Ready Or Not Here They Come!

Tomorrow is our first day of school.  I am worried I have forgotten something because I have NEVER been ready (home and school stuff) this early the night before school starts.  I have been busy on Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teachers to get my school ready.  My coworkers and I were wondering how we ever taught before they were created.  Here are a few pics of my room.  I'm praying we have an awesome school year and I show Jesus to my students and their parents.  
Students will have their name on a clothespin.  Each day the clothespins begin on green.  As their behavior improves their clothespin goes up. Their clothespin goes down, as their behavior goes down.
We will use this to identify how each student will get home.  I have done something similar for years and LOVE it because I know before my planning time how all of my students are getting home. This eliminated waiting until dismissal time to realize there was a problem.
I'm using these as a visual for the students to know what materials they will need for the next activity.
This board will become an extension to a lesson on what to do when you get mad/sad.
I had to throw a little Duck Dynasty in the decorations.  Uncle Si will be welcoming the students back tomorrow.
