A Little Tour...

...through my classroom and my school! Come in! Come in! Open House isn't until Thursday evening, but you can take a peek early because you are special.

This is how it started a few weeks ago:

Then I began to unpack my boxes and set up my room before the first day of school:


I am in the new part of the elementary building, so I have to admit that I call my second grade classroom "the suite". It's the biggest classroom in the whole district. It happened that I got put in here a few years ago because there was no room for me anywhere else, and I LOVE it.



Now, let's walk down the hallway...toward the art room:




Don't you just LOVE the way one color blends into the next one? ♥
But, it gets better:

This is one of my best friends:

He's bigger than me and was created by a high school student three years ago. Let's just say, that if he fit into my car, he'd be on my bed right now.
Hope you enjoyed your visit. Please come again soon. You could bring cupcakes. ♥

I have a pickup truck, would that help? Of course I can't guarentee that I wouldn't take him home either! He's adorable and i love the walk to the artroom. How happy it all seems! Thanks for the tour.

Thank you for this tour of your school and the wonderful art work. my daughter would love your room, she teaches is a low decile school in a low socio/economic area so the school doesn't have rooms anywhere as nice as this but she and the children brighten it up.
