Classroom Reveal!

I've been working, working, working all week on my new second grade classroom. As usual, I kept with my candy theme, but really tried hard to keep it simple and clean appearing. Here are some pics:

 This is my room from the door. It looks pretty simple, but once the little people get here it will be full of fun and excitement!

My blank bulletin boards! I always start my year off with blank boards. Before you know it, they will be filled with anchor charts and evidence of learning!

This is my guided reading table/area. I keep my sets of books in the colorful drawers. I also use this area as my desk. Above the blue bulletin board it says, "reading is thinking"... taken from the all time best book ever written! 

 Last, but not least... my newly painted chevron bookshelf! Isn't this the cutest? I love it! One of the girls at my church painted it and it makes me happy every time I see it.

I Was So Close...

I almost did it... I almost survived the month of July without buying school supplies! Oh how the primary colored displays and crisp new notebooks call out to me... Buy me! Buy me! Well, I really did make it until yesterday. But I do have to say once I let loose I went a little crazy! 
Here are some of my buys:

Is this cute or what? It is a vinyl curtain from Ikea ($14)! We can't hang curtains, so I'm not sure what it's purpose is going to be, but I just couldn't leave the store without it!

Speaking of IKEA... I also couldn't leave the store without this orange polka dot rug. The best part is that it was only $19! 

My next stop was Hobby Lobby for this really cute chevron fabric. I can't wait to see my bulletin boards this year! 

Last but not least... Mod Podge! Why? I don't know, I just thought I needed it. Maybe one of my crafty friends will teach me how to use it!

Binder Covers Anyone?

What teacher doesn't have a million binders? I made some cute binder covers in polka dot and chevron to help keep us organized! Just add your initals or subject area. I even got some team spirit and included a red and black UGA cover and my favorite ORANGE and BLUE Auburn colors. Hope you enjoy the freebie! Binder cover freebie

Are you ready for... Back to school?

I feel like I've been running around like crazy preparing to go back to the second grade classroom! I love second grade, but you know how it is changing grade levels... My most recent creation is labels. I LOVE labels! I will have labels in all different sizes ready "just in case". Here are some chevron labels I've been working on:
