So, it's back to school season. And I remember writing a post a few years ago about setting up my classroom, and I was secretly so proud of myself for having matching caddies and baskets for each table color. I was impressed that I copied another colleague and used clothespins to hang up student work to save myself time when I need to change their work. I even printed out my own signs. On white cardstock. I felt so cool with my classroom set up skills I was practically high-fiving myself creating the blog post.
Fast forward to 2017, and things have changed in the classroom set up department. With the explosion of Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, teachers are taking this classroom set up thing to a whole new level. I mean, I think Chip and Joanna Gaines should be inviting some of these talented educators onto their show to help them out with fixing up some houses. I'm simply amazed and inspired by all you teachers out there who are decorating and color-coordinating champs. I'm pinning your ideas, drooling over your pictures on Instagram, and following you on Facebook and Teachers Pay Teachers. I know I am a better teacher because of you.
However...
