@2getherwearebetter SEPTEMBER- Classroom Reveal
Happy September! I LOVE my room this year. I just adore it, and I have been not so patiently waiting for this amazing opportunity to share my entire room with you! Are you ready? Let's first take a look at what my room looked like in July. It was yellow and blue. This was actually my room 5 years ago when I started my teaching adventure in second grade.

You could have a library stuffed full of books, but if they aren't the right books- I mean the kind of books that your students really want to read- then the library is dead. I don't want a dead library. I wan't a library full of life.
