Just call me Mizzzzz

As I posted earlier in the summer, I started teaching a new grade at a new school this year. Although I miss my old co-workers so much, I have found teaching at this new school to be a really rewarding experience. Those crazy kids have given me my share of stress, don't get me wrong. It could be said that they have driven me to drinking. Would this t-shirt be inappropriate professional attire? Maybe it would send a solid message.

When I first got into my classroom, all I could think about was how happy I was to have central heat and air (it's the little things in life). But, alas, it's not all there is. My mom and sister came up to help me get everything ready in my room. That involved chalkboard painting much of the back wall, and painting a great bookshelf for my classroom library. I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seats, so here are the photos!

Half of my beloved classroom library. It has real, fancy basket labels now, as opposed to Post-its. Perhaps I'll remember to take you an updated picture.

View as you walk in the door.

Look to the left as you walk in, and you see this fabulous sight. The desks are in groups now, if anyone cares.

View from my desk in the back. Do you know YOUR proper editing marks?
