Before Pictures

Here is what the room looked like when I walked in after summer vacation. The custodians did an AWESOME job cleaning! This is looking into the classroom from the hall door.

This is right inside the classroom door. I call it our mud room. I really need to clean the tops of these cabinets. Inside - BOOKS! (Don't tell my husband!! LOL )

These are the coat hooks. Don't worry - all that stuff will be put away before the kiddos get there.

This is my teacher table, guided reading table and what ever else I need it to be. I got rid of my teacher desk a year or two ago. I haven't missed it at all. :) Never sat it anyway!! I love my built in bookcases for my teacher books.

This is really fuzzy - sorry! I'm not sure what happened... This is the back wall of the classroom. I use part of the bulletin board for me. The book center is back here also - book cases on the right. I'm moving it a little this year. I'll post those pics when I'm done:)

This is the word wall. It is divided into sections. I will add the letters for each section and then we will add words as we go along. I made my curtains a few years ago - they are stars. Now I want polka dots. I'm not sure if I will change the curtains or not - depends on the cash flow.

This is looking at the front of the class. We will have our large group area in front of the smart board. The computer center is too the side.

The bathroom is at the open door. Then the sink. The other door on the right goes into the mud room but we don't use it.

This is the door into the mud room on the left and the opening on the right into the mud room. I moved the filing cabinets. It's a small bulletin board - never sure what to do with it...

Well, there it is - for now. It is a work in progress. :) It's looking better already. I'll post the finished pictures soon - hopefully:) .
