Getting there...

I've been working more and more as the time closes in on the first week of school. Getting things done although the work seems very slow at times! Bulletin boards are about finished, wall decorations up, and new carpet in place! Just look at the progress.....

Made my own scrunchy boarder for bulletin boards this year. It was kind of time consuming, but I love the results!

Can't wait for us to all be up front on this great carpet compliments of a dear friend. I really like having all my students on the floor up front with me, but sorry guys, I will be in a chair or it would take many of you to get me up....about the time Dr. Theo walked in!!! :)

Ready for small groups with our new math voacabulary up and ready!

We are going to have LOTS of great times this year so for now, it is time to close this post and get to school! More to do....



Getting ready.....Will you be one of my students?

It is about two weeks before school starts and if you are going to be one of my new students I want you to know I am thinking about you already! I am planning for you and getting things ready and figuring out how we can all have a great fifth grade year! I worked in our room the other day and while I made some progress, I think I also made a bigger mess than when I started!

I am excited about the new year! Many changes and lots to look forward too. Here is a picture of the project I finished the other day.

This is where we are going to hang all the great work you will be doing this year! Won't your paper look awesome in one of those frames?  I am also working on a project for hanging papers in the hall but it is not finished yet. You will have to stay in touch for that picture....but then you don't even know I am here yet! You will soon! I love you all already. Hope you keep enjoying your last few weeks of summer and are excited about the new year!

This is what the rest of our room looks like now....some progress!

I am counting the days till I meet you and your parents! It is going to be an AWESOME year!
