My classroom

I had to move classrooms this year. For anyone who has ever done that, you know it's a PAIN! When I walked into my new room, this is what it looked like. Talk about taking your breath away! I was just a bit overwhelmed!
Here are some pictures of indoor recess on a rainy day...you can sort of see the finished classroom. Not to mention my cute class! We are one week in...and it's been pretty great so far!

Here's to a great year!

This guy should be president!
