The classroom is ready, now where are my students? :)

I am getting so excited to start a new year with a new bunch of 2nd grade friends!! Our Open House is Thursday, August 14th from 5:00-6:30, and I am eager to meet all those sweet, smiling faces as get ready for a brand new year of learning! Here is a preview of our classroom for those eager-beavers who can't wait to see what our 2nd grade environment will look like, and I can't wait to fill those seats with kiddos!


What do you think of those tables this year? I was excited to make the switch from desks.

The only thing that will make it better is when there are actually STUDENTS at those tables! :)

Welcome info ready to be handed out at Open House!

Look closely...you might recognize some of those quotes! ;-)
