My room is ready to go! Tomorrow is the last day for teacher prep...and I get to have the whole day to plan for the first couple of weeks. Also, Meet The Teacher Night is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to meeting some of my students and their parents!
Here's pictures of my room (I went a bit camera snap crazy!)...

Super Cute room! I love the Must Do, Catch Up and May Do. I do Must Do/May Do's, but never thought of the catch up one. Plus the idea of mustard, ketchup and mayo is awesome! I may be "stealing' this! Enjoy your last weekend of summer! We start on Monday as well.
