Classroom Update

So, I spent MUCH of last weekend in my classroom (about 11 hours) but I feel pretty good about my progress thus far...

**I apologize for the poor quality of my pics, they were taken with my phone  AND I didn't take the time to edit them.**

my Word Wall

(Oh My Goodness...the glare from that light is HORRIBLE! Again, my apologies.)

cabinets in my classroom library

(I moved my library -not sure just yet if I like it- and will include a pic when I'm happy w/it!)

(I'm having a bit of a "creative slogan" block!)

and my entry wall as it looks right now

(I still need to add student names to the owls, but I'm waiting until a little closer to our orientation.  Our class lists seem to be changing daily!!!!)

If you're wondering, YES, I did make my own owls.  I used scrapbook paper I found in "The Dollar Spot" and then another package of scrapbook paper from Target (I think it was only $1.75).  I had google eyes school.  So, we're talking about a $3.00 project!  I'd change a couple of things...

1. some of them are a little "busy" and I think the owl gets "lost".  I would mix/match my prints a little better next time. 

2. I would use the JUMBO google eyes.  I think they would really bring out their eyes!

I'm bummed now that I did not take an upclose picture.  Maybe I'll do that today.  I also have my pattern to share if anyone is interested, of course it needs to be scanned. 

Have a great day blog friends!  If you need me...
I'll be my classroom! :0)
