Settling in.

OK, so I really wanted to post a video tour of my apartment but my internet won't let me. So it might have to wait until I upgrade, which I am so that I can also Skype people and have the video actually work.

But besides moving into my new place, my classroom is all settled! Now I'm just working on the logistics like making schedules, materials for circle time and actually planning things for my kids to do! I suppose that's kinda important. But here are some pictures of my classroom!


My first bulletin board! Alright, I can't take credit for this, my aide is fabulous at doing bulletin boards so she did it...but it was my idea! 



My kids made the apples! : ) 



My classroom all set up! I had to cover the shelves because we have lots of busy hands that are easily distracted.



Art center



Circle time area (we're learning about circles, hence the tape circle on the floor. : ) )



Library (had to pad the walls for little climbers)



Housekeeping



And blocks!

So that's my classroom. It'll be a little more decorative once I get my stuff in the mail, but apparently it's still in nowhereland somewhere. 

In other news, I went snorkeling for the first time the other day! Now you all know how I feel about ocean creatures, so this was a big step for me. But one of the ladies I work with was having a little get-together for her son's birthday at the beach on base. It's a really nice little beach with a coral reef. So I saw some really pretty fish. I was really scared at first and I hyperventilated a lot about breathing underwater but I got over it after a little while. But I refused to go out past the coral reef where it was deep and scary. Everyone here keeps asking me if I'm going to get dive certified, but I don't know about that because I might get eaten by a shark. 

Other than that, I've just been procrastinating actually putting anything away in my apartment and trying to find a car. Life is getting pretty good. : ) 

I'll post the video of my apartment as soon as I can!
