Last Day to Work in the Classroom Before "They" Arrive...

I got as much done as I could today as far as decorating and organizing my classroom goes. Oy. It's not really as done as I'd like it to be, but actually, only myself and one other teacher have even been at the school to work on them (there's five of us). So, I guess I should feel accomplished. I doubt I'll be able to do any work in the classroom on Monday, and school starts Tuesday. Well, here goes!

I wanted ya'll to see what I've been working on all week, so here are some shots of my classroom! ** Please note... all the paper on the walls was done by me, there were no borders available so I hand cut ALL of the borders for the room.. everything was hand made... **



This is the front of my classroom!



I cannot tell you how hard it was to make that color wheel.. it was.. difficult.



I spent about $15 on those three white cubes on the counter for my TA Eva, she had no space for her own things so I thought it would be nice to have some personal organization, she was so happy she gave me a hug. :oP



My class rules. You can't really read them, but they're pretty much like "be respectful and always speak in English". My boss said that the font was too small, but I have limited wall space and I didn't want a whole wall of rules that the kindergarteners can't even read, right? Meh.



Classroom door.



Days of the week! I did the same on the other side of the whiteboard with the months of the year. The school doesn't have an actual calendar for me to do 'calendar time' with the kindergarteners, how are they supposed to understand a year or a month or a week if they can't see it? I REALLY don't want to make a whole calendar every month... Something I'm working on.

Also, I just wanted to throw in some fun pics from the past couple of weeks.

Milkshake, woohoo!



Eww! And he told me I should give it a hug!
