Last Years Classroom Setup 2011-2012

Last year was my first year in fourth grade and I had a sports theme. I like it, but I felt as if I had too many colors making it overwhelming and distracting. This year I switched to a racing theme, painted my bulletin boards all black, and stuck with a more uniform color scheme of black, white, red and a little yellow (University of Maryland colors). Check out my first post for pictures from this year's classroom setup!

Classroom Setup 2012-2013

Since I'm a blog addict and have stalked blogs for years, I decided to start up my own. School has started and I successfully made it through my first week! Here's a peak at the beginning stages of my room... I can guarantee it will change throughout the year since I'm completely OCD! I absolutely love creating things for my room which is probably why I'm there late every night!

I went with a racing theme this year to incorporate my new colors (red, white, black, and a hint of yellow)

I went to the University of Maryland and really liked how these colors went together.  I also wanted all of my bulletin boards to have a black background so that whatever was on them would POP!
