Classroom Prep

Good evening everyone!

Today I spent five hours organizing and rearranging the supplies in my classroom, trying to get a good handle on what was left for me so I can finalize my budget order. I'll be going back in tomorrow to finish going through books and posters and then I'm ready to submit it! So exciting, more so for me because its my very first supply order as an art teacher ! :)

After I got home I spent hours on Pinterest trying to finalize ideas for bulletin boards and my classroom management plan. After taking copious notes and doodling along the way I finally think I have a solid handle on this upcoming school year. Although, most of my ideas are pretty ambitious I cannot wait to jump into hand making my posters and the lettering that will bring my room to life. Art is all about creativity and I want my students to feel inspired the second they walk down the hallway to my room. Yes, that's right. Walking down the hallway, not just entering the room.

From what my new co workers and administration has told me this elementary school is in desperate need of some art and color. After the old art teacher retired, I guess she didn't do as much as she could've to display her student's work. Let's just say that I plan to make a difference in this school with the amount of color I am going to bring.  It's my first year after all, I'll learn from my over ambitious mistakes. Although I always have been an over achiever ;)

Hopefully I'll start creating my posters and designing my bulletin boards soon so I can take pictures and bring some life to this blog as well!

Thanks for stopping by and reading my rant.
