Cool Changes!

The other classrooms in the school all have insect-related names, or other animal names. One of the administrators and I decided that my class should do likewise. After some brainstorming, we came up with the Beatle Bugs! I picked the spelling so I can do Beatles related bulletin boards and decorations. Is it sad that I already have the first three months' bulletin boards planned out?

I also found out today that I am getting a real classroom! While I enjoyed having the space of the gym, I did not enjoy the noise, plus it gave the kids that much room to run around. I'm looking forward to having walls to put bulletin boards on, as well as storage space, something I don't have much of in my current classroom.

Thursday is Meet the Teacher night. I've gotten my September newsletter ready, as well as a list of the class rules, updated yearly calendar, circle time routine, and next week's lesson plan.

Friday is a teacher inservice. I'll be moving my stuff to the new room! There's already furniture in there, it's just the toys and supplies I'll be moving, as well as redecorating. I'm very excited!
