and so it begins...{classroom setup!}

Happy Friday!

I'm excited for the weekend, even if I didn't

work all week, ha!

Honestly, I feel like I've had a part-time job

packing and moving to a new school this summer.

I'm not complaining though...it was my choice and

it will definitely be worth it.
I love creating anyways, so designing a new

classroom is fun but also a lot of work {and time}!

I'm just starting to actually put things together in my new

room so it is nowhere near finished, but I thought I'd

share a few pics of my color scheme.

I love the Dots on Turquoise line from Creative Teaching Press.

You might remember from this post last year when I purchased

several of the items in their line. I just love the color combo!

Anyway, I'm using it all again and its really coming together.

I have to thank Melanie from Schoolgirl Style for a lot of my new inspiration

with this line. She is amazing! She used the line in her

carnival themed classroom which you can check out here.

Here's a pic I took with my phone of some of the boards in my

room. I even tried the valance look on my windows with

wrapping paper and border that Melanie use.

I think it turned out cute!

 

 

 I'll be adding more pictures to my "classroom" page

as I make more progress.

Anyone else a fan of Dots on Turquoise?

I love getting new ideas about how to use the products

so leave me an idea, link to photo, etc. if you also

use it in your classroom.

Since I'm sharing a pic of my new word wall, here's a sneak

peek of what I've been working on.

My move to first grade this year prompted me to brainstorm

how I can get my firsties to learn their sight words...and enjoy it!

 

 

 I'm hoping this baby will be done soon and I can share with you

how this system works and how I'm setting it up in my classroom.

 

I'm off to watch the Olympics!
