My new batch of first graders came bouncing through the door on Monday. Whew.. it has been a hard week. You forget just how hard it is to “train” a new class and how much time is spent on procedures and routines.  I hope they quickly forget how bad these first days of rules, rules, rules are and will remember the fun we have the rest of the year. The new group is chatty and a few are having a hard time adjusting. But, the positive side is they are REALLY cute, and smart and have fun little personalities. I am REALLY looking forward to getting set into a routine and settling in with this class. This first week has FLOWN by! But I am ready for the weekend!

Here is my door and hall bulletin board for this year.

The colors are from Graphics From the Pond.

This is a bulletin board that is inside my room. I usually use this for art projects or student work- but I always decorate it for the beginning of school. I made the apple from wrapping paper from Hobby Lobby.

         

Monday morning one of my new student’s grandmother stopped by with this HUGE donation to our class. Can you believe this? She was so generous to me and the kids. Look at all these goodies! She is a retired school teacher so she understands our needs! Love love love!

Next week is Blog Hoppin’s Teacher Week. You can read all about it and grab buttons HERE {or click the button above!}
