Week 7 of Maternity Leave (and a FREE DOWNLOAD)

Well, I've been off for 7 weeks now (really more if you count the summer). So, that's 7 weeks with my beautiful new daughter. Before she was born, I had grand plans of blogging every day and working on all the TpT projects I never get finished ... HA!
Yeah right! Today, she finally took her first three hour nap (in her swing and not my arms) and I got some sleep last night. Hence, I'm not in zombie mode.

Now that I've gotten some sleep, I realized I never posted all of the pictures I took of my new office/classroom in our reading department. Since I will staring a new job as a reading specialist when I go back to work, I had to pack up my classroom and prepare a completely new space for this school year (which was very fun while 8 1/2 months pregnant).

Here's a peak at what it looked like when I saw it last at the end of August. I'm sure it looks a lot more "lived in" now that kids have entered the space and small groups have started.

I left some blank space to use for learning objectives, group work, and other things that I'll want to hang for the students to use. 

How do you keep your space organized? I love labeling EVERYTHING! In fact, I just added the labels I made for this space to my TpT store. And they are FREE :) Just click the link and download them for yourself.
