2011-2012 Classroom (Still Under Construction)

I can't thank everyone enough for the kind words the past few weeks. I was honestly thinking of completely stopping the bloggy world, but I just can't. I can't give up the sharing, the learning, everything. No matter what negative people may be out there. I'll be back tomorrow or Sunday with more of an update, but I wanted to get these pictures posted, because I had some people asking. I need to take some better pictures, but these will have to do for now! The room wasn't totally finished at this point, but a lot of stuff was dunzo. Again, THANK YOU, for all being so amazing, wonderful, positive... EVERYTHING :)

{finishing touch to the room, can't believe I found these}

Like I said, it's not all finished yet, it still needs a lot more. Things have also already been moved around and it's only a week into school. Not to mention LOTS of stuff still needs labeling desperately! More to come soon. Thank you again to everyone. Love all of my bloggy supporters!!

  54. I LOVE your classroom! I really can't believe how you tied your stripes into just about everything.
    I don't have my own classroom , so I have to get really creative about organization in my closet (yes, my desk is literally in a closet) and then the little shelving spaces that I have in the classrooms that I push into. I got some great ideas from you! Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Can I have your room? I am going to be a future educator and let me tell you, you have inspired me for when I get my first room and can decorate (hopefully) however I want it! Your room is truly amazing and I hope each and every one of your students truly appreciates it! You must be one loved teacher! One of the things I really like is the birthday bucket! SUCH a cute idea! LOVEEEE!

  56. I have an old ugly desk in my classroom that needs something done to it in the worst sort of way. I am going to use your idea with the fabric. Please tell me how you attached it. Thanks
