Classroom Update...Pictures!

So I know I have kept you all waiting to see some of the "after" pictures of my new classroom.  I have been working my fingers to the bone.  And of course I am not completely finished.  I have had some real fun mishaps, and some crazy DIY (more on that later).  But, here are some pictures of my new room.  More will follow in the next few days I hope ; )

This is my first bulletin board I finished.  I used the

Whole Brain Teaching rules.  Love them!

This is my calendar area.  I still have to add the days 

of the week, but I found this great wrapping paper

in the closet and had to use it.  

This is the bulletin board I will use to introduce

new books and themes.

I used some more wrapping paper and colored duct 

tape on my desk and filing cabinet area.  I am still

organizing this, as you can see.  

My Word Wall

And this is my kitchen area, with my homemade

window, and my show off board ; )  I have to get a 

few more close pins.  I ran out. 

Can't wait to share the rest with you in the next few days.  Hope this helps others, as much as looking at other's rooms helps me, get great ideas.
