Classroom Construction...

So I am currently under classroom construction...

I have to somehow come up with ideas and a theme for my new Kindergarten Music room! (Actually, I've got about 2 days to come up with ideas, and 2 small window of days to get it finished!) I have a couple of Rock Star/Hollywood themes that keep running through my head. You know...

A sweet collection of CD's hanging from the ceiling, inflatable instruments all around, the Composers' Walk of Fame, "Now Playing" and "VIP Section" signs (among others, I'm sure), and an awesome red sheet that covers part of my north wall where the SmartBoard resides.

I'm all for being a rock star teacher myself, but let's be honest... This could take me a LOT longer than the time I have. Yes, I could absolutely put it together piece by piece, but who wants to walk into a classroom looking like that? (Truthfully, I wouldn't mind. Being that I just spent the semester in what can only be called a storage closet with my 20 small friends, AND sharing it with another teacher!)

I walked into my room today, and even though my desk is still not moved in... IT LOOKED HUGE!! I have all kinds of room to play great games with my friends and move around and really get into MUSIC!! I've got planned an artistic activity with the music, creating our own book for each classroom, movement activities, and a program! I CAN'T WAIT!

Who am I kidding... I'm a teaching nerd in the works. Haven't been out of school for a week and I already can't wait to get back in the classroom. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to send in a daily (or weekly) blog during all of my construction!!

Happy Decorating!
