classroom makeover part 2

     I am not gonna lie, I have been up at school a LOT over the past month.  I admit it….I was a little paranoid when it came to moving EVERYTHING out of my old classroom into my new classroom.  I am not a "wait until the last minute" type of person (BIG surprise).  Just when I thought I had gotten all of my things out of my 1st grade classroom, I would go back to do a final "sweep" and I would fill up another entire dolly with more *stuff*.  OMG, I discovered that I have way too much stuff that I had not been using and didn't envision using any time soon, so I put a lot of it out into the hallway to find a new home, which apparently it has since it is no longer there!  I hope that other teachers will find a way to incorporate those things with their students :)
     Anyway, I feel like I am finally at a point where I could take pics of my classroom because I'm about 90% done with it!  I know it seems crazy, but I like taking the beginning of the summer to get my classroom ready for next year and then having the second half of my summer relaxing and not doing anything too much school-related.  I just really don't like being rushed to get everything done in the last 2 weeks of summer!  I am lucky that my school is open during the summer so that I can have the opportunity to work in there when it is convenient for me.
     I decided to do a rockstar theme, but not go too into the theme so that I could reuse a lot of my bulletin boards for next year if I wanted to.  This way I will not have to change everything just because I'm not doing the same theme from year to year.  So, I have a few "theme-y" things up, but for the most part, I just chose patterns and designs that I liked!  Here are the pics of my new 2nd grade classroom!!!

     

     I am really excited about the way everything came together in my room!  Now I just have to get my door and hallway decorations done, along with my calendar bulletin board and I will be ready for kids!
