Well I am so glad that is out of the way. This year we had our Open House before the kids came back. I have to say I really liked it. Getting my room together this quick was a challenge, but I had to realize that some of the stuff could wait because I want the kids to add their touch to it.
My classroom is going to have a Fairy Tale theme this year. I really love having a theme that goes along with what I have to teach. We are all going to be the subjects of the Kingdom of Kuhn. I am going to call my weekly newsletter "The Kinghtly News" I that too cute or what? These are the little things that keep me going.
I have a freebie for you. It is my morning routine posters. I have just used clip art from the internet. I am pretty sure it is free, but I am not making any money from it so you should be able to use it too. I hope you enjoy my little tour. I will be posting more classroom pics after the kiddos help me complete it. I would love ideas for Rapunzel's Tower,

| Here is Rapunzel's tower. Don't know what I will do with it yet along with my bulletin board listing the royal subjects of the Kingdom of Kuhn. |
 |
| This will be the frame that I will use to take pics of the kids on the first day. |
 |
| I used the poem from The KinderGals for my apples |
 |
| These were that Magic wands that I made that said, "It is going to be a "magical" year.
I have seen similar ideas floating around on the web. |
 |
| This is my reading area. I do Daily 5 and last year the CAFE. This year going with my theme I am doing the FACE of a reader. The first poster is the magic mirror with the face in it. (Think Shrek) Each of the other 4 posters are mirrors with each of the letters of FACE and definitions in them. |
 |
| I am using this whole group incentive along with my PBIS clip chart that will track individual behavior. I picked up these cute cupcakes at Michael's and cute sign at 4th Grade Frolics. |
