The school I teach at isn't the nicest. It's old. Not cute old, just old-old. But my coworkers and I try to make it nicer, and this summer especially, I tried to add some homey, cozy touches for the kiddos. Here are some of the bits and pieces that make me really happy.

i hope you have a wonderful school year.
looks good! i never attended super nice schools and i always appreciated the small touches and effort my teachers put into making the classroom look nicer :)
I wish you were MY teacher. School would've been much sunnier :)
Cute! The little succulent is my favorite :)
I have this print I accidentally ordered 2 of awhile back for my "someday" classroom - the extra is yours if you'd like it!

Good luck with the rest of your first week of school! I can't wait to be finished with school as a student and begin as a teacher someday.
i think it looks lovely.

what sweet pictures! i've been back at my school this week doing all the boring paper work bits, and i am getting more and more excited for the kids to show up. its kind of eerie to be in a quite school building! i hope your year is starting off well!!
I love it! I'm an English teacher too (although currently unemployed thanks to my recent move). Your photos make me want to get back in the classroom!
Your classroom looks great!
I love these little highlights of your classroom!! It makes me wants to show bits of my classroom as well! The colorful bookshelf is pretty. What level are you?
This is awesome!!!! What an amazing teacher you must be, I bet your students adore you!! Have a great school year!!

i bet your classroom is the cutest!
what grade do you teach??
I think it looks great and I like how good your pictures are. What kind of camera do you use? Also,what grade do you teach? ...I just realized this had been asked too,sorry. :) Have a great school year!
I love this! I bet you're a rad teacher too!
how cute are your little classroom touches! back to schooling has always been a favorite of mine. i bet you are the sweetest teacher :)
these are all such cute photos! especially love that colored chalk one :)
I like colored chalk :)
I will have to take some of my classroom. We have a new school, but we have three teachers in one room so that kind of makes things look ...cluttered.
Can I be in your class??? I promise I'll be good. :)
wow, I never thought to take pics of my classroom before. I'm not sure you want to see it...a little bare at the moment being a new teacher and all:)
I like the colors! I love having bulletin boards with all sorts of stuff posted on them. :)
It looks like a very fun and cute school! ^_^
Thank you, teacher!! for making us smarter! ^_^
it looks just lovely! and it's sweet of you guys to try to pretty the place up. x
Cute! Love that you're incorporating some plants. How fun to teach seventh and eighth grade English. :)
I love how much effort teachers put in. When I was a child I never noticed it at all... wish I could go back in time and thank them!
Good luck with the first few weeks!!
I can just imagine that you are the teacher that all the little boys have a crush on and that all the little girls want to be. :)
Loved this peek into your professional world. xx
What a beautiful way to show us your classroom! I want to be a student :).
Gorgeous details!
Oh my goodness...just found your blog through Freckles in April and LOVE it. I really like this post with all the pictures from your classroom. Darling idea to give a glimpse into your everyday life. I think I might have to do that. xoxo
knowing you, i'm sure your room is a fantastic atmosphere for learning. your succulent and colored chalk made me really happy just looking at them. :) i taught 7th & 8th grade for 6 months in a teeny school in my past career. it was a lot of fun and the kids were all so sweet. this post made me sort of miss that life for a moment. hooray for teachers everywhere!
Your classroom is so cute! Your students are so lucky to have you.
I must say I'm jealous you're teaching junior high English. I still haven't been able to find a job. Maybe next year?
My dad was a teacher, and I remember tagging along with him to the school supply store before each school year. He actually spent the school's money on supplies and decorations for the classroom. As a stark contrast, I get notes from teachers at my etsy shop telling me that they are trying to make their own dollars stretch because they have to spend their own money...and not just on decorating, but on supplies as well! One teacher told me that she had to ask parents to donate paper last year! So very sad.
Sorry to leave such a long comment, I just had to share this with you because I knew you'd get it.
I love your special touches. Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher!
xo
It looks gorgeous! I am just off to start teaching in a new school, so love the fresh start you've done!
it's lovely. I am especially digging the pretty chalk.
I love the 'read' shots! Actually, I love 'em all. Good on you for caring so much. XO

loved the peek into your classroom! i teach four year olds, but i always enjoy a glimpse into the world of other teachers, no matter what age or subject they teach. :)
