A Peek Inside My Classroom

Hi, friends!

So after taking almost 2 years off to be home with my sweet baby girl, I am venturing back into the classroom!!  I am so excited to be going back to what I love - teaching children!

I spent 5 years in first grade and this year, I will be teaching second!  I am excited about this new "venture".  At least I'm still at the same school I was at before!

My new classroom was a MESS!  The teacher who was in there previously retired.  She left a lot of stuff behind.  And a lot of it was really old!  I have been working in my room off and on over the summer and I am just now getting finished with going through all her stuff and throwing out what I didn't want and organizing what I did want!  It was no small task, that's for sure!

So I wanted to give you a little peek at what I went into.  These are the BEFORE pictures!  The room already looks SO much better since I've been working in there!  I can't wait to share the after pictures with you (once I get the room all put together)!

Yeah....it was a mess in there!  But I am so proud of the progress I've made so far!  Like I said, I can't wait to be done with it and show you the finished product!

Until then......enjoy the rest of your summer!!

  2. How many garbage bags have you gone through? I am still going through stuff in the classroom I moved into 3 years ago. The teacher had been teaching K for 30 plus years. Good Luck and can't wait to see what you have done!

    1. OMG, girl....I lost count! Hahaha. I'll have to take a picture of the "common area" on Monday and post a pic of it. The whole floor is FULL of trash and crap that we have collectively thrown out! It's so ridiculous how much stuff these people were hoarding in these tiny classrooms! LOL. I can't wait to get it done!! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
