So, in the last two months, I finished the last school year as a second grade teacher in my old district, took a one credit week-long graduate class, packed up all of our belongings, moved 9 hours from home to Kansas, closed on our first home, unpacked all some of our stuff, and started a new school year teaching first grade. No stress at all...:). But, I am feeling so blessed to where we are and after the first 11 days of school, I am soooo loving being back in first grade! They are so fun.
I thought I would share some before and after pics of my new classroom. It is a lot smaller than my room last year but I don't really mind. It's cozy.
If you would like the headings for the CAFE menu, you can find them in my TPT store here. They come in a pack with all of the strategy cards to print that are part of The Cafe Menu from the Two Sisters. I usually just make the first couple of cards in front of the kids.

After view from the side of the classroom. That is the main meeting area in front of the board with the calendar board on the left and CAFE menu on the right. The bins on top of the shelf will house all of their writing folders by table.
 This shelf divides the meeting area from the table area. It holds our pencil cups, folder bins, and writing paper bins for each table.
Oh, and you know that moment when it hits you that you are just overwhelmed because you just can't seem to have everything you need all in one spot at the same time? I just realized I don't have any pics of the library area or back of the room with the word wall. I'll have to take some and post them later.

And finally, for those of you who have not gone back yet or just haven't finished setting up your new room, here are a couple of resources from my TpT store that might help. Or, if you are just looking for some new management decor, check them out. :)
CAFE Menu Pack
VOICES Writing Menu Board
Chevron Classroom Jobs Clip Chart
This packet includes a classroom jobs heading and 16 different classroom job cards with descriptions. It comes in 9 different chevron colors and looks super cute on a ribbon with clothespins.
Ok, TGIF (tomorrow)!
