First Real Day In My Room :)

Monday was my first full day in my classroom!  It felt good to get a start with getting my room together, even though I feel like all I did was move things from 20 different spots just to move them back LOL.  My fellow teachers keep telling me that's how it'll be for a while.

Today was FULL of meetings.  First thing in the morning we had a faculty meeting that lasted until lunch, and then after lunch we had a grade level meeting that lasted until the end of the day!  Needless to say, I was beat.  Plus I got no time to spend in my room (serious sad face), but hopefully tomorrow will be better and I'll get some time to really get set.

Seeing as I'm really exhausted (I have to get used to this whole getting up early thing hehe), I'm going to leave you with some pictures of my classroom so far.  Please keep in mind that this is just a start and I will load more pictures as I make more progress.

**Special thanks to my husband and little brother for coming to help me for a little while in the afternoon :)**

General Classroom Layout Pictures

 Below is my brother building a wire rack which he had a few fights with before figuring it out...

 And my wonderful husband putting legs on my bookcase so it would be steady over the two different floors...

 Here's myself doing inventory of my books for my library...

 They were so helpful!!!!

Social Studies board....

 Reading board....

 Reading center/ book recommendation bulletin board....

 Showing my UCF spirit...always know I have a KNIGHT in my corner :)

 Parts of speech super hero poster generously given to me by another teacher...I'm going to put them straight up and down instead of angled...

 As you enter my classroom...I'm going to do something else on the door (will post pics when I finish it).

 Yay for keys and an official name tag!!!  They put Ms. instead of Mrs. by accident, but I'm ordering a new one :)
