Getting the classroom ready...

This time of year is busy, exciting, and exhausting.  Did I say exhausting?  There are so many little details that go into getting the classroom ready.  Although I am not "officially" back at work, I am going in this week because I won't have all the time I need to get ready next week.  I am excited with the way my room is coming together.  It's the first year that many of my things (border, paper, bulletin boards, bins, etc.) coordinate.  My room has a mix of white, blues and greens (LIME! Love it!) and it feels calming.  As for a theme, I have cats and dogs.  You may be wondering how that goes with the color scheme, but let me tell you... it works!  I don't know how, but it does.  I didn't want to go the primary color route that would have worked well with cats and dogs too.   I am also realizing just how OCD I really am.  I actually took down part of a bulletin board because the border wasn't straight enough.  I also spent an hour tripling the border around my math wall!  Ugh!  I drive myself crazy.  Pictures will come soon.

Do you have a theme or color scheme, or both?
