Days Like This...: Five for Friday: Classroom Design Take 2

If you looked at my Pinterest board BEFORE I got engaged/married, you would see a lot of differences to what my actual wedding ending up being.

What I thought I wanted/envisioned ended up changing completely once it was actually here & new ideas popped up every where {thanks to all the wonderful and new things on Pinterest}.

So, where am I going with this…well in 3 weeks, before even entering my classroom I have already changed my mind on my classroom theme/design…thank YOU Pinterest.

I originally thought I wanted black with BRIGHT NEON colors!

Thank goodness I didn't do any purchasing, because I completely changed my mind once again:

Here is my new direction, my Lilly Pulitzer inspired colored scheme.

It was the bottom left Pin that set my wheels in motion and I immediately went to JoAnn's to stock up on supplies for my "About Me" Board for Meet the Teacher Night {final product coming Made it Monday}

I think it was the bright, cool colors with a bit of pattern mixed in that I just loved. It feels calm and refreshing. And I think it will be a little easier focusing on a few key colors, instead of a rainbow color pallet.

Can't wait for it all to come together in the end!

Here's the links to my Pinspiration:

3. The Wild Rumpus

On Wednesday, I was able to see my classroom and the school again. I was so lucky, because two other 4th grade teachers were there organizing their rooms and I got to meet them and able to get a lot of my questions answered. I FEEL so much better and my anxiety about the new year has gone way down.
Now starts the two week countdown to the first day of school!
And I was totally that girl taking pics of all the new stuff with my name on it!

Just around the corner is my one year anniversary of being a FLORIDIAN! It has been such a fun first year living here. I most definitely did not miss the cold weather of Missouri, especially after the winter they had last year. There are things I do miss, like season changes {especially Fall}, and of course our family and friends being close. But the opportunities we can have here by living in Florida make up for it.

This year I want to do more outdoor activities, first being Stand Up Paddle Boarding. I wish the boards weren't so freakin expensive; I would have had my own yesterday.

But for now, I made a reservation to have a 90 minute lesson tomorrow at the lake by our place through Kindred Boards or find Groupon deals.
