Ready Or Not.....Here it Comes

GUYS!!! Tomorrow is the first day of my internship. Please don't ask me if I'm ready.... I'm afraid that vocalizing my answer could be traumatic. lol

The past few days have been surreal. I have been setting up my classroom and attempting to lesson plan for the first few days.  I have been meeting my students and getting to know them just in time for the school to rearrange my caseload. 

Let me take you for a quick tour around the classroom. I'm sure you've seen that I have created a superhero themed class. I share a classroom with another teacher, and I don't think she was thrilled about the superhero theme until students came in for kindergarten testing.  They were not excited about her Dr. Seuss theme knowing that Mrs. Bre's class would be having the superhero theme.  After that she asked me to make superhero nametags and cubby labels for her students too. haha. 







This is the door decor, and based on my students, it will only last for about 20 minutes before it's violently torn down. So we are going to enjoy it while it lasts! :)
































Here are the schedule and our classroom jobs.  I'm really excited about how they turned out!


                                                             

 The colored sheets are for our centers. We will have a batman/spiderman/superman center. Much more exciting than saying "go to that table" "Or go work with so and so". Also, these are the name tags that the other teacher asked me to make for her class. As a sidenote, can we just discuss how IMPOSSIBLE it is to find girl superheroes that are dressed appropriately?? Geeze.

Last but not least (And certainly my favorite piece of my superhero classroom)
I owe a GIANT thanks to my talented dad for drawing these for me. Especially with such a miniscule time frame to accomplish them. -Just goes to show that you CAN actually rush perfection! ;)
I also owe another GIANT thanks to my wonderful husband for staying up late to help me color them regardless of the hand cramps to make sure they were ready to go for school tomorrow.




 They turned out AWESOME!!! As proof of that, I had kids from other classes screaming about how cool they were as they passed my class. Of course they then got in trouble for yelling in the halls, but it certainly made me smile.


So far I have had a wonderful experience at sunrise preschool/Provo Peaks Elementary and I am overwhelmed each day thinking about how lucky I am to get this opportunity. I am sure that starting tomorrow I will be overwhelmed for different reasons, and that's ok. I love a good challenge. :)
