Life in First Grade

Since it is my first year teaching, I have been told by several to take pictures for memory purposes. So...here's our class. I went with a basketball theme...surprised? I also decided on red, black and white as the color scheme. I still have a bit to do but we're getting there:)

Our hallway Bulletin Board

I couldn't have had this classroom ready without help. My cute sister-in-law Scarlet made the "Mrs. S." and "Let's Read" signs. My in-laws helped with incentives and our class treasure box-which the kids LOVE. My grandma Cher gave me all of the fabric for my bulletins. My mom helped me create most of my bulletins and charts. Jackson put in just as much work as me... and TA DA!! Thank you to everybody who helped me. First grade is definitely a challenge but I LOVE my kids and there is never a dull moment in our class. 172 more school days to go...but who's counting? :)
