Organization

I just want to say how thankful I am that through my first year of teaching, I didn't get the usual sickness (well, hardly). However, I didn't expect that the trade off would be that I get sick the first week after summer starts! :( So while I am trying to fight off this cold/flu or whatever this is, I will update with what I have done in my classroom so far (which sadly, isn't much).

Almost everything is put away and organized! Yay me! I will probably go through everything one more time, but it's all put in boxes with labels.

I also inherited this cute little writing desk that I plan on putting in my writing corner, which is going to look a lot like Ms. Lemon's (a woman who I have recently come to admire!)

And Finally, I got this idea from another blog (which I can't remember with my sick brain right now) and I am excited to not have to lift a heavy stack of construction paper every time I want a black or white piece! The paper is just separated by hanging file folders. So neat! :) Well, I think so anyways. It's the little things, ya know. :)

Now, I am going to try and go to sleep early. Yes, at 8:00. Let's hope this works, cause I have more work to do in my classroom tomorrow! :) 

Let's Give it a Try

Okay, well...I am going to give this whole blogging thing a shot. So summer just started and believe it or not, my vacation is over! The summer camp I work at just started today and with moving rooms and GRADES I feel like there really wasn't much vacation to have in the first place! I can't tell you how excited I am to be teaching the 2nd grade this year. I just started unpacking my room and am thrilled to have everything organized the way I want! Last year I felt so rushed at the beginning of the year that I NEVER got to catch up! Now is my chance to take all summer to get everything set up perfectly! As I start getting decorations up I will start posting pictures. But for now, I am going to browse Pinterest, blogs, and TPT until I can't keep my eyes open anymore!
