Good, Bad, and Ugly

My bud Holly, over at Crisscross Applesauce is hosting her first ever linky party!  I couldn't wait to join in!  So, without further ado... here is my:

Here's my:

GOOD:

 I should tell you that this isn't ALWAYS how my coatroom looks.  I walked back there while my kids were at Library to take a pic to put it under my "UGLY" category- but my kids pleasantly surprised me with a clean coatroom!  Wahoo!!

 Again, this isn't always how my art center looks- but I'm actually proud of them for putting the glue bottles back in a nice order instead of tossing them in the bin.  Everything looks good! 



Now it's time for...  the

BAD

 My inside recess area... ugh.  I'd love to know how other teachers keep this area organized.
Let's move on before I get hives...

 Ugh- double ugh.  I asked my principal for a sink in my classroom- and he delivered!  But, with a sink comes MESSES.  I try to teach my Kinders responsibility and wash out the sink when you are finished washing out a paint brush, or rinsing something off after a science experiment... but, life happens and sometimes it gets forgotten... and thus we get stains.  And sometimes clogs.  But, I'll keep my smile on my face because I LOVE LOVE LOVE having a sink in my classroom- it sure beats doing finger painting and then sending 5 and 6 yr olds DOWN THE STAIRS to the bathroom- because that equals paint on handrails, walls, doors, blah, blah, blah.

And now it's time for the

UGLY

 my desk..... 

 a little closer....

 closer yet...

 THERE!  Do you see it?  That is what Holly calls a "crud collector" and I've got 2 of them lined up back to back!  It's where my book orders, highlights orders, field trip forms, thank you cards, school stationary, etc find a home.  I've seen all these blog posts about going teacher desk free- and I'd LOVE to do that- I would LOVE to have that extra space in my classroom for a fun little reading tent or something, but then where, oh where, would my book orders live??????

And, when I get a little braver... I'll show you one more UGLY that I was too ashamed to put on here.  I know, we all have one, but I have a closet that just lingers and stares at me and shouts DO SOMETHING... but I always ignore and blog hop instead :)


Thanks Holly for the fun linky party- and for putting up with my Good, Bad, and Ugly, I'll leave you with a little freebie- but it will only be up for 2 days- after that you can find it in my TPT or TN stores.
