My classroom

My daughter was with me at Meet the Teacher and took a couple of shots of part of my classroom. As you can see, even with all the storage, my big stuff has to stack on top of the lockers. Here's the magnets that I made with my Cricut as well. I cut the butterflies from DCWV Nana's Kids pack papers and then added the info on each, laminated them and stuck a magnet on the back. Then the parents could take them and put them on their fridges at home. Most parents seemed to love the idea.

Back to school

I've spent the last week with my daughter (and occasionally my son and husband) fixing up my room for the coming school year. Friday was our first "offical" day back as teachers. We had a "welcome back" meeting in the morning and then in the afternoon we worked in our rooms. My teaching partner and I mapped out our first three weeks of lessons and set our schedule for the year.

My room is nearly finished. I have a couple of little things to finish and I'll be ready for Meet the Teacher Night next Friday.

I do need to get out my Cricut and cut some shapes for magnets. My teaching partner had the best idea. Make magnets to match your room theme and put your name, school phone, e-mail address and conference times on it for parents to keep handy all year long. I have "Goin' Buggy" theme this year, so I need to look for something in my Cricut carts to go with that. Butterflies, maybe?

I'll take pics and post them of the finished room soon.
