Bookshelf love

Whew!
Just got  back from working in my room and man..amazing what a little elbow grease will do!
My awesome dad joined me and I put him to work!
We met the custodian and the maintenance men and they immediately became best friends with my dad. They even gave him a tour of the school!

View from standing behind my desk. We set up my kiddos desks and cleared off those back tables! Also, can my binder and calendar be any cuter? My theme is chevrons, bunting and bright colors. It is going to be wonderful..I can't wait till I get to that part of this process!

I believe that my kids should be reading books that are in their reading level. So I have been slaving over leveling and stickering every book in my room so they are reading something developmentally appropriate for them. These levels are determined through AR, so all of these books they can take tests on as well.
I'm extremely excited that I'm done with this process!

STOP.
Look how cute these are!  We painted them because they were 'well loved' before me and I wanted a fresher look. We got a small can of these colors for $3 each at the local ACE Hardware.
I love how they turned out.





Tonight, I'm going to paint the rest of my shelves and bring them in tomorrow!

Loves.
