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!
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?
here is my classroom. (Make sure you read to the end for a surprise!)
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.

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.
