Almost one week under my belt of my first year of teaching. I feel very lucky to have a happy and excited group of 23 fourth graders, and I can already tell it will be a fun year!
While it is inevitable that I will be overwhelmed and stressed throughout this year, I also am anticipating the joys to outweigh the bad. I know that God has me teaching for a reason, and it is my desire that the students know that they are loved, cared for, and important when they are in my class.
Knowing that I want these students to feel welcome, my first goal was to create a positive, fun, and bright environment! I absolutely love decorating and truly had SO much fun planning and preparing my classroom! Some of the things you see in the photos can be found on my Teacher's Pay Teacher's store, which you can check out here!

As you can see, I have implemented some flexible seating into my classroom for the year. So far it is going well. For the first week I wrote the student's numbers in different seats each day so that thy get a feel for the different options and learn about where they think they will do their best work at. Hopefully within the next couple weeks we will be able to transition to them having more of a choice daily or weekly.
Let me know if you have any questions about where I purchased any items!
If you're a teacher, I hope you have a great year! I would love to connect with you in any way!
