Third Grade. Holler.

Bring. It. On. 

Here are pictures of my classroom for your enjoyment. Or your un-enjoyment. Either way, it's still my classroom.

BIG SHOUT OUT to my Aunt Ruth, my Aunt Lisa, my Mom, my Dad, my Boyfriend Jake, and his mom Kathy for helping turn an ugly brown room into something semi-pleasing to the eye. 

By the way, I have no theme. So as you scroll through these pictures, save yourself the pain of trying to decipher the strange eclectic theme of my room. It's theme is.. theme-less.

Now, here's what you've been waiting for:

Grabbed this idea from The Responsive Classroom and Teach for America, and tweaked it for my own liking. It's all about getting the students involved and out of their seats on the first day of school. I'll post some of their responses after we do this exercise. Also, writing the date and my name in real Cursive made me feel like a real life teacher. 

Like my TV? Haha

Word Wall. Love it. Hate it. 

All I know is, Dr. Russell will be proud of me. 

P.S. I do wish you could have seen Jake play with the inflatable globe. It was true joy, let me tell you. 

This picture sums up "me."

1. Thunder Up.

2. I like Math.

3. I like Star Wars.

4. I like Oklahoma.

Thank you Christopher Robin, Kevin Durant, Nelson Mandela, Peter Reynolds, and Anonymous for saying quotable things that I could post in my classroom to pump my students up.

Also, my dad and I made that "state flag" garland that's hanging in my room. I suffered many glue-gun injuries that won't be soon forgotten.

This is my favorite room in my classroom house (because teachers live in their rooms, you know..) I get to teach Oklahoma History, which is way cool because I adore this state's history. We will totally be singing the state song. I might even purchase tiny flags to wave as we sing. Woah, I'm getting all excited just thinking about it.

My alphabet. Ah. I love how it turned out. It's just plain cute. They are actually flashcards that I just used a clothespin to hold up. The backs of the flashcard are so cute. I wish you could see them. Oh wait.. You can. Here. 

Thanks Mom for helping put that together. 

This also serves as my reading zone. (I realize the shelves are a tad bit empty. I'm working on it, Okay?) 

I like the rug a lot. If I ever have super bad days, I might sit on that rug and cry just because it's so cozy. Hopefully not, though.

And there you have it! My theme-less room tour is now finished.
