I have my very own classroom!

So I am finally posting pictures of my classroom. I spent all day yesterday trying to get my room situated. I was lucky in many ways in that the teacher whom I am replacing left me tons of resources. Unfortunately, I have never been good about making decisions when I have many choices, so trying to figure out what to keep and where to put it turned out quite difficult. With that in mind, I think I have it mostly figured out. My bulletin boards don't have anything on them yet (I'm thinking a map would be a good idea),but other that that, it's about where I want it! Enjoy!

This is the view when you enter my classroom.

This is my view when I stand up front.

This is my desk! It looks a little disorganized right now, but that'll change when I find my system!

As you can see, it's a big room, and it has tables instead of desks. Also, it is painted that lovely...greenish/yellow color! I'm so excited to get some kids in there!

I'm at a training right now for all new KIPP teachers in Houston. There are a few other TFA people here which is a welcomed sight, and the gentleman giving the training is a TFA alum. Wish me luck as I plan out the first few days of class!

Cheers,
