Updates!

So I have a few updates!

First, I hope you noticed the new blog design. 

Thanks to my sister-in-law, I am learning how to make my blog my own!

She made my header. Don't you love it??

Second, I spent a solid five hours in my classroom today.

I stopped at Walmart and got my kids' journals and Writer's Workshop folders.

I got over 64 notebooks and 32 folders for $10 and some change.
Nearly 17 cents a piece people!

I had fun laying the materials on each desk.

I can't wait to get the finalized list so I can start labeling everything :]

I then made some small changes to the class layout.

For example, I moved this huge shelving unit of math tools that was near our small group center 

to behind my small group area. I think I like it better there :]

Then I played around with some new wall decor by the door. 

Not sure if I love it, but it was fun to try out.

The letters aren't straight...

Definitely a work in progress! 

Do you like the pom poms on the wall?

I used the same tutorial I used to make the Caterpillar, but just didn't "fluff" one side.

I then used a push pin to secure it to the wall.

And lastly, I found a place to live this fall. 

That takes a lot of stress off!

Excited for all things to come :]
