Back to School

I'm back! Teacher work week started last Monday. And Monday-Wednesday the entire third grade team were sitting ducks as our classrooms were still under construction. Thursday morning was the first day we could get into our rooms. Our bulletin boards didn't get put up until Saturday morning and I've worked a total of 42 hours in the last 5 days, (well 4 days, I didn't go in on Sunday) trying to get my classroom ready. My poor fiance has met "back to school Jessica" and I'm hoping he still wants to marry me after seeing me turn into a drill sargent barking orders at him when he came to help me in my classroom.

The Before- Thursday
















The After- Monday

  5. They are trapezoid desks that fit together in a group of four. They take up a lot of space. Not sure if I like them yet.

  10. This is the first time I have ever left a comment on someone's blog... I love the way you set up your room! It looks great. I especially like your reading bulletin board display about good reading habits, features of non-fiction, and summarizing. Where did you get those? Did you make them?
