It’s our second year in this classroom (check out our first year) and wowzi does it look different. Sarah was able to buy some brand spanking new furniture (actually slightly used but we’ve always used recycled furniture, hand-me-downs, random stuff saved from the landfill that we made beautiful and bright but now we don’t have to work quite so hard although I did put in quite a few 9:00am until 12:00am in the last two weeks.)

Let’s start with circle because it’s my favorite time of the day – we are going to be so organized this year:
