This Years Decor!

I finally get to share with you my classroom for this year. My theme was...school. Imagine that! Actually it is suppose to be Old/Vintage School Style. The neat part about this room is that it was converted over from what looks like an utility room that was made into a weight room. Here are the before pictures (after everything was cleared out):

Pretty uninspiring :) Here is what we made it into: Our "one room" school house

My one bulletin board (that's all I have room for). My father-in-law made it for me with palette wood.

Our First grade banner. I did a rough copy of a special lady's HOME banner (thank you Sis Lauren).

My chalkboard wall constructed to hide the air conditioning unit. Thank you Tim, Dakota and Bro Zach. I love it because we have our Calendar center there. Yep...I drew the pig. :)

Birthday/ Class Rules/ Reading Area. I don't have a picture, but that electrical box now has a black curtain over it. I hang their artwork on it. FUNNY STORY...a couple men came in to fix some of the gym lights. First off they couldn't find the light switch because I have it hidden behind the flowers in my flower box by the door, THEN they had to follow the pipes in the ceiling to find the electrical box. Oh well, what a woman and teacher won't do to bring a little beauty into a room. :)

Finally, my desk and filing area. I was lucky to have a little alcove to tuck everything into. The ice machine had to stay but it holds my cursive and job chart well. I do have to squeeze between the ice machine and chalkboard wall on the left to turn the air on and off...BUT I am so happy to have my own temperature control :).
