Check, check and check!

As I sit here and look at my summer time list of school related things to do I am impressed at how much I have been able to check off....and that's while I've been working (3 weeks summer program, 2 weeks curriculum design, 1 week taking care of my younger siblings)!  I just love that feeling of getting stuff done!!!

Today my boyfriend and I cut 15 pieces of wood for crate seats and rounded the corners :)  Earlier this week I went into school and started laying out my room and decorating a bit (with help from the littles).  I am so pleased with what was accomplished and look forward to the finished product.  Check out pictures below!

Here are handy library cards for your classroom library.  Laminate them and use a sharpie marker each month to write the child's reading level.  The child can use it whenever shopping for books.  You could even write logins on the back or use them as book marks.

Here are some pictures of things I've (we've) done:

 Old car chairs that the littles help me reupholstered...LOVE them!

 Chairs in the classroom library

New curtains and chairs

 Organized the nonfiction library (still need to make labels)

 Math Corner with calendar math frames and table manipulatives

Calendar Math for frames

 Start of the word wall

 Wrapping paper adhered to the back of the book shelf

 Bulletin board the littles did with both ribbon and paper borders layered

The back of three filing cabinets made into an extra bulletin board (I only have one real one)

I can't wait to take pictures when it's all complete.
