Back to School...

Well, I hate to say it, but it officially feels like summer is coming to a close. I have all this week and next week off, but then I have a full week of orientation before professional development days the following week. I am going to start popping into school over the next two weeks to start getting things set up!

I went into school today to work with two of the girls on my new team and it got me excited for the year. Even though I am stressed about the number of things I need to accomplish and the too-few-days to do it all,  I'm excited to get in my new room and organize!

I popped my head into my room for a minute today and the wood floors had been polished and were super shiny. The school is so cute and traditional. It sounds corny, but when I pictured becoming a teacher as a little girl, this is pretty much how I pictured it!

Storage is an important thing to teachers and my last classroom was seriously lacking in storage space. I can't tell you how in love I am with my closet space this year. I actually have two closets and one of them looks like this:

Walk in closet!!!!!!!! It's hard to photograph because it's such a skinny space, but there is more shelving to the right that you can't see. Since I was last at school, all the shelves have been cleaned and put into place and are ready to go. Organizational Dream!!!

In the next few weeks, I'll post some before and afters. I am seriously starting from scratch this year! All my stuff is currently residing in the garage. Can't wait to get it out of there! 

Have a great week, everyone!
