Classroom Prep for Beginning of School

I spent the day in my classroom. I made for things for the walls: a pirate girl, a pirate boy, parrot and a pirate boy peaking over the top of a treasure chest. Now to get them laminated and on the wall. Tomorrow is Staff development and reviewing all that beginning of the year stuff that has to be covered, meeting any new folks and then back in my room to finish it off. Pictures will be posted later, because there was no camera today....Ooops forgot to bring it in my excitement to get to school.
I got my class list with 24 names ( which will probably increase with new students registering). But for right now 24 little wonders who are probably wondering about me as much as I am wondering and excited about meeting them. Plan on sending out a little letter about me. I got this idea from a friend, Kristi, who teaches kindergarten at my school. She borrowed it from a teacher's website so the credit goes to all of the above for this letter...the idea is not original with me,but feel free to borrow the idea as we did (that is Kristi and I).
