Progress

I was able to get some work done on my room today. I told Manny I didn't feel like I'd done much but he said that I did. 

Ok so before pictures...

And what I got done today...

This is my corner with my computer and desk. I pull the kids for guided reading at the kidney shaped table.

This is the bulletin board where I put the "Star Student of the Week" poster. I choose a different kid each week to create a poster about himself/herself. It is on this bulletin board all week long.

 This is the corner for our classroom library. The rug is flipped over because I just painted the little stools green so they are still wet. I am going to put a background in the classroom library and see how it looks.

 This wall has our classroom computers. Each classroom has four student computers. The green boxes on the blackboard are for the word wall. 

 This is our meeting place. Clearly it's still a work in progress.

 The back corner is the writing station. I am going to put different types of paper in the blue mailbox. The green buckets are the kids' book boxes. Later in the year their book boxes will be full of books!!!

These shelves have everything for math stations and literacy stations.

Obviously I still have furniture to move around and rearrange. I am still thinking about what will go on the back bulletin board and the bulletin board above my desk. Lots to think about and I only have one week. EEEKKKK! Manny said we can go back tomorrow and he will study while I work. Today he was studying while I worked, but he helped me move some of the heavy furniture. He also got distracted when I gave him a bucket of legos :-) That bucket of legos made the trip home with us. Haha!

We were going to take Muñeca to school with us, but it was a good thing we didn't. We were both super hungry when I got to a stopping point, so we went to eat. We also went to Home Depot to see if there was a way to rig our patio fence so Muñeca can stay on the patio while we are at work. We saw some lattice and some garden fence stuff. I told Manny that I would be worrying all day about someone taking her... So we are still thinking of what to do. She may have to come to school with me :-) I am sure the kids won't mind!

Ok now it's time to go finish my projects. Almost done! I can't wait to share them.
