Back to School 2013-2014



I am very excited to kick off the 2013-2014 school year on Monday, August 26th!
 
Since the beginning of August, I have been preparing for the arrival of this year's first grade class.  I have hit many "back to school" sales and have stocked the students' desks with markers, crayons, supply boxes, pencils, erasers, folders, binders and notebooks.


I have been in our classroom for the past few weeks organizing, decorating, and planning for the school year!  I have also been looking for ways to add even more polka dots (my favorite pattern) to the classroom decor.  Earlier this week, I completed a project that I found on Pinterest.  I gave the students' mailboxes a "makeover".

I also purchased these new pillows for the classroom puzzle table.








Everything is ready! I am anxiously waiting to be joined by my new students! I can't wait until Monday!
