Change is good!

Our new classroom, pre Mrs. Schaab and her dream team. 

On Friday I found out that I was going to be moving classrooms, down to the first floor.  Even though I had done a lot to prepare my classroom for the my new 4th graders I was excited about the opportunity to help out a new teacher, and transform a new space!  Many of my Field School colleagues joined me in helping me clean out old curriculum materials, and move my stuff downstairs.  After some creative thinking and some help from my family, we had this room looking better than ever!    Check out the pictures below of your new learning space for 4th grade!   I'm super excited about being on the first floor, and this classroom is amazing.  Check it out!

A HUGE shout out to everyone who helped me make this transition!  There is no way I could of done it without Mrs. Klepitch, Mr. Imber, Mrs. Gabel, Mrs. Bobowski, Mrs. Fitsimmons, Mrs. Machon, Mrs. Everett, Mr. Borst, Mrs. Cuthberson, Mrs. Barzowski, & Mrs. Pappas!   It was a great bonding experience for everyone!  Lila, Marco, Lennie, & Mr. Schaab helped too - and let me really work on my classroom this weekend. :)
