As I type, I am sitting in Nashville, TN, in my brother-in-law's house enjoying family time, but really wishing I was at the baseball field watching my 8 year old son's All-Star team playing baseball in the state tournament. However, because of a monsoon that decided to hit Middle Tennessee in mid-July (which I really am thankful for because we needed the rain) we have not played a game in two days! YUCK!
Now, I am NOT worried ONE BIT about when I am going to get things done in my room. I mean, really, kids DON'T come to school in less than 3 weeks, and I am NOT sitting 2 1/2 hours away from my room. However, I know that family and friends will pull together if I need to and things will be wonderful!
I have been able to get a lot of work done on my classroom - just not IN my classroom - while I am sitting watching the monsoon happen. I am excited about my classroom this year. After my 9 year maternity leave, I am anxious to have my own room this year. Anxious . . . excited . . . nervous . . .you name it, I am probably feeling it. I can't wait to share with you the progress the room has seen, but for now (since there has been no progress made IN the room), I will share with you what I have been creating for the room.
I am doing a chef/bakery theme in the classroom. It was inspired by the Sisters and their CAFE book. That is how I plan on doing my reading this year, so I thought it would be a cute yet "grown up" theme for the third graders that get to be in my room.
Check out my TPT store to see the calendar headings I have made as well as the calendar numbers I have made to go with them. I am super excited about it and can't wait to show you pictures of them actually up on the board!!!!
