Incorporating more orange and yellow

If you haven't been able to guess what my class color are by now, I'll help you out. They are orange and yellow. Mom and I picked up orange and yellow everything; baskets, flowers, trays, ribbon, you name it. I told Mom that I'd post more pictures so she could show my grandparents when she got back from visiting me. My classroom felt lonely today without her. =(

This paper drop management tool is going to help me so much! Such a timesaver! I found the idea on Pinterest, which lead me to http://www.realclassroomideas.com/resources/Classroom+Management-Paper+Drop.pdf where the original idea came from.

The middle of my classroom needs some work still. I'm trying to decide what seating arrangement I can use with those desks. It's either rows or U shaped for the first few weeks of school. That way I can see everyone's faces. I'm thinking about changing everyone's seats every 5 weeks so that they don't get too comfortable or bored. =)

Have a nice day!
