And the work begins...

I started working on getting my classroom unpacked and put together this week while my son was at football camp. I have found so many cute ideas on how to decorate and organize my room and can't wait to implement them.

So here is what my room looked like on Monday:


I wish I had taken a picture of my room, mainly the floor on the last day of school. My floors were in terrible shape from the kids moving around in the chairs. I got rid of desks and went to tables last year and the chairs wreaked havoc on my floors. So this year I bought used tennis balls (not the most attractive solution). My wonderful hubby helped me cut all the balls and put them on my chairs and tables. (Notice - the tables are in place, but there is still a huge mess).



My daughter decided to help me organize my books. She spread them all out and alphabetized them. Wish they would last that way more than the first week of school.



My goal is to have my room completely put together before we report back August 15 and still be able to enjoy the last part of my summer.

How is your room coming along?
