Back to School, Back to School...

Back to school??  What?


... is it really ALREADY August?  Summer was wonderful and some great times were had... but it will be so nice to get back into a routine!

So many exciting things happening this week as I get my ROOM ready!  I love classroom prep and organizing.  It is my favorite thing to do after a nice, long, restful summer.

This year, I'm going with a neutral, calming color pallet.  I went with powder blue, black, and white.  I mostly mixed black and white prints with a powder blue background.  I think it looks great, and I'm REALLY happy with how it's progressing!  Here are some projects I've been working on -

Inspiration wall/turn-in baskets



Book Recommendations/Anchor Charts


Word Wall


Inspiration posters


Curtains/WRITE letters

I still have a lot planned - I'm looking to create a storage system for my students' writing supplies.  I also would like to figure out a good configuration for student desks.  I got rid of a LOT of furniture at the end of last year to have more space for my students to move around.  I am hoping that this will lead to better space for book clubs and group projects.

I will post more in the coming days as my projects come together.

Hot glue, markers, and printed paper,
