To Do's and Ta Da's

Oh, my goodness! I have so much to do to get my room set up! I am moving to a new school and all my school stuff is in either my garage or a rented storeroom.

I have accomplished a few things - here are my Ta Da's:

  1. Decide on color scheme for bulletin boards (Paisley from Dots on Turquoise)
  2. Buy sheets that match said color scheme to use as fabric backing
  3. Buy borders and other materials for decorating
  4. Buy bins for classroom library
  5. Buy velcro, magnetic tape, Command adhesive strips ( I use these to hang everything! The poster size will hold all but the heaviest decorations.)
  6. Order teacher binder from Zazzle (I made it to match one of the papers from my blog design kit - I bought the kit so I could use the graphics in my classroom)

That is a great start. Now here are the To Do's:
  1. Make job chart and laminate
  2. Take all materials to school (a huge job!)
  3. Put everything away
  4. Arrange room
  5. Decorate
  6. Print and laminate labels for classroom library bins
  7. Sort books and place in bins
  8. Set up teacher binder - design and print dividers
Whew, what a list! And I know I have left a lot of things off - this is the priority list right now.

I'm linking up with Fabulous Fourth Grade Froggies' linky party. Go check everyone else's lists!

    Thanks for linking up Suzanne! The sad thing is that as we go through our list I am sure we will come up with a ton of other things to do!

    Whew!! That makes me exhausted just reading it. I can't imagine moving to a new classroom right now. I have only done it once and it took many weekends to sort everything out! Good luck:)

      I plan to take it a few boxes at a time. Surely I won't need all of it, right? Ha ha! Thanks for stopping by!

    Sounds like you have completed a ton of Ta Da's! Maybe my list wouldn't have seemed so daunting if I added what I have already done :)

    I'm a first year teacher so I feel like I have a ton to do even things I don't KNOW to do.
