Classroom Reveal- Finally :)

ByElizabeth S.

After all summer long, I am ready to reveal my classroom to you.  Are you about to die with anticipation?  I know that you have been waiting
all
summer
long.

{Sarcasm}

My only regret during this entire classroom make-over is that I wasn’t smart enough to do a before and after photo shoot. Man.

Beware…picture overload.  Some may say it’s like Pinterest threw up all over my room.

I took this first picture while standing just inside my door.  You can just make out two table groups.  There are three more groups to the right.  This is what you see as you walk in the room.


I like it.  It makes me happy.  My kids, who I met on Wednesday, all seemed to like it, too. 
Here are the rest of the pictures…

And to think that all of this started because of this little Sterilite drawer re-do………..

I’m utterly exhausted.  Thank the good Lord that school starts on Monday so that I can knock it off.

Happy 2012-2013 school year, everyone 🙂

  28. It is absolutely beautiful! And I know from experience what a lot of work it is to add the special touches to file systems, baskets, ceilings, etc., because I did it too! I am happy to have had Pinterest to inspire and reenergize my classroom! Good job!Maggie (Maggie's Kinder Corner)

  36. Love it!!! The colors are great and it so well coordinated!! I have two questions for you. #1 How well does the contact paper stick to your cinder block wall? I would love to do that to my wall, but NOTHING ever sticks to it– haven't tried contact paper, though! #2 Did you get your library book baskets (the oval-shaped green, pink, and blue ones) recently? If so, where did you find them? I have a similar set that I bought a few years ago and am trying to find ONE more to match! KateEduKate and Inspire

  43. Thank you so much everyone for such sweet comments about my room. I responded to those of you who asked questions who have the capability to “respond to sender” feature. I am still in love with my classroom and your comments make all the work worth it. I've been so busy with the start up to school, that I haven't been able to thank you in this forum…so thank you!!

  45. WOW! I absolutely love this! I wish I had just part of your creativity! I wish we could just get a whole bunch of “us teachers” together for a weekend and share, share, share! Your room is so cheerful! Wouldn't it be great to just bring lots of teachers from all over together and work together!Jamye Jaco
