Where did this come from?!

Where in the world did this come from?! I'm a TEACHER in Lexington One! I am still in shock...

I can't wait to meet all of my 90ish "STAR" students next week! I love getting to know all of my Pelion Middle family and getting my room set up just the way I've always dreamed it'd be. I am almost done setting up my room and I'm working on getting my parent letter and information sheets (all the stuff that parents hate on the first day of school) typed and ready to go home to my students. Next Monday night is Open House so I'll have to let you know how it goes!

 I'm going to have to get used to the fact that my students have lockers! I never expected to have "locker duty" during the day and have rules about students going to lockers at certain times.

My room is decorated with tons of stars and my students will be '"shooting for the stars" all year! I hung a string of star shaped lights at the back of the room and I am going to make a wall display that says Learning Is A Blast decorated with a rocket headed toward the stars. I am going to have a Star Student of the week for each of my four classes, which will be an earned title based on behavior. We are using PBIS, or Positive Behavior Intervention System, in our school which is designed to increase desired behaviors and decrease unproductive ones through positive reinforcement.

Pictures to come soon!
