It’s a new dawn, A new day…

And, I’m feeling good….
Y’all, I am so excited about my new blog design. I mean, I big puffy heart love it. I hope you love it as much as I do… probably not but I hope you like looking at it. Haha! BIG shout out to Erin at Creating & Teaching for totally bringing my vision to life! 


If you are new to my blog, please “Meet the Teacher” by clicking HERE.

I am also super excited to show you my classroom. This is a first…I am
completely FINISHED with cleaning, organizing, and preparing my room BEFORE I
go back on contract (which is Monday). Shut the front door, right?! I did some
serious cleaning and chunking of crap the past two weeks. This year, less is more. Mission organization is underway!

A
few months ago, Carson Dellosa contacted me and wanted to share one of their
new themes with my classroom. Since I had already done the jungle theme, I decided to
branch out and chose Moose and Friends. Can I tell you that I just LOVE it?! I
love the colors and the cuteness (Yes, I am a cute lover, guilty!). I also added several other CD elements including camping borders, bird name plates, word wall letters, owl READ signs, etc. It all looks so good together! I swear if I didn’t hate sleeping on the floor, I would have totally put up a tent and parked my trailer over night just so I could spend more time in my finished room. I mean, that has never happened and I didn’t shed one tear in the process. Seriously, did you see pigs fly or something? 
So, without further adieu,
here is my classroom. (Make sure you read to the end for a surprise!) 
I realize that many people don’t have home living or blocks anymore, which is total sadsville, but I do. It’s part of free choice and not necessarily part of our academic day but I do think tons of learning goes on in there! I don’t have a kitchen, just a basket of goodies but it’s enough to get those little imaginations going. We use the block center during math for lots of stuff. It really is an asset.

 I would have totally gotten rid of my desk this year but we aren’t allowed to so mine is against the wall being used for storage. This, on the other hand, is my teacher table which is where I park my trailer for guided reading and conferencing. I love Carson Dellosa’s reading reminders board sets. It has great visuals for me to reference during guided reading. I bought the stools from IKEA. Love!

 So, what do you think? You can see how my classroom looked last year by clicking here. 

Are you ready for more good news? Carson Dellosa has so kindly offered to send one of my readers a Moose and Friends set (which does not include everything in my room because I added much more). You may already be back in school, but it is never too late to add some of this cuteness. So, I MOOSE ask you, do you love FREE stuff? Haha! Lame, I know. Enter below (there are several chances to enter). Winner will be chosen by Saturday, August 17th at 12:00 a.m. CST.

    As a former kindergarten, now first grade teacher, I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am to see that you still have a housekeeping and block center. Please continue to include this VERY important part of their kindergarten year.

    What a great new blog design. Your classroom isn't too shabby either! 🙂 I especially like the reading center with the cute little chairs and rainbow rug. Good job!

    Your new blog and your classroom look fantastic! I love how large your room is and that you are full day kindergarten so you can still fit in some free choice. I miss that! Maybe next year…
    Have a great start to your new year!
    Andrea 🙂

    So hard to choose just one thing. I love the Moose and Friends decorations – I had thought about using them, but them made my own turtles (crazy lady here). I also love how you utilize the student cubbies. I have cubbies like that under my word wall. I've always used it for storage. Never thought of using them that way!

    I love how inviting your room looks – all happy colors – lots of room.. It's obvious that you spend lots of time planning how you want your room to look then lots more time building that look.

    I was thinking of changing my owls to something woodsy. I love the moose on the bulletin board. Maybe next year I'll have the same theme as you. 🙂

    Love your new blog design. It is so cute! Your classroom is adorable as well. I am so glad that you do still have the blocks and the home living. Kinders need to PLAY! Hope you have a wonderful year!

    Love your classroom AND your new blog design! I have home center and blocks in my classroom too…in fact, our "center time" has been extended this year in order to allow for creativity. I LOVE the Moose and Friends theme…my classroom mascot is a moose! (haha)

    I love your reading nook set up. This is the first year I will have a shelf like yours to house the books we are currently reading, usually I use the whiteboard ledge, so it was nice to see yours set up and with the chairs was a cute touch.

    I love your library area, the rug is so cute with the little chairs. So cozy and inviting. Love having a home center and blocks in my classroom. They are so creative when in these centers.
