Ok, the WordPress app just needed an update, so now I can post those photos. By the way, today went very well. A very nice first day.
Here was my classroom around 5 or 6 Wednesday evening. I stayed until almost 8 getting it all done, but I won’t post an ‘after’ picture because….meh.
Our toddler teacher took some bulletin boards off her walls and realized they had been painted around and we did not have any matching paint. She asked if she could do an accent wall, and choose a teal-ish blue. Normally I am vehemently opposed to crazy bright colors in early childhood room (so ‘cutesy’ and crazy-making), but she has good taste and it is a good complement to her style.
The sun was fading as I took these photos, so they are not as attractive as they are in real life. My student teacher from last year is our new 3’s teacher, and she really did a splendid job making her classroom look nice and inviting.
My contribution was a spot for her baritone ukulele. I had a board long enough to make a shelf for over the window. It’s high enough out of reach that the school-age kids won’t bother it. If they do, I will remove their hands.
Lastly, Sam’s room. He removed a bunch of shelving and painted one wall a bright green. “Why?” you ask? Well, that will just have to wait for a future post…..
