Ta Da!!!!

Here's a glimpse into my classroom!  Fiiiiinally, finished...for now, at least.  Wes has been pouring his sweat and tears into the trails; this is where mine have gone...

A look from the doorway.
Looking back towards the door.
A view from my desk towards "computer central."  Five desktops in place and three laptops on their way!
Looking at "computer central" from the doorway.
"We love reading!" made it to Virginia! :) The reading table was setup for Open House today.
Dot carpet - genius.
Calendar math setup to the right, writing and supply center to the left, daily schedule in the middle.
That's right folks - a SMARTBOARD!!!!!  I'm told that having the projector mounted to the ceiling is a luxury.  I am just happy not to ever have to pull down a projector screen again, or drag the Elmo cart out into the middle of the room, attempting to perfectly position it so that everyone can see and kids can't stick their freaking hands in front of the projection. *sigh*
What could be better than a dot carpet and a Smartboard?  A FREAKING COLOR PRINTER (that actually works) DIRECTLY NEXT TO MY DESK!  I almost hugged the Tech. woman when she told me that the grade level color printer would be housed in my room.  And then she told me that there's a room filled with ink if we ever run out...are you kidding me??  Extra ink right at the school?!  I'm in teacher heaven.


FYI, my room is a converted computer lab.  Here's a look at a couple of the before pics.

Nice job! Congratulations on all the fancy technology! That's great that you have a smartboard! I'll send you some wedding projects to test your color printer. ;)

When I visit you, I plan on sitting on the dot rug and you will sit in the rocking chair and read me a story.

Classroom looks fantastic as always Jaime! Wish I was there to help you set it up.
