Little by little

Little by little my room is coming together. I spent 3 days in my room the week of July 9-13 and did some things. What? I'm not sure. Then I was blessed to have the help of my parents (mainly my Dad) to help me hang bulletin board paper. Last night my mom went back with me and helped me hang the film strip border that came in. 

I seem to be spending HOURS in my room and not getting anywhere. I know the kids do not start until August 8th (thanks Marc for the advice!) but I just want to get it done so I can focus on the important stuff. Ya know like curriculum and getting the first few weeks of copies done and all that. The room isn't important but having it all nice and neat and cute helps. Right? It does! At least in my own little world it does. 

So the entire room is done in the Hollywood theme, however, my own little corner of the room is done in one of my most favorite things - polka dots! And PINK! 

The calendar I was debating putting up, along with my "Specials" board, which will tell the kids and remind me where we go each day. The bare pink area will be for me to hang important info for myself.

Next to my little corner of the world is the mail box with a view of the film strip border. Above the mail box I'm going to put a title of "Fan Mail" because well I will be having celebrities in my classroom!

Also, the custodians have been so wonderful! Every time I've needed something they've gone on the hunt for it or moved it or helped me come to a decision about it. In order to have my desk the way I wanted it I needed a much longer internet connection cord. Al went on the hunt for it. Then I wanted to plug a power strip into an extension cord so the power strip would be closer to my computer and other items that needed to be plugged in. I was told I couldn't do that but that he might be able to get me a power strip with a longer cord. Turns out I had one right in my own room! I needed a book case removed from my room (I know! How could I not need a book case? But I did.) Michael was right on it; moving the book case. 

Little by little it will all come together. Some how some way. 

And August 8th is another 2 weeks away! I have time. I just need to breath.

PS - more pics to come!
