A little love letter to a classroom that changed so much over the course of a year. 🥹💛
Last school year was my first year back in an in-person classroom after several years of teaching online, and I was lucky enough to have this absolutely GORGEOUS space to make our own. It slowly became a little world of its own—learning spaces, play spaces, a living room, a kitchen, cozy corners, holiday magic, and so much more.
And then, near the end of the year, we found out that some pretty big changes were coming. My new space is… well. 😂 It’s a very small, very pizza-shaped room that is somewhere between a tiny office and a large closet compared to what we had.
But I’m ... excited about it.
I’ve been picking up furniture specifically for the new space, dreaming up ways to make every inch count, and imagining a cozy little cottage classroom filled with play-based learning, creativity, and all the little things that make a space feel like ours.
It’s going to be VERY different. And honestly? That might be okay.
Over half of my caseload will be with other classrooms this year, which means I also get to meet a whole bunch of new little friends—and I am SO excited about that. Our K–2 crew is going to be a lot of fun. 🥰
There’s still a LOT to buy, build, organize, and figure out before we’re ready, but I’m really hopeful about this next chapter.
This is just the beginning. I’ll share the finished space in a few weeks. For now, come get excited with me. 🏡✨
