enough or repay them for all of their help and support. They are AWESOME!
So tomorrow is the day that I have planned for all summer. It's the first day of school! I am extremely excited, yet scared. I am very nervous, but a good nervous. I just keep telling myself, its sink or swim baby. With all of the hard work put into my room, I feel confident that my students are going to be able to learn in the best possible environment. I am sure that my room will grow over this school year, and I cant wait to decorate it with students work. Thats the best kind of art work. (I swear! ) Well, I will keep updating everyone on how school is going, and how I am surviving surrounded my first graders. ;)
Finally I can see my office floor :)
Day 1: Bulletin Boards finally are up
Such a mess!
