A Tiny Bit of Progress...

I started off the day by packing up my car and heading to the teachers store. I found cute borders but one, they were out of and the other they only had two packs left. I bought those two, but I'm a bit worried that half my room is going to have that border and the rest will be unfinished because they won't get more in. We'll see! I had to get it though, because it was so cute! I worked in my classroom for a few hours after that.  I was working the whole time but didn't seem to get anything visibly done.

I unpacked a few boxes and got some paper and borders up on the wall. By late afternoon, I found myself moving things around from one location to another, so I decided it was probably time to go. Not so productive! I also have a shelf in the closet dedicated to stuff I will "deal with later". That's probably a bad thing to start...haha.

I brought my classroom rug today and it's taking up a good chunk of the classroom...I'm starting to wonder where the student tables will go!


Boxes!
Something I realized today...when I packed up my old room, I labeled nearly all my boxes as "miscellaneous"...makes it really difficult to unpack and organize!
Starting to get things in the small closet.

I finished mostly all of the tops of the bulletin boards around the room today.

Tomorrow I will head back to get a few more things done, like getting paper up on the bigger bulletin boards. I'll be glad to have that part done...papering the boards is the worst part!

By the way, my "theme" this year is aqua, lime, and black, with some polka dots sprinkled in. :) I got a bunch of cute polka dot labels for lockers and labeling materials today...can't wait to use that stuff!

  1. I know you are switching rooms and I have been fortunate to have the same room, but instead of using paper each year to cover your bulletin boards, you can use fabric. I have used the same fabric for my room, since my second year. I saw a pin on Pinterest with the idea of using the plastic table cloths too. Just a suggestion for the future!
