In love with my classroom!

Well, this isn't so much a post about being a Mrs., but instead a post about being a teacher... :)  Can you blame me?  It's that time of year!  After 6 full days of living in my classroom, it's finished and it's BEAUTIFUL!  Definitely my favorite classroom so far and helps a little to take away the sting of having only three more days of summer...

So, here you go - a classroom tour of my first grade room! I'm THRILLED with how it turned out!!

hallway display.  hours of my life down the drain.
