The room is a "Farm" theme and thanks to some very generous friends and family searching through their closets, attics, and checking out thrift stores, it's looking wonderful! And it helps that the custodians at our school are wonderful too! They've been a huge help painting walls and mounting white boards.
I wish I would have taken more "before" pictures, but I don't ever want to remember that giant mess... so here's some of the "almost done" pictures. :)
bulletin board in the hall outside my room - Room 12.
curtains to hide all the distracting things (made by my mother)
valence - also made by my mother :)
Thanks, mom!
calendar wall partially put together & more curtains by mom
other half of the calendar wall
Front of the room "Before" - like how they painted around the bulletin boards?!
Wall? Painted. Board? Centered and hung.
Oh yeah. I'm in business now!
Reading/Rug Teaching Area
Job chart - jobs are listed in the field and students' tractors are placed by their assigned job
It's amazing I got anything done with these three cuties around! I just wanted to play with them instead of cut, clean, and organize. Thanks for your help today, Nicki!
After all that, I'm not sure I'm going in tomorrow... for my own sanity's sake.
Love,
Sarah
AHHH!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I want to go to school in your room!!!!!!!!!!! It looks awesome! So glad Nicki and the girlies could come out to help! What cuties!!!!!! Have fun adding all the finishing touches!!!!! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteBrittany, I kept thinking about how much SINGING would have been done if you were there to help today. Sarah had all kinds of great music playing and there was NO way I was going to sing, but I pictured you and her busting out the moves and the vocals to many songs today!!! I was content cutting things out and trying to keep the girls from breaking things. Sarah~the kids are going to LOVE your classroom, and they are going to LOVE their first grade teacher even MORE!!!
