FiRsT DaY Of ScHooL!

Today was the first day of school, and I bet I was as nervous as some of you guys were!!  Did anyone else have trouble falling asleep last night?!  Anyway, even though the library will not be officially open until next week, I was excited to meet some of you guys and thankful that I got to be part of the welcoming committee for our new Kindergarten students!  Today was great, and I'm looking to next 179 school day to get know each and every one of you!  So grateful for the opportunity to be at BCES this year! :)

Working Hard Before School Starts

Remember that "pop" of color I was talking about in my last post?  Well, I have been working round the clock making cute little "pops" of color to add to our library!  I have some cook ideas for the EIGHT bulletin boards the library is responsible for maintaining!  I am pleased so far with the way my projects are turning out, and I cant wait to see how these look when finished!  I also cant wait to get my sun room back in order- YIKES! :)  I've include a sneak peak of a few of the projects I have been working on!  Eeeek!!

First Day on the Job!

Today is my first day working inside the library.  I've got some pretty neat ideas about how I hope to arrange the space.  I am excited about making the library a little brighter by adding some color and by removing the old TV in the back to open the window coverings, allowing more light to shine through!  I also hope to create little "communities" inside the library.  I am still brainstorming it out, but so far I am thinking about a Dr. Seuss community, a rain forest community, and a Minecraft (Yep!  Minecraft, complete with Steve and Creepers) community.  I want to collaborate with some teachers that have been a while before setting my plans in stone, but I will keep you posted! :)

I am going to add some before pictures to this post!  I know that I have a long road ahead of me, but I cant wait to show you guys the final product!
