Classroom Progress

Last week I went into my new classroom to get some things done. I know, I know...a lot of you may be thinking, "It's summer...don't go into school! Enjoy the last few weeks off!"  Part of me feels like that too, but the other part feels way less anxious knowing that I have gotten a few things completed off my giant to-do list!

My main goals were to move my things into the new room and get them mostly put away, begin thinking about classroom set-up, and to get the bulletin boards done. While simultaneously trying to entertain my baby, I got most of these things done!

You'll just have to believe me when I say that the above picture documents progress. I know it looks like a mess!

 I love how the bulletin boards turned out! I'll have to take more pictures the next time I go in.

From home, I also worked on finishing up a pacing guide to keep me organized this year. It'll be a very handy tool for me to keep long-term planning in mind.  It looks a little something like this:

This week I plan to go in a few times to get some more projects done including:

* Organizing my classroom library
* Setting up guided math/reading/writing/lesson plan binders
* Finishing back to school letter to parents

Little by little, it will all get done. I hope! :)

What's on your to-do list for back to school?
