I am very excited about the first day of the 2015-2016 school year on Monday,
August 24th!
Since the beginning of August, I have
been preparing for
the arrival of this year's first grade class. A few weeks ago, Mrs.
Becerra (3rd grade teacher) and I went on our annual school supply shopping trip. Our carts
were filled with markers, crayons, supply boxes, pencils,
erasers, folders, binders and notebooks. Many people were curious
about why we were buying 20+ of each item!
I have been working in our classroom for the
past few weeks organizing,
decorating, and planning for the school year! I have also found even more ways to add polka dots (my favorite pattern) to the
classroom decor. This year, I've added a polka dot word wall, a polka dot happy birthday display, and polka dot numbers. I also have a new polka dot calendar and weather set. I am working on adding a few more polka dot things before my new students come!
Next week, I will be
putting the finishing touches on the classroom so that it is ready for August 24th. I can't wait until my new first graders see their new classroom!
