About that time...

Well it's that time of year and I've not been working nearly enough to have much ready by the start of the school year, which comes up early in my district, August 8th!  I thought I'd share a little bit about what I've done, and tell you all how excited I am to post some pictures of my classroom!  I've found some really great colorful posters at the dollar store, as well as some neat window clings.  I found the alphabet, dinosaurs, and numbers.  I cannot wait to put up the new posters.  I also found one especially helpful poster for myself, a birthday reminder poster.  I am happy to have found it as I seem to always forget birthdays! I also have some items left over from summer activities/events to decorate my room, specifically artificial daisy chains.  I am very excited and hope to hang them on the ceiling somewhere to brighten things up.  They were pretty inexpensive too.  I am also happy to report that this summer I accomplished my mission of coloring, cutting and gluing together over 80 file folder games!  I still need to laminate and cut out all the pieces, and although it took a long time it was a fun summer project.  I am very excited for the school year to start, if only I could motivate myself to go to my classroom and get things rolling.....
