The Second Grade Circus: 2014-2015 Classroom Reveal

I can't believe summer's over and school has already started! It went way. too. fast! Even though I was still busy this summer working part time and taking grad classes, it felt like a break because it was different than the normal craziness of the school year. 

I decided this year to use the same theme I used last year, but vamping it up. Though it's the same theme, it feels totally different because I had to move classrooms. My classroom last year is one of the biggest in the school and my dad (the 4th grade teacher) was going to have a huge class this year and needed more space. Since I have a tiny class it just made sense to have us switch. It was A TON of work, but I actually like my new classroom better, even though I have less space. 

Like I did last year, I decided to try and do everything DIY for my classroom first of all, to save money and second, because it's actually fun!
