Sweet Bee Cottage: Your room looks wonderful. My students start on Aug. 18. My daughter starts on the 16. I'm a third grade teacher and you've given me some great ideas. I think I might be borrowing (okay - stealing) some of your ideas for your room. I just found you through pinterest (so addictive) and so I might have missed this, but what are you going to store in those great crate seats? I'm intrigued. Your room looks so big! How many students do you have? Gosh, I should not be pestering you with so many questions when I know how swamped you probably feel.

So thanks for this opportunity and yes, I'm a new follower, but I would have been one anyway. Have a great year!; August 9, 2011 at 6:50 AM
