First Day

It went great! I fixed the link to the lesson plans, they should download with no problem now.  I’m too tired to type much more.  I’ll leave you with before and afters of my classroom:

Three Rules for the First Day:

1. WEAR A DRESS

2. WEAR HAIR UP

3. WEAR FLATS

FIRST DAY EVE..updated!

I took my camera to school to capture all of that hard work that I’ve been doing the past two weeks, and lo and behold the dang SD card wasn’t in there.  So I will take lots of pictures tomorrow during the day and recap what all we did.  If you havent started yet; where are my lesson plans for the week!
