Today I went in to begin setting up my room.  I could not get everything out but it was a good start!  Now, my room looks like a HOT MESS!!!  Can not wait to get it finished.

Here are some views of my room....

This is the view from my door.  I have unpacked all my closets!!!  

The view from the front corner.  I have all my boarders in another closet that I could not get into today. I share with another teacher, and she took the keys for the summer.  Tomorrow!! 

I keep all my books in containers by topic, I got a new book cart this year, so I am reorganizing my book bins.  I also, do not think I will need my lower level books this year, freeing up a ton of library space for NEW BOOKS!! 

My new system.  I hate loosing my cute hallway passes.  They leave them everywhere!  So hoping this year I can make this work.  

I have to finish it, with some boarder and a nice sign, but...I can not wait to use our new Fill a Bucket board.  I hardly have any walls in my room.  So, I used the small space under the board.

I have not decided if I will leave my computer center, and listening center like this.  Still working on this area.  

All my math activities sorted and ready to go!  

I'm really excited about adding this to our room this year!  I usually do the colored baskets, but now I can have students categorize all folders and notebooks by table colors also!  I will use the trays for work that needs to be collected.  

Last picture of today!  My library books are all being sorted.  Tomorrow I can build the carts!  

Lot of work still needs to get done.
