Happy Veterans Day!

Hello everybody! Happy Veterans Day! I hope that everybody had a wonderful day off.  Tomorrow it is back to work.  I am posting today to share with everybody one of my products that I am selling in my TpT store.  It is a voice level chart that I use in my classroom.  The children love it and love to refer to it throughout the day.


 Here is a picture of my voice level chart I have posted in my room.  Click Here to purchase your own!

Of course I had to make it polka dot theme since that is the theme I went with in my room this year.  All you have to do is move the clothespin to the selected level that you want your kids to use!

Have a wonderful night!

Here it goes!!

Well hello there everybody! My name is Alicia and I am a First Grade Teacher! I taught Kindergarten last year and it was a lot of fun but I must say, that I absolutely loveee First! 

I am starting up my very own blog! I am new to all this and am not quite sure how it all works.  I enjoy looking at everyone else's blog and decided that it was time to start my own.  Especially since I am also a seller on TeachersPayTeachers.  You can visit my store by clicking my link Miss Alicia T.  

I have much to share about my classroom and things that I have made and done.  I plan to share all of that with you!

Here are some before pictures of my classroom.


For some reason the left all sorts of boxes in my room that didn't belong there.


And shelves that weren't mine either.  

Last year I was able to pick out allllllll new furniture!  I chose new tables, chairs, bookshelves, even a new rug.  I loveeeeeee my room this year!  It is so bright, happy, and inviting for the children.  Here are some after pictures:



Love the round tables where each child gets their own "nook space".

I use this for each child gets their own book cubby. 

Our calendar area.


My small group area.




Area by my desk with items children have made me.




I have made a lot of changes since I have taken these photos in the beginning of the year.  I will share updated photos at a later time.  

I am very excited to be bringing you into my world! 
Enjoy your weekend! 

Miss Alicia T :)
