Look Ya'll.......My Very First Blog Post!!

Where to begin?!  I'll start by admitting that I have been "blog stalking" (should that be hyphenated?) most of you out there and it's *your* fault I am creating this blog at 9:30 on a Saturday night! :)  I have been addicted to many of your blogs for the past month and can say that I have truly been motivated by all of the *amazing* things I am reading!

THANK YOU (I think......) for inspiring me to enter the world of blogging & I can think of no better way to do so than to post some pics of my Room In Progress.  

 Let the fun begin......

The Teacher's Corner & Promethean Board

Everything is unpacked & furniture is in place!!

Homework chart & Calendar board 

Ooops!  Monday is falling down :)

My teammate & I got rid of student desks 2 years ago and we'll NEVER go back again!

Next week's To Do list includes tackling the teacher's corner & finishing all the decorating!!

Our teacher work week doesn't actually begin until August 29th and the students return on September 6th (read on, haters......) but we go to school until June 15th!!  I started working in my classroom last week because someone (was that ME?) planned our family beach vacay for the week before teacher work week begins.  Duh!  So, I will be spending my last day of summer break driving home from the beach, unpacking, and doing laundry.  If your teacher work week is anything like ours - FULL of meetings & staff development & not a lot of uninterrupted "work in your classroom" time - then you completely understand my need (obsession!!)  to get my room ready early so that I can actually *enjoy* my vacay!!


Well, teacher peeps, it's been a long day and I'm super proud of my first blog post! :)  I look forward to making new "blog friends" and interacting via posts and comments.  Bear with me as I learn the ins and outs of blogging..........and don't forget to click FOLLOW ME before you go!   Sweet Dreams!
