I recharged my camera battery!  Here are some more photos of my little room.  By the way, thank you so much to those of you who have left the sweet comments!  It just melts my heart!  :) It's hard to see but top image is one of my table signs.  I'm still going with the owl theme this year.  The yellow one is from Party City with owls glued on each side.  I used these as filler throughout the room.

I have been in this same room for five years now, and I don't know why I never thought to move my desk here.  It s...
So, we go back THIS Thursday!  It's been a super busy summer, so I do apologize from taking a blogging break.  I thought I would make it up to you with some new back to school freebies and some old ones, too. Last year, I transitioned to whole brain teaching.  I cannot even begin to tell you how much this changed my teaching for the better.  I encourage you, if you haven't, to check it out.  It REALLY works!  Here are some freebie rule posters if you are interested in trying it!
