Welcome to 1st Grade!

In an effort to continue avoiding my super-long list of things to do for back-to-school (and never-ending pile of graduate work, I might add) I have been helping my boyfriend set up his classroom. 

And I must say, I am pretty darn excited about it.   This will be his first year teaching, so his room was a blank canvas... and I can't believe how much there is to be bought, set up, organized, and planned!

Here’s a little previous of what we’ve accomplished after just 3 full days of set-up, 2 nights of cutting out laminate, 4  5 trips to Lakeshore Learning (my fave), and countless Amazon orders. Not too shabby.
