Whoohoo! First day went great!

I was struggling with the decision on whether or not to start CAFE and Daily Five today. I decided to give it a go and I didn't make it to CAFE, but we did start Daily Five Read to Self and my kiddos LOVED it! and they did awesome!!! I am so excited to start CAFE tomorrow and continue with Daily Five!

School starts Monday!

It has been a long two weeks! One week of orientation all day for five days then this week it has been a full week of trying to work on my room! I have been without a/c all week in my classroom, I almost got moved from 2nd to Pre-k the day I started on my room because I was the only early childhood certified teacher and they couldn't fill the spot and many other little thorns through the week that have finally all been worked out. Finally my room is mostly ready for school to start on Monday. It has been exhausting! I still have some walls to fill, bulletin boards to complete BUT my prize CAFE and Daily 5 wall are done! My reading areas with pillows, chairs, books, lamps and ample floor space are done! I am ready and excited to be launching CAFE and Daily 5. My 2nd grade team is peering over my shoulder to see how it goes and I am a bit nervous! The launch may be delayed one week because of the delay in kids registering for school, but we will see. Here is my room for now!
