Let the games begin!

It's almost here!!!!  Our school officially started Thursday, that's when 1st through 5th graders came back to school.  Our district uses those first 2 days of school to meet one on one with kindergarten students and their parents.  I really like having that opportunity to meet with my new darlin's and their parents, answer their questions, and hopefully alleviate some of the anxiety.  Kindergarteners begin Monday...TOMORROW!!!

I put the finishing touches on my room this weekend and finalized some details on my lesson plans this evening.  I can still think of dozens of things I coulda, woulda, shoulda...but all in all I think I'm in a good place.  Here are some pictures of my room before the kiddos come.

This is the view when you come into my classroom.

 

Here is my calendar board / math focus wall.

I opted to forego a traditional teacher desk this year.  This is my small group table and teacher corner.

 

This is looking towards my class library and Reading Street focus board.

 

This is a view of my word wall, birthday poster, job chart, and writing table.  I want to put a skirt around the bottom of the table.  The one I had on last year didn't stay on very good.  Does anyone have a good suggestion??

 

I am so excited to get all my kiddos tomorrow.  I hope that they are excited too.  It should be so much fun!  I don't want to give away all my exciting plans, but I will post tomorrow how everything went...if I'm not too exhausted.  Now if only I can get to sleep tonight!
