Well, I’ve got marker all over my hands, I’m contentedly tired after a hard day’s work, and I made 30 new little friends today. That’s right- a new school year has started!
I moved into a new classroom this year, and I’m really loving it. I like making my classroom a place that is functional and enjoyable for my students, but also a place that I like being in everyday. I don’t go too crazy with decor themes, but I do like a little something that ties everything together. So this year, I went with polka dots because I just can’t get enough of them. Here are some pictures!
Found this wrapping paper to use for my door, and I just think it is so stinkin’ cute.

Spidey’s got a new gig: class librarian.

Nerd alert: I really like my new calendar and the blue/black & white polka dot combo. I mean REALLY like.

It’s even more fun when it’s full of 9 year-olds!
Your classroom makes me want to go back to elementary school! I totally love it.
Your room looks great Laura! Oh, how I miss teaching. 🙂 I love how organized your library is.
What a wonderful blessing for those 30 little friends!
I would want to go and learn there. I’m glad to see Spidey is still doing his part to save the world, one school room at a time.

The dots are cool, but Spidey is still my favorite!
It all looks great, Laura. I really like the polka dots and especially like Spidey’s new roll as the librarian.
Laura, you make me want to go back to elementary school. Like for reals!
