I am alive…and more class pics!

School.Starts.Monday.
Did you hear me? MONDAY!!!
I’m linking up with Curls a a Smile, Empowering Little Learners,  & Pocket Full of Kinders
to show my room!
We had “Meet the Teacher” last night…I got to meet all of my parents.  So far, I have 18.  I have been working in my room, sitting through meetings, and doing all the millions of things a teacher has to do to get ready for a new year.  I snapped some (awful) pics with my camera phone before I left  (at 7pm) today…hope you enjoy them!
View from my desk…
 My loft area and carpet meeting area
 Calendar
The above is as you come in my door, my letters and sound station…and the below pic is:
  My small group area and station board…idea from Deanna Jump 
(check out my last classroom pics post for details) Notice the mismatched fabric I used to cover the nasty pink chair! lol
 My Squid…that matches the bulletin board, and book, Biggest thing in the Ocean…got the pattern from: LittleLucyLu  Isn’t he cute??
 The above board goes along with my “Question of the Day” listing on TPT and TN
 *MY* books are on the red shelf…
 My listening station
 and on the other side, my writing station…
 My desk..that until the last few days was clean!
 Our pet snake!
 The following two pictures are my “word ceiling”…not wall, because there is no more bare walls space to have one.  So instead, I use push pins to put my word wall words up there…each letter has a ceiling tile.  I’ve only put one up there to start the year…I need to put the kids’ names…great, another thing to add to my list before Monday. =)
 My 5 Bees Promise…stolen from the great blog (and one of my favs) 
First Grader…at Last

    Fire marshal prohibits us from hanging from the ceiling (or putting even letters.) I love your room! I love the ceiling and the bookcase! Love, love, love!

    Your room is seriously adorable. I had never thought about putting the word wall on the ceiling. I think it is genious! I don't think it would fly by my principle but I love it. Good luck on Monday!

    I want to do the same for my 'word ceiling' except I'm a little nervous about the words falling!

    Do you have a solution? Do your words ever fall down?

    I've never had them fall..but I use push pins on at least each end and then one in the middle if it a long word =)

    I love the idea of a word wall ceiling…. I want to ask you though, does it prove to be a lot of work having to climb up there and put the words?

    I only put permanent words up there…like our school name, our students names, etc. Weekly words or spelling words are found in a different location =)
