Classroom Set-up

Here’s how my classroom looks the first week of school (from last year).  Quite a transformation!

Notice that the plant takes up half my desk.   I know, it’s fake, but it’s so pretty!  It makes me feel like Ferdinand the Bull sniffing his flowers in the bull ring—very, very calming!

Empty Classroom – Planning for Class Set-up

 I’m setting up my classroom for the first day of school.  Would you like to take a look? 

I’m always amazed at how a huge pile of boxes and bags “magically” transforms into a welcoming space; chaos into order; clutter into flowing feng shui. 

Oh, it’s magic, and tons of planning, and heavy lifting!
