Changing Classrooms (and grades) ...Again

Well it's June and here I am getting ready to to head over to school to do some more unpacking! As most everyone knows, Mrs. Crosby is moving the Cool Cats to 2nd grade next year. It's a lot of work getting a classroom in order from scratch, but I am excited for some new decorations, designs and a new space. 

This is what the classroom looks like right now: 

The view when you walk in the door.
How did I get so much stuff!!!

The view from the back of the room looking towards the door.
You can see my old fashioned desk that Mrs. Smiley gave me.

Looking at the back corner of the room.
These are the "soft comfies" my students love to use during Daily 5.
I have to remember to sew a few seam rips in them before the school year begins!

Looking at the mountain of stuff from a different view.
This will be "the back of the room" when I am done.

Looking out from over my desk. Yikes!

And finally, the GORGEOUS window I now have.
I will be making curtains this summer.
I think curtains make a room more comfortable. 

Hopefully after today I will have made some good progress and will have updated classroom pictures to share!
