Transformation Thursday...Classroom before and after!!!

In honor of "Transformation Thursday," I thought I would take a look at how far I have come with my classroom!!!  I have not worked in my classroom for next year yet, but I am sticking with the same theme.  Just a little background...This will be my 8th year teaching and my 3rd at this school!

I was SOOOO excited to start at a new school! However, when I walked in my classroom, I wanted to CRY!!!  There was NOTHING!! I quickly snapped out of it when I realized the potential!!! It is a very large classroom- great for all of my center work!!!!  There was a brand new Smart Board and 3 HUGE bulletin boards! (I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could!)

Here are some crazy pictures I took when I first walked into my new classroom:

After 3 years of hard work, I think I FINALLY have it like I like it (for now at least!!!)
What it looks like now:

 

Much better, right?!!!! I can't wait to get in there and get everything ready next year!!!!  I love this time of year!!!!!!

Enjoy!
