Preparing the Soil for Growth.

I've been working pretty hard in the garden lately. Going in about every night for a couple hours after Brinn goes to bed. I've decided to think of my classroom and students as my garden. I love my sweet little garden. It's not perfect, you will find weeds in there. I do have trouble getting things to grow, and yes I did put way to many plants in there and they all have overgrown each other and are killing each other as we speak. let's just pray that doesn't happen in my classroom. (which some days it will!) Not killing children no, but maybe just rough days, I want to make that clear.

Back to my garden, you have to take time when growing a garden. You have to be gentle and you have to know exactly what each plant needs to grow. Same goes for kiddos, we need to know what it takes for them to learn, they are all different. What excites me and scares me is just that. Will I be able to figure out what they need? What if Suzie gets behind? How will I help her? I'm getting very nervous the closer August 20th comes!

I've been doing a few things in my room and I'd say my 'theme' is a Garden. I have plants in my room, I have greens, yellows, and oranges. I love color especially in a Kindergarten room! 

So... preparing the soil for growth!!! 

I will be having a hanging word wall. After the fire Marshall comes! This will be to save my walls for the kiddos work!

This will be to organize different things we will need. I got the small bins dollar bin at target. The larger bins were in the serving ware at target. 

Our Garden of Reading. (My mom is wood burning a sign to hang over this area :) 

Table numbers definitely classroom management piece. 

My Aunt gave me probably 2,000 plus books no joke. It took days to sort and get put up on a shelf in my closet. I was pretty overwhelmed I think the majority of the sorting I was balling. No Joke. 

My peanut just woke up! More to come in the next couple weeks :)
