So I survived my first full week of school! We actually have been in school for 8 days, but the first week we didn't have kids until Wednesday. I literally was wiped out by Friday. It's not like I slept in til noon everyday on summer break... So most of my weekend was pretty nonproductive. I got sucked back into Lifetime TV and all the crazy movies on there. They are always about a love gone bad or a jealous boyfriend/girlfriend. I know...cheesy, but I kept watching one right after the other.
I have the same group of kids this year since I looped with my first graders to second. They are an amazing bunch of kids. I must say they were a little more chatty on the first day then a normal first day of school because they were all so familiar with each other. It's going to be a great year!!!
Since I have them again I had to change my classroom theme. Last year we had a ROCKSTAR theme. They were begging me towards the end of school to tell them what are new theme was going to be, but I told them they had to be surprised. I even got texts over the summer and puppy dog eyed pictures begging me to tell them the new theme. LOL!! But I held out and they sure were surprised on the first day of school when they walked into their Super Hero classroom.
Here are a few photos. I need to take more tomorrow so I can show you our new tables and seat covers.

| A dad in my class made this for me. I told him what I wanted and this is the hit of the classroom. That's my classroom phone inside. I also have 2 capes hung up in the right corner. The kids love to wear them during Read to Self. |
We just did the coolest art project on Friday. We made our own super heroes. Look at how cute they turned out.
I laugh every time I look at them. I was going to put up pictures of super heroes so they had something to look at, but I forgot. This is what they came up with all on their own. I thought they were each so creative on how they decorated their super hero. I am just finishing up on this small super hero unit. I would love for a couple of people to check it out and see what they think. Please leave me your email if you are able to check it out by 9pm PST.
I have a couple of different writing prompts included inside. There is also all the patterns to make the super hero. It was so much fun!!
Happy Sunday!!
