My classroom pics (before and after)

 I have been reading and admiring your beautiful classroom and I am finally ready to show my tiny classroom. It looks like most classrooms in Spain. We all have same cupboards and desks in public schools. I hope you like it. And please don’t judge me. I had just one day to do all the work! 🙂
We aren’t allowed to go into our classrooms until September. So when I went back to School I had only 4 days to get ready… I was a little stressed. This was how my classroom looked before. 
The we had meetings for the whole first day and then I was told that my classroom was going to be painted. WHAT?!?!
Don’t get me wrong. It really needed to be painted.
Painters came and did a great job! But I was left with THIS and just 1 day to tidy up for a new year! 
I was panicked! I had tons of photocopies to made too. Luckily my coworkers helped me with that 🙂
I spent all morning working in the classroom. 
I am quite happy with the results. The classroom looks clean now. It is a bit smelly yet, but I will be able to hang posters next week.
I would love showing you more about the organization. But you’ll have to wait because I only had time to push everything in the cupboards. Don’t tell anybody!

So here is the last photo. The First day was a great success I had lots of compliments from students and parents. I am glad I could close those cupboard doors.

I have enjoyed all this classroom photos. Check this linky party from Swimming into Second!

Last day of Summer and a giveaway

I can’t say I am sad because my Summer ends tonight. It’s been long. I haven’t been able to travel… But I have been visiting many of the beautiful places that are around my town with some friends.
Some days ago we visited the Oceanografic and saw this beautiful dolphins show.
We have been doing some trips and cheap picnics. 🙂
It’s been good.

BUT this is over. Tomorrow will be my first day of school. Kids won’t arrive until Friday and I have 4 days to get ready! Don’t panic…. I will! 🙂

Talking about the giveaway, Tabitha from FlapaJack Educational Resources contacted me asking for some resources for a giveaway. Who would say no to her? 🙂 I love her resources.
She is hosting lots of giveaways in her blog:
I would love participating in the first one. Isn’t that a great recycling center??? I wish it could be sent to Spain. 🙂

Anyway, visit her blog to participate. These are the resources I am giving away in the Spanish Teacher Bundle. Both are available at my TPT store. GOOD LUCK!

Therapeutic Thursday

Sorry about not linking yesterday… But I was totally unable to show where I teach. 
I teach in Spain and we don’t go back to school until September. 
But I can tell you what I do to relax!I live by the sea. I love relaxing with some friends. My town has lots of tourism and we have many beautiful places to have a drink by the sea. I took this photo yesterday!

I also love reading and running! I started some months ago with a friend. I try to do it twice a week.

Another thing that helps me relaxing is drawing! I have always loved drawing but never showed it to anyone. Recently I was brave enough to post my drawings on Teachers Pay Teachers and I am so happy seeing all my clip art on others’ products and all over Pinterest!
