New School Year!

Well, it's great to be in the saddle again!  I've got a super group of new third graders I'm already in love with and can't wait to see every day.  My room got a new paint job making it brighter and sunnier.  The curtains are down getting cleaned and I'll re-hang them this weekend (they look horrible in this picture).   
                                            Here's my before picture...

                                              Here's our after picture (minus the curtains)

                                               This is our reading hut in the back of the room

The baskets hold  our A.R. reading books I've collected.  They're

all labeled according to their reading level.
