Our Class Is a Family

We spend a lot of time in the beginning of the school year working on creating a classroom environment that "feels like home" and where the people in our classroom "feels like a family". I actually just took this bulletin board down (wow -- I'm on a roll this year -- already on our second bulletin board in the hallway) and I hung these permanently in our classroom because we are a classroom family. I love these drawn portraits so much -- they make me smile every day.
