My Pre-K Classroom

At the end of EVERY year, we have to take EVERYTHING down and pile it onto our tile so they can clean our carpets and then make our tile SPARKLING!!

I know.. I'm an awful packer!!

My mom (who also teaches Pre-K at a Title I school) came and helped me get the basic layout down. After teaching this program last year, I KNEW I needed to CHANGE it from last year! My BLOCKS were in the center and I felt like they ended up ALLLLL over my classroom!!!

After our teacher work week, I feel like I am FINALLY ready to start the year!!

We changed the carpet and shifted the middle island over...

My mom is a PRO at these stuffed animal heads!! 

The library finally has a shelf for puppets, felt pictures, all the fun stuff for them to read with!! (I use this area after snacks as well so they have a place to go to when they're done eating and waiting for circle.)

Okay... So I have a FEW too MANY monkey decorations!!

Yesterday (Friday) we had our Open House.  I was SOOOO excited to meet parents and my new students!! I have some returning students who were 3 last year & it's ALWAYS fun to see how they've grown over the summer!!  

Here's a little peek at my Open House info I give out.. (Anyone who wasn't able to come will get the brochure & info sheet on the first day..)

A brochure the teacher I work with made with all the info for the class..
An information sheet we've adjusted from others we've seen or used previously..
And a cute little book I found on PINTEREST last year (Sorry,  I'm not sure who I got it from.. credit to whoever it was.. I LOVE IT!!)
