After Shots...

As most of you know, I have been hard at work setting up my new classroom!  It's been a unique challenge because the building is still being completed.  I have been working around construction workers and contractors and electricians and, well, you get the point!  We only had 3 designated days to set up as much as we could and can't get back into the building until the day before the ribbon cutting!  Keep in mind that this isn't the finished product!  I got as much done as I could - all my things put away, furniture set up, etc.. - but I haven't finished "decorating" (my least favorite part).  I don't like cluttered walls and bulletin boards, so I always have a hard time decorating my room with posters and things!  lol.  Okay, here it is so far:

This is the view from the back of my classroom looking toward the front.  The lectern is on wheels so I can roll it wherever I want to teach from.

This is the view from my desk.  There is a book shelf in the corner in the back left side of the room and that is where my exterior door is.  Check out the new computers!  That's it!  The "computer" and "monitor" are all-in-one and will be wireless!  Yay!

This is a view of my desk area.  I am standing by my exterior door in front of the book shelf.

A view of my classroom from the same corner.

This is the view when you enter my room from the hallway.  You see my desk on the far left and the book shelf on the far right.

Another view from that side of the room.

I have this wonderful area in my room!  A large storage closet that I share with my friend LaToya who teaches math, and cabinets, counter space, and a sink!

Needless to say, this is much nicer than anything I have ever had to teach in!  :-)  It is big and beautiful and new!  Every classroom comes equipped with a ceiling mounted projector and interwrite board.  We will have so much technology!  I just can't wait to get started!!!
