Registration Day

I am so excited about this school year! I meet the most amazing students and parents today. Daypspring Academy is a blessed place, and I'm so thankful to be a part of it. Let the learning begin!!

First pictures of our classroom!

I snapped a few pictures of the classroom today. I still have a few things left to work on, but at least you will get some sort of idea of what things look like!

This is our writing bulletin board.

It is difficult to see from this view, but these are the students' cubbies. Mom made them star shaped name tags. I didn't take pictures of the awesome name tags on their desks.

From this view you can see where we will be displaying our correspondence with our troops.

I just love my curtains!

I took this picture from the doorway leading into the classroom.

We Support Our Troops!

It is my honor to introduce two soldiers that our class will be "adopting" this school year. It is not often that a father and son are allowed to serve our country within the same unit. However, these brave men are doing just that! Command Sergeant Major Brian Woodall and his son, Private Chase Woodall, are being deployed to Afghanistan this month. Our class will be learning more about each of them and their families as the school year progresses. (So I don't want to give away too much information for now.)

Please keep them and their families in your prayers!

Writing Tool Box

One of the things I want to create over the summer is a Writing Tool Box for every student. I want to include a dictionary, thesaurus, several different kinds of paper, pencils, colored pencils, etc. Of course, students will be working on a Writing Notebook that holds our writing lessons.

What kind of container can I use that will hold everything and fit our theme? The search is on!

Welcome

One of my goals for this upcoming school year is to document, document, document! I am planning on creating an out of this world portfolio (with the help of my mother, of course) and keeping this blog updated! I truly love to teach third grade, and I want to share all of my joy with you.

The theme for my classroom for the 2011/2012 school year is going to be "All American". I have a lot of work to do in order to create the perfect patriotic atmosphere. I've chosen to go in the direction of the Americana feel. I promise to post pictures of the transformation of the classroom during the summer!
