I posted a sneak peek
here earlier this summer. Well, this morning I made a video tour of the room and completely forgot to ask Colton (my husband) to take photos. These are camera photos and they will have to do. I am so happy with how everything turned out. I reposted the before pics so you won't have to go back and forth.

Sorry for the bad quality photos. It doesn't do the room justice. I am so excited about the progress I've made in it. I have several more bulletin boards to finish, but this is what it will look like Monday morning! Throughout the years, it will just get better and better.
Congrats on your first year of counseling. You really lucked out with your counseling room. It seems like you have a whole classroom. Most elementary school counselors that are in my area (DC Metro) usually get a small office. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tina. I am very lucky to have a huge classroom. I have an office too, but it's very small. My school is very unique. Most counselors in my area have a smaller office too. Have a great year!!
